Do you celebrate pancake day in the Philippines?
Do you celebrate pancake day in the Philippines?
NOPE but we love pancakes too hehehe.... for us here in PINAS we have the most popular HOT PANDESAL though hehehe....
Ah. My wife was talking about Pandesal, longingly, the other day.....I recall googling it (them). She started by talking about flavoured bread and I sort of said, what do you mean, as in chocolate bread or strawberry bread? And she ended up talking about Pandesal.
I mentioned Pancake Day and Shrove Tuesday to her and she seems to know of it but never really celebrated it.

But Ash Wednesday is quite a big deal in the Philippines where people go to church and get their foreheads marked with ash
Ah. I think the pancakes interest me more but then maybe I am drifting away from the true meaning of it all...
I just checked with my other half and she said they do the ash thing on the forehead in schools etc.Not really

Phil pancakes are US style, not the traditional UK ones which have more flavour

Plastic bottles of instant pancake mix and lemon juice lined up here for tonight
We would normally say simply 40 days. If one goes for a 10 day holiday the nights are included, we dont say we went for 10 days and 10 nights....yes a bit long winded.Phil pancakes are US style, not the traditional UK ones which have more flavour

I have to confess I like the American way of eating pancakes and amongst others enjoy them with butter and maple syrup.
No. In fact, I have never been "ashed" as such as I was always in school during Ash Wednesday.
This is all bit confusing as my wife's nickname is Ash.No
As the fast doesn't include Sunday's it's actually 35 days

I totally mucked it up this year! No pancakes!
Even when I was a grotty student, I used to make sure that we had pancakes on pancake day. It's the law! But with my wife on a night shift and me late home from work, I didn't get chance to cook them.
I guess we'll have them at the weekend, but it won't be quite the same....
woohoo! like it that way too! sometimes with peaches
