People have been eating Pancakes for over 1000 years!

​

• They were originally a way of using up any leftover 'fatty' items in readiness for the period of Lent

• Would you believe that in the UK we use 22 million eggs MORE on Pancake Day than we do on other days?! That's a cracking 52 million eggs in one day!

• An average person will eat 7300 eggs in their lifetime

• The largest Pancake ever made was 15 metres weighing in at a whopping 3 tonnes!!! 

• In France, it is customary to make a wish when flipping a Pancake!

​

Pancake day can also be a time when we eat a lot of sugar! I am not meaning to be a killjoy but there are a few healthier tweaks we can make to our Pancake Day!
