Pancake Day in the UK

Pancake Day is the day before Lent¹. It takes place forty days before Easter. It's always on Tuesday. Naturally, people eat pancakes on this day. In Britain they like eating pancakes which are made from eggs, flour and milk — just like in Russia — but they are traditionally eaten with lemon juice and sugar.

There is also another tradition. On this day there are pancake races² in some British towns. Each runner has a pan and a pancake. The runners must throw the pancake into the air and catch it with the pan. Of course, if they can't catch it, they are out of the race.

The oldest and most famous pancake race is held at Olney ['ounı]. They say in 1445 a woman of Olney heard the church bell while she was making pancakes. She ran to the church in her apron, still holding her frying pan. Just then the tradition began.

Nowadays women taking part in Olney pancake race wear an apron, a hat or a scarf. They must throw their pancake in the frying pan at least three times during the race. The first woman who arrives at the church is a winner. She is then traditionally kissed by the bell ringer.
