- On Shrove Tuesday pancakes are made and for this reason that day is called "Pancake Tuesday." There is a joke still played by the old people concerning this. Some person sends another person for the loan of the "pancake siv" (an article which does not exist) to some house. The persons in that house send him to another house and so on until the person has perhaps gone round a district. On Christmas day a piece of a coal is taken out of the fire and left aside to the following Christmas morning and it is used to light the fire on that morning.
