Take me back to Mumbai's coconut-flavoured Pancake Tuesday (SBS)

The Catholic community in Mumbai makes these coconut-filled pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. By. Alison Rodericks. 17 Feb 2023 - 8:46 PM ...

- To assemble the coconut pancakes, heat a 20 cm non-stick frying pan on low heat for a couple of minutes. Easy and quick to make, the pancake is great as an appetiser or side dish in a bigger banquet. - Remove the lid and let the crepes cook for another minute. - Pour ¼ cup batter into the frying pan and swirl to coat the base. When that pancake craving hits, but the will to make a stack of individual pancakes isn't quite there, try this novel giant pancake. Tummy rumbling, I'd pop into the kitchen where my curiosity (and belly) would be rewarded with a single delicious pancake – a "taste test", if you will, before I was packed off to school. A mountain of fluffy white grated coconut would rise higher and higher, ready for the week ahead. With a firm whack of his koita (chopper), Ramzan would crack open the hard brown shell in half, deftly catching the sweet coconut water in a glass for me to drink. I'd watch mesmerised as they rhythmically ran the inside of this coconut against the razor-sharp edge of a morli (coconut scraper). And the best way to do this was to make pancakes, of course. This filling is spooned onto the crepe, and then rolled up like a spring roll or a mango pancake. The focus on pancakes is believed to have arisen from the need to finish the fat, eggs and milk in the home before Lent began.

Shrove Tuesday is this week — which means tomorrow is pancake ... (ABC News)

Tuesday marks the beginning of Easter celebrations for followers of the Christian faith. It's also an excuse to fire up the fry pan.

Followers saw it as a day to use up all their fats and eggs, with pancakes being a good way to use them up — so the pancake-eating is more of a cultural tradition. It's a multi-day religious event where Christians retell the story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Because the restrictions begin on Ash Wednesday, the day before is seen as the last day of merriment and excess. It's the day before followers of the Christian faith observe Lent, which is the period before Easter. Here's a basic breakdown of the tradition and the religious festivities behind it. That might have something to do with a day some followers of the Christian faith refer to as Shrove Tuesday.

The pagan roots of Pancake Day (Sky HISTORY)

Scientists believe the first pancakes were made approximately 30000 years ago.

Instead of representing the sun, the pancake became the perfect food on which to gorge and overindulge before Lent. Symbolism was an important part of ancient paganism and this is where the pancake reappears. The charcoal and wheat combo might suggest he consumed the food in the form of a pancake cooked over a fire. The principles of the day are the same, an opportunity to eat plenty of fatty foods before making sacrifices for Lent. In France and other parts of the world, Pancake Day is known as Mardi Gras, which translates as 'Fat Tuesday'. Just like many of our other Christian-themed annual holidays and celebrations, the roots of Pancake Day lie in pre-Christian pagan times.

By the middle of the 18th century, officially sanctioned Shrovetide ball games were mostly confined to smaller market towns and villages, which is where some live on to this day. Participation and patronage of the game These harsh consequences reflect the worth of Shrove Tuesday football to these communities. On Shrove Tuesday 1373, for example, skinners (who skins animals) and tailors played in the streets of London. Craftsmen and guilds played key roles as participants and providers of the ball(s). Shop windows are [boarded up and businesses are closed](https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/rules-ashbourne-royal-shrovetide-players-8151777) for the day as whole towns take to the streets to join in the annual Shrovetide football game. Under the mayor’s supervision, the Drapers tossed up the balls (which doubled as prizes) for the craftsmen and crowd to play from the common field to the city’s Common Hall. Local governments would gather the “wedding ball” dues, hire drummers and pipers to pump up the crowds, or pay for the footballs directly. [football often fell foul](https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.3138/9781442654044-013/html?lang=en) of authority and was banned outright. These were part of a broader folk tradition, where newly married couples owed a “bride ball” or “ball money” to their community. Medieval royal prohibitions called it “vain, unthrifty and idle”, while [Puritans deemed it](https://theconversation.com/bites-brawls-and-severed-heads-footballs-history-of-violence-28429) “a bloody and murdering practise”. Celebrated in many countries around the world, for Christians, Shrove Tuesday marks the last day, or the feast day before Lent - the 40 days leading up to Easter.

And this is why they were called "hot breads" because there was served fresh from the oven." One of these was vastlakuklid — although there are quite a few differences between the buns of the past and the present. Bender says this may have been because it was easier for them to be mass-produced. Although in recent years they have been becoming more extravagant again. This new filling was put back into the little bread, covered and put back into the oven. In what would become the Baltic states, the Baltic Germans were very influential, Bender said, as Estonians worked for them.

The day preceding Ash Wednesday is not only about eating a huge stack of Last week, Christians in Poland and the Polish diaspora It arrives the day before Ash Wednesday, which officially marks the period of Lent in the liturgical calendar. Fasting is typical in Lent and some religious observers refrain from indulgence, e.g., sweet treats, throughout the period. It is observed during the 40 days leading up to Easter. But this can distance the holiday from its origins.
