For people who don't know Pancake Day or sometimes "Shrove Tuesday" is an event celebrated in the UK, Canada, Australia and Ireland. It is a day where people celebrate making and eating pancakes!
Or historically, so that the last of the fatty and rich foods could be used up before Lent. I live in the UK but if IIRC correctly, in the United States this day is sometimes called "Fat Tuesday" or "Mardi Gras".

Mardi Gras is the normal term here, occasionally Fat Tuesday. New Orleans loves Mardi Gras, but here we don't really celebrate it. The most I've done for it is wear some plastic Mardi Gras beads, which apparently is traditional.
