To celebrate it, my mother always made us pancakes for dinner as a special treat \u2013 with fruit and maple syrup. They were so good. I always wondered why pancakes were special and found out that they were a tradition in many European countries because eggs, sugar and fat were often forbidden during Lent, so they were used up before Lent started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samantha has a similar tradition for Pancake Tuesday.
