HISTORY OF NATIONAL PANCAKE DAY PAINT COLORS
Also known as Johnnycakes, griddle cakes or hotcakes, this batter-made breakfast food dates back thousands of years. In fact, it may be the oldest breakfast food in history, spanning as far back as the Stone Age. It was even found in the stomach of Otzi the Iceman, who was estimated to have lived 5,300 years ago.
The word ‘pancake’ first appeared in English in the 15th century however, Ancient Greeks and Romans made what were called Alita Dolcia or “another sweet” with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk. Greek Poets, Cratinus and Magnes wrote about them in their poetry and Shakespeare mentions them in his famous plays. During the English Renaissance, pancakes were flavored with spices, rosewater, sherry, and apples. The practice of pouring batter in a pan and frying it is common in nearly every culture around the world.
In the UK, they’ve celebrated Shrove Tuesday since 1100 A.D. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, also referred to in other places as Fat Tuesday. This very popular Feast Day is observed through participating in confession, finalizing a lenten sacrifice, as well as consuming pancakes and other sweets.
