Mmmm….Doughnuts….

Posted by Jerry on Feb. 24, 2009

In England, Shrove Tuesday is the day to eat pancakes. (Unless you’re Anglo-Catholic apparently. The local parish is having crepes, not pancakes. Sounds very Catholic and not so Anglo to me.) On the Continent, Fastnacht, Mardi Gras, Carnevale, etc. is the day to eat fried dough. Who, I ask you, has chosen the better part?

I plump (literally I fear) for the Continent and started off the day frying up Krapfen, Shenkli, and “Naked Ladies with Their Legs Crossed“. I remain skeptical of the fried cookie (the Shenkli were not that great), but the Naked Ladies are–as I guess one should expect naked ladies to be–winners.

    In England, when they say pancakes they generally mean crepes - or at least something very crepe-like.
