No, you’re not flipping out … Pancake Day isn’t officially until next week, but that didn’t stop Kingaroy’s Anglican Ladies Guild from celebrating the annual tradition a little bit early this year.<\/p>\n

The Anglican Ladies have been enjoying a Pancake Day get-together at St Michael And All Angels Anglican Church Hall for as long as anyone can remember.<\/p>\n

It’s usually held on Shrove Tuesday, ie. the day before Ash Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But this year the big day clashed with the Annual General Meeting for the Probus Club and many of the Pancake Day guests are members.<\/p>\n

The simplest solution was to flip Pancake Day to a week earlier, but still during the traditional Shrovetide period.<\/p>\n

About 60 people gathered in the hall to enjoy morning tea, entertainment by the Wooroolin Ladies Choir, listen to some classic Australian poetry or browse the cake and craft stalls.<\/p>\n

And then there were the pancakes … cooked up freshly in the hall kitchen by volunteers ready to star in a pancake tossing competition!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Christian tradition of Pancake Day dates to the times of the \u201cblack fast\u201d when many common foodstuffs were prohibited to be eaten during Lent.<\/p>\n

To make sure that the banned eggs, butter and milk didn\u2019t go to waste, Christians would make pancakes on the day before Lent started.<\/p>\n

This is also where the French term “Mardi Gras” comes from ie. Fat Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In Europe, Mardi Gras was a party day to eat rich foods long before it became synonymous with the world-famous parades in Rio and Sydney.<\/p>\n
