Subject: RE: BS: Shrove Tuesday/ Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras
In France we generally have doughnuts called "bugnes" (doughnuts), "merveilles" (wonders), "oreillettes" (little ears) or some other names depending on the area. In a town nearby they have special lemon-flavored very thin waffles. Pancakes are rather eaten on Candlemas (Feb. 2nd).
