Where to find pancakes in Milton Keynes
Today is Shrove Tuesday, a day that many of us also call it Pancake Day, but not enough of us know the meaning behind this historic (and delicious)day. Shrove Tuesday is a day celebrated by Christians, it is the traditional feast day before Ash Wednesday. 47 days before easter Anglo-Saxon went to confession and were absorbed from their sins. The ‘Pancake bell’ that still rings to this day is rang after and all will then eat the left over eggs and fat before fasting.
We thought we would do research for you and see where you can enjoy a delicious pancake.. or 3 in Milton Keynes, and please feel free to let us know of any others!
