Don't you just the love the English for coming up with a national holiday like this? Well, technically they didn't came up with it, as it is just their version of what 'carnaval' used to be about with us: 1 day of indulgence before Lent (i.e.: the four weeks of 'vasten' before Easter). Some idiots in our country decided to turn that into the 5-day-long-horror that it is today, but here they've made it into this beautiful thing called pancake day. So tonight for supper: pancakes! And as dessert: pancake-cake! Can I just make a subtle suggestion to introduce this day in the Netherlands as well?
