So you eat pancakes on Tuesday to use up all the sugar and eggs and milk you have in the house, since you won't be eating those things during lent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday#:~:text=The%20association%20between%20pancakes%20and%20Shrove%20Tuesday%20appears,Shrove%20Tuesday%20since%20at%20least%20the%20sixteenth%20century.[/quote]
