Some of countries held Pancake Day organized or often known as Shrove Tuesday. There may be some who do not understand about Pancake Day and how the history.

Shrove Day of the customs of religious people towards the Christian Christmas to release the past and sin.This name taken from the ritual of shriving. In shriving, a person confesses their sins and receives absolution for them. Church bells were rang early on Shrove Tuesday morning summoning everyone to Confession.

When a person receives absolution for their sins, they are forgiven for them and released from the guilt and pain that they have caused them. Stacks of pancakes were consumed to use up the butter and eggs forbidden during Lent. Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it is the last day before Lent. Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that are not allowed in Lent. In the old days there were many foods that observant Christians would not eat during Lent: foods such as meat and fish, fats, eggs and milky foods. So that no food was wasted, families would have a feast on the shriving Tuesday, and eat up all the foods that would not last the forty days of Lent without going off.

One popular event is a “pancake race” in which each participant carries a pancake in a frying pan. All runners must toss their pancakes as they run and catch them in the frying pan. This event is said to have originated in the town of Olney,England in 1444 when a housewife was still busy frying pancakes to eat before the Lenten fast when she heard the bells of St Peter and St Paul’s Church calling her to the Shriving Service. Eager to get to church, she ran out of her house still holding the frying pan complete with pancake, and still wearing her apron

Okay, pancakes, according to Wikipedia are a type of flatbread prepared, most of the time, from a sweet batter that is cooked on a hot griddle, in frying pan or as still happens in some parts of the world, on flat stones or clay plates set on hot coals or in the fire. They exist in several variations in many different local cuisines. Most pancakes are quick breads, although some are also made using a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Pancakes can be eaten at different times of the day depending on local tradition.

Pancakes are one of the original fast foods. Pancake batter calls for cheap and easy-to-find ingredients—milk, flour, butter or oil, eggs, even just flour and water in some recipes. The true magic of pancakes lies in how such inexpensive simplicity produces such reliable deliciousness. Few things in life deliver so much from so little.

Usually, people add all kinds of sense to create a tasty pancake. For example, by adding sugar, syrup, ice cream, cheese, fruits and others, according to the taste of each person. Just a lil’ information, my favorite pancake is the Blueberry cheese with Vanilla Ice Cream. Yummy!

Here are some reasons to have a breakfast:

· Breakfast is considered an important meal because it breaks the overnight fasting periods and replenishes your supply of glucose. Glucose is your body’s energy source and is broken down and absorbed from the carbohydrates you eat. In the morning, after you have gone without food for as long as 12 hours, your glucose levels drop. When this happens, your body compensates by releasing the glucose that has been stored in your muscle tissue and liver, called glycogen. Once all the energy from the glycogen stored is used up, the body breaks down fatty acids to produce energy. Without carbohydrates, fatty acids are only partially oxidized, which can cause reduced energy levels.

· Studies show that people who regularly eat breakfast, particularly cereal with low fat or fat-free milk, tend to be leaner compared to those who skip the morning meal or eat other options. Also, breakfast eaters are more likely to have long-term success in maintaining a reasonable weight. There is a finding that a cereal and milk breakfast is a habit common to successful weight loss maintainers.

·      Eating a good breakfast will keep you from getting too hungry, which will help prevent you from over eating later in the day. Breakfast eaters are able to better resist fatty and high caloric foods throughout the day. If you skip breakfast, you will tend to nibble on snacks during the mid-morning and turn to coffee for an energy boost.
