In order to keep to a Lent fast, people would use up the last of their eggs and fats on Shrove Tuesday, and pancakes were the perfect way to do this. Pancakes have been a popular dish for centuries, and recipes have been found in cookery books from as long ago as the 1430s. Now that Pancake Day 2021 is upon us, you can look forward to continuing this long-lasting tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/history_of_pancake_day.jpg\" alt=\"The history of Pancake Day dates back to the Anglo Saxons\" class=\"wp-image-5475 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/history_of_pancake_day.jpg 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/history_of_pancake_day-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/history_of_pancake_day-337x190.jpg 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Pieter_Aertsen_017.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pieter Aertsen \/ Public domain (opens in a new tab)\">Pieter Aertsen \/ Public domain<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Race into Shrove Tuesday 2021 with a pancake race <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One popular tradition in the UK for Pancake Day is the annual Pancake Race. One town that is particularly well-known for this is the idyllic market town of Olney, Buckinghamshire. Market towns across the UK are well known for their quirky local traditions, and Olney is no different. While there are several different accounts as to <a aria-label=\"how this annul race started (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/olneypancakerace.org\/pancake-race-history\/\" target=\"_blank\">how this annual race started<\/a>, it is generally accepted that it started as early as the mid-15th century, and after a brief pause during the Second World War, it was revived in 1948. The race has 25 participants, all women from the town aged 18 and over. Participants line up on Shrove Tuesday wearing a skirt, an apron, and cover their heads. They then run just over 400 yards with their pancake in a pan, and they must flip the pancake at the start and finish line. The whole town usually turns up for this annual tradition, a classic example of a market town&#8217;s more unusual customs! What better way is there to celebrate Pancake Tuesday 2021 than with this odd custom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/olney_pancake_race.jpg\" alt=\"Check out the Olney Pancake Race on Shrove Tuesday 2020\" class=\"wp-image-5476 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/olney_pancake_race.jpg 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/olney_pancake_race-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/olney_pancake_race-337x190.jpg 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rssupport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Robin Myerscough (opens in a new tab)\">Robin Myerscough<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kick-off Pancake Day 2021 with a game of Shrovetide football<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashbourne, Derbyshire, is a town with an unusual tradition.

On Shrove Tuesday, head into town, and at noon, the Pancake Bell will be rung, and everyone heads to the promenade overlooking the beach where a series of long ropes are set up. Each rope will have anything up to 10 people skipping over it. The origins of this unusual Shrove Tuesday custom are not all that clear, but it could date back to the middle ages when skipping was used as a magical game, associated with the scattering and sowing of seeds. It&#8217;s not even known how long exactly the tradition has been going on for in the town, but it&#8217;s been a mainstay for at least 200 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/scarborough.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Scarborough on Shrove Tuesday\" class=\"wp-image-5479 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/scarborough.jpg 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/scarborough-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/scarborough-337x190.jpg 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shrove Tuesday, 2021, is upon us; February 16th, marks the start of Lent and the countdown to the Easter holidays have now begun.
