The british seem to say aspergers in a way which doesn't sound like posterior and hamburger.

I'm not sure about that. There are two ways to say it here - there's Ass Burgers and then Asperger's.

I watched Doc Martin the other day and in one episode I believe there was a guy accusing him of having asperger's.

But he said it oddly...

Hi, Joe!

'Pancake Day'? Is it about pancakes by any chance?


Yes it is. It's originally some Christian festival in which they break some fast or something for Jesus and stuff blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.... But, like Christmas, it has lost all it's original meaning and become a day of fun!

Basically everyone makes and eats flippin' (excuse the pun) loads of pancakes for the sake of it. Usually with all sorts of lovely toppings.

How come you don't know what it is?


My mother reminded me by email that is was Fastnacht Day which is the German version. I don't know why we did it that way. Anyway it's sweet dough deep fried and rolled in confectioner's sugar. The purpose I believe is to get rid of stuff in your pantry before Lent.

(Shrugs) I just simply didn't know about it.

Maybe it's just a British custom? I don't know though. I thought it was a universal Christian festival.


Shrove Tuesday is pretty much universal across the churches, although mostly associated with Catholics, and less so with your more strict Protestant peoples. They call it Fat Tuesday in the USA I think. But different cultures do it differently. Not many countries make pancakes. The whole point is to use up all your store cupboard fats and eggs and suchlike, as you weren't allowed to eat them during Lent, which starteth on the morrow. Anyway, I'll stop going on about it now. :D

Do other people eat pancakes normally in England? I don't, apart from the Findus variety.
