17 pancake jokes that will make your day even batter
Today – at the time of writing – is Shrove Tuesday, more commonly known as Pancake Tuesday or Mardi Gras.
It was, traditionally, the day on which Christians used up their rich foods before the start of Lent, the following day, but in the secular world has become the day when Nutella and Jif Lemon shareholders book their flight to Antigua on the profits. Covid permitting.
There’s always that pressure to flip the pancakes, though few do it with as much panache as the wonderful Olaf Falafel.

Tomorrow is #PancakeDay.
On this day 1,998 years ago, Jesus went into the desert for 40 days and nights with only some milk, flour, eggs, lemon juice, icing sugar, butter, melted chocolate and a modest portable gas oven with a heavy based frying pan.
Praise be to you #Jesus 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/EYJ6MaoHxA

Annual reminder that if you don't make a pancake joke early enough on #PancakeDay, by the time you do all that's left are the crêpe ones which fall flat, you tossers.
