Fat Mars don't go away...
Those who know the difference between La Chandeleur and Mardi Gras raise your hands…two occasions to eat pancakes but not for the same reasons. La Chandeleur, which has already allowed you to take out the small round frying pan; is a feast on a fixed date, which closes the 40 days after Christmas, when Jesus was presented in the Temple. Mardi Gras on its side is not connected to Christmas, but to Easter arriving at the end of the seven fat days. This week, where everything is permitted, ends on the eve of Ash Wednesday when it was necessary to finish all that was good and fat before starting, the forty days of fasting – period of Lent – which precedes Easter… You are informed and ready to cook pancakes, and many other sweet treats.
