Happy Shrove Tuesday! Poll: Who Makes the Best Pancakes?
Shrove Tuesday, a.k.a. Pancake Day, is celebrated in English-speaking countries around the world before the start of Lent.
What did the English do to rid their kitchens of flour, sugar, fat and eggs before the start of Lent? They made pancakes, of course.
The Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is known as Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day in many English-speaking countries around the world.
Where Shrove Tuesday is practiced, Christians gorge on pancakes before Lent begins and it's time to restrict diets of pleasurable foods until Easter Sunday.
Crown the King of Flapjacks below. Will the Reo take top honors? Is Perkins the Prince of Pancakes? We want to hear about your favorites. If you don't see your favorite in the poll, share it in the comments. Plus, tell us what you plan to give up for Lent!

She came to take our order and as she walked away i thought i saw blood across her knickles so i asked my husband if he saw that. He said he didnt notice anything and said there was no possible way it could be that and it was probably jam. I figured he must be right. She came back and put out coffee down and i picked my cup up and my hand slipped on the handle. Sure enough there was blood all over the side of the cup. I freaked and ran to the bathroom and scrubbed my hands while my husband confronted the manager who was trying to quiet him down and get him outside so the other. Customers didnt hear. Meanwhile some other guy maybe the host was rubbing the waitresses back consoling her telling her not to feel bad be because didnt know. You had to see her hand she had blood smeared across her knuckles, how could she not know? My hubby was urging
ME to report
