1. Nope.

2. No. I do not know what that is.

3. I live everyday like it’s pancake day.

4. Yes, as an Episcopalian I will celebrate Shrove Tuesday as I have every year since my infancy.

   However, since we don’t have a state religion, this observance is generally limited to those from a few specific religious traditions.

5. No, but I’ll be celebrating taco Tuesday.

6. I just watched Laurence from Lost in the Pond. He has his wife on for them to make pancakes for pancake day!

7. This was asked yesterday, but it’s more well known as Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras. Every day can be pancake day here

8. It’s paczki day, actually.

9. I celebrate Orthodox Pancake Day, which taxes place approximately a week from today.

10. Not as such. I’m not at home and its taco tuesday anyway.

    I’m feeling some ahi.

14. WTF is pancake day?

15. It’s Mardi Gras

16. In the US we celebrate pancake tuesday next week- IHOP gives out free pancakes every year in the US.

17. Nope. The only pancake day I celebrate is when IHOP gives away free shortstacks, and that is next week.

18. This was asked 12 hours ago.

19. As a radical militant of the French Toast Party…I will never recognize such heresy

20. We call it Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras. It’s the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, when the [Lenten](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent) season begins. Lent is the 40 days leading up to Easter. It’s the same as your Pancake Day.

21. I much prefer Waffle Wednesday

22. every day is pancake day

23. Mardi Gras here in New Orleans.

24. I am now lol I just texted my bf and told him

25. Probably not.

26. No, we do Fastnacht in my family, which means I get to have a doughnut for desert.

    Every Saturday morning is pancake day for us, and because we live in Vermont, that means we eat it with maple syrup.

27. Nope. Today is just an ordinary day for me

28. I am not catholic so do not celebrate Mardi Gras or Lent. As such I do not typically participate in the pre-fast celebratory feast meals associated with Mardi Gras such as Shrove Tuesday Pancakes, Fat Tuesday Paczki, Mardi Gras King Cake, etc. Pancakes are also a standard breakfast option and not a once a year special thing.

29. Pancake day isn’t really a thing in the US.

30. It’s Mardi Gras bruh

31. Probably not with pancakes, but yes. At the very least I’m dressed for the occasion.

32. Laurence Brown JUST released a video about this:

33. Every day is pancake day

34. I make pancakes every Sunday. Every Sunday is pancake day. Today was not pancake day. Today was scrambled eggs day.

35. I ate a chocolate almond croissant for breakfast. Does that count?

    Seems a decent amount of Fat for this Tuesday

36. No. I’m making multiple pasta dishes, sides and desserts for us to feast on to celebrate the start of Lent.

37. Here, we celebrate Mardi Gras on Shrove Tuesday and say, “Laissez les bons temps rouler!” Mardi Gras comes with its own set of foods, traditions, and celebrations. The biggest one is in New Orleans where it’s as fantastical as Brazilian carnival. People decorate their houses, wear elaborate costumes, and there’s a parade with fancy floats throwing beads into the crowds. [The floats get sophisticated](https://youtu.be/vhxsX8i_G0k). The party goes til dawn. Really can’t describe how crazy this celebration is. You just have to google “New Orleans Mardi Gras”
