What did you have on your pancakes and what will you be giving up for Lent?

Just sugar and lemon . And I was thinking of giving up SEX for lent then realised that I already had ?

Chocolate and crisps same as every other year

I had maple butter and lemon DH had lemon and sugar.
I’m giving up watching the news!

Sugar and orange juice!!
Nothing!

Forgot to make them, so will do so today and it will be lemon and sugar. I don't forgo anything for Lent as I don't see how it benefits anyone, I am not a believer, and life is too short.

I am giving up chocolate, which will also help me to lose a few pounds too hopefully.

We do not eat pancakes before Lent. The Danish tradition is sticky buns on the Monday before Ash Wednesday.

I am not giving up anything for Lent - there would be no point as we neither drink alcohol or eat sweet things.

I shall however be saying the Stations of the Cross on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Didn't have pancakes. Not giving anything up, I'm not religious

Lemon juice and sugar. We used to give up chocolate or alcohol for Lent, not for religious reasons, just as an exercise in self-discipline. Since DH had a health scare followed by 2 years of covid and now Ukraine, we reckon that life (which could end or become a lot less comfortable at any minute) is too short for giving up either.

Well we love pancakes and as yesterday was my birthday l made some, sugar and lemon for us. I have to say l don’t actually remember March Ist being Shrove Tuesday before so was slightly surprised!

Lemon and sugar for me.
Our church is encouraging a 'carbon fast' so I will be trying to use the car less, switch off electrics etc.

The only way to have them! with sugar, syrup and lemon juice. As for giving up - I'm giving up giving up - it never works for me.

No pancakes,
I'm being very good and giving up wine for lent and going to eat healthier.

I made some American pancakes this year. We enjoyed them with banana, blueberries & maple syrup ?

Trying a bit of self denial here, and will try not to play Solitaire on tablet or anywhere else.

I love pancakes! I'm coeliac but luckily it's easy to make gf pancakes. Lemon and sugar for us.

Lemon and sugar on gluten free pancakes.
I stocked up our freezer and larder and , other than bills, have given up spending any money for lent, other than an absolute emergency

We don't have them as hubby doesn't like thrm. I used to enjoy them with lemon juice and sugar.

We're not religious so not giving up anything.

Never liked pancakes, even as a youngster.
We're doing a dry March. We do odd months here and there - usually to lose a few pounds.

Not giving up anything.
What other than fresh lemon juice squeezed over a caster sugar covered pancake on pancakes I have made myself not a 'ready made' off a supermarket shelf.Mmmmmm.

Golden syrup for me, lovely and sticky. On my own so licked the plate (don’t tell anyone)! Giving up procrastinating over getting the house cleared to sell.

Just lemon and sugar. Can’t give up anything for Lent as I’m already frugal enough and anyway not religious.

Lentil pancakes with masala potatoes, chutney and ve yoghurt. Yum and filling. Dogs had traditional pancakes.

No pancakes DH not to good , I gave alcohol for lent in 2000 have not reached Easter Sunday and don't intend to. One one day at a time.

One thing I feel like giving up for Lent is my faith in humanity as I view the horror of the war in Ukraine. But I won’t as I do have a little faith that truth, goodness and peace will win through … eventually. I thought about simply giving up on my Russian language lessons too, but again, I won’t, as some magnificent and universal literature has been written in that tormented country. Don’t like pancakes and my plans to have blini, smetana and smoked salmon for breakfast as I did when I visited Russia some years ago left a nasty taste in my mouth somehow, so I didn’t bother. My prayers are with those brave souls in Ukraine and with those on BOTH sides who fear for their menfolk in this benighted and misguided war.
