- Shrove TuesdayFrom Eithne Conway who got it from her mother. Some people call Shrove Tuesday Pancake night because we make pancakes.
Most people make them very thick. Long ago people used to play a trick on someone. This is the way they uses to play it. They used to say to anyone that would come in "Go to such a house for the pancake sieve. When he'd go to that house they'd tell him to go to another house and so on. They would make him go around until he would come to the house he was in first. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
