Is Fat Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday, "Pancake Day" throughout England or the wider UK? Never heard of it in the U.S. Around here in Michigan it's "PAZKI" day. They're sweetrolls filled with jelly or custard, and for some reason undecipherable to me are pronounced "punch'key". Had a raspberry filled one for breakfast, and I have a lemon filled one on hand for later in the day.
