[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tradition of Shrove Tuesday has nothing to do with using up ingredients but rather to indulge the last night before the fasting of Lent. [/quote] The vast majority of people with precious perishable ingredients are going to plan to use them up, especially in a time when food took a much larger part of disposable income, and when there wasn't refrigeration. So, yes, there was a indulgent piece, but using things up was also part of it. [/quote]
