Also known in France as Fat Tuesady. Today we eat - tomorow we fast. ..In England Shrove Tuesday is called Pancake Day. In the news that I saw today, Prince Wiliam and Catherine were celebrating Shrove Tuesday in North Ireland tossing pankcakes with children. And it's a big day in Rio and in New Orleans it is a Mardi Gras celebration. In Hawaii it is Malasada Day.... A tradition in Hawaii brought by the Portuguese Catholics from Madeira and the Azores So my genealogist friends - eat and be merry today, for tomorrow we fast.
