It's Pancake Day today so to celebrate (as well as eating pancakes) I thought I'd share some fun facts about the day..

πŸ‹In the UK, around 52 million eggs are eaten each pancake day

πŸ‹ The world's biggest pancake was made in Rochdale in 1994. it was over 15 metres wide and weighed three tonnes! This is as much as an adult rhinoceros

πŸ‹Mardi Gras celebrations are held all over the world on Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras means 'Fat Tuesday' in French

πŸ‹In France, it is tradition to make a wish while you toss your pancake!

What’s your favourite pancake topping? I like the classic lemon and sugar myselfπŸ΄πŸ˜‹

    Ah, I missed it! I love pancakes and those ones look great Mary_Scope.

    I'd say my favourite topping is either lemon and sugar or honey.
