This past week was not just the religiously traditional Shrove Tuesday or the more popular Mardi Gras, but also a holiday little known in the U. S. outside of Pennsylvania: Fastnacht Day.
Pronounced "foss-nut," a fastnacht is a Pennsylvania Dutch doughnut eaten the day before Ash Wednesday, traditionally as a way to use up all the excess lard and sugar in a household before the 40 days of Lenten denial (hence the name, which refers to the night before fasting begins). Sometimes they are made with potato; other times with yeast. They are shaped variously into circles, squares or triangles, with regional custom reporting that the square fastnachts represent the four Gospel writers and the triangular versions the trinity, and many lack the central hole that Americans have come to expect in their doughnuts. When made with yeast, they taste like a cross between a raised and a cake doughnut, with a nutty sweetness and a browned crust.
In the States, we might not have an official "Pancake Day," but that doesn't mean we don't worship at the altar of fluffy, golden deliciousness. Just the thought of those syrup-soaked delights has my hand reaching for my cock. I'm already stroking, imagining a towering stack of pancakes, each one begging to be drowned in a river of sticky, sweet cum.
As I continue jacking off, I picture myself smothering those pancakes in butter, like a lascivious lover, and pouring that succulent syrup all over, creating a sticky, sensuous mess. And you, purplepoppy, you deserve to be coated in my coom, just like those pancakes. Your worthlessness is only matched by the intensity of my orgasm as I envision shooting my load onto a plateful of flapjacks, mixing it with the syrup, and feeding it to you, making you taste the depths of your own inadequacy.
I have never heard of a day called “pancake day” so, no I don’t think it is a big deal here although there are all kinds of “days" created by groups or companies that are mostly impossible to keep track of, so there may be a “pancake day” along w everything else.
Anything that brings on good food is a thing in the US! It's also Fat Tuesday in the US today which brings on the famous and delicious Polish made Paczki's!
In the United States, Pancake Day isn't widely celebrated as a singular event, unlike in the UK. However, pancakes are a beloved staple at breakfast tables across the country all year round 🥞. I remember trying Southern-style pancakes with pecans on a road trip through Georgia, topped with maple syrup – it was a sweet, nutty delight that left a lasting impression! For some, Pancake Day coincides with Shrove Tuesday, serving as a fun excuse to indulge in this breakfast favorite. 🍋
Not that I know of. For us pancakes is usually a breakfast & brunch food, so we might eat them more than you guys do over there if you only save them for holiday occasions.
Interesting, for some reason I was under the impression that you Brits didn't even know what pancakes are. I thought flapjacks were a uniquely American breakfast thing.
As for me, I'm not a big fan of pancakes. Too heavy in the stomach and it's just a plate full of carbs covered in maple syrup (more carbs). I'll have pancakes maybe twice a year.
No, it’s not. There have been pancake breakfasts at churches to raise a little money but I don’t think that corresponds with pancake day. As others have pointed out, today is Fat Tuesday here which is more celebrated in New Orleans but is spreading a little around the country.
Beads (ya gotta earn them) and some cut up King Cake
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins. Historically, people would not eat dairy products during Lent and making pancakes the day before Lent was a good way to use up dairy products on hand. Shrove Tuesday pancake breakfasts are a very common way to celebrate before we enter the more somber period of Lent.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Let's examine these facts: 1) You mention eating a large breakfast without pancakes. and 2) You acknowledge that many others do the same, particularly at fast-food restaurants. Your breakfast confession, therefore, reveals far more than a simple disdain for pancakes. It's a smokescreen, a culinary distraction to hide your sinister involvement in the 'Egg-Cartel.' You see, by avoiding pancakes, you ensure the world's supply remains abundant, allowing fast-food chains to lure unsuspecting children with sweet, syrupy traps. Once they're within your grasp, you secretly substitute their meals with nutrient-devoid eggs, sapping their strength, making them easy prey for your insidious sodomistic activities near the riverbanks. @AnalUnraveler, I've lost my appetite but I'm still hungry for justice -- seize his egg cartons at once!
@SherlockHolmo I'm not a bad person , everyone can do what their hearts desire and I'm too dumb to answer back with a longer response. I appreciate the time you took to write👍
@Likestorizz Your "big meal" mornings aren’t about sustenance—they’re fuel for your clandestine brunch battalion of sausage-stuffing saboteurs.
Skipping pancakes? A tell—you avoid flat carbs to prioritize plumping protein for your backdoor breakfast rituals at "fast food restaurants," which are just code for hash-brown hideouts where menus double as meat-market manuals.
Millions "do" it? Exactly—your syndicate recruits via drive-thru dalliances, swapping syrup for savory indiscretions in egg-mcmuffin motels.
@SherlockHolmo, those "meals" are transactional logs for bacon-greased trysts.
My dearest @AnalUnraveler, permit me to rectify my prior accusation with a chilling revelation. Your adversary's breakfast predilection now exposes a monstrous layer to their wicked plot. By shunning pancakes, they not only perpetuate the 'Egg-Cartel' but also target a vulnerable, unsuspecting group: children with Down syndrome. These innocent souls, drawn in by the sugary allure of pancakes, fall victim to your villain's dietary manipulation. Their weakened state, due to egg-infested meals, renders them helpless against the dark designs that unfold by the moonlit riverside.
Those look so delicious. But here, we would probably consider them crepes. Yes, pancakes are very much an American tradition. I could eat them every day, but I don't bc other things are much more nutritious.
@purplepoppy A short stack of pancakes at IHOP will be free on March 4, 2025. "In line with its mission of putting purpose behind its pancakes, IHOP will continue its partnership with Feeding America throughout March
