[...] Here’s all I have ever written about celebrating Shrove Tuesday. Yep, that’s it. So, every year we have a good ol’ Scots Bannock Night on Shrove Tuesday. It’s not a service: it’s a pancake supper. One might even call it a (gasp!) party. We eat Scottish Drop Bannocks (made from oats) and good ol’ Louisiana King Cake (because we live in Louisiana, and that’s what we do in Louisiana). Would John Knox approve? I feel certain that, as a Scotsman, Knox ate more than his share of oat bannocks in his day. No, I don’t guess he didn’t get to try King Cake, but I’m sure if he did he’d love it. That’s how we “celebrate” Shrove Tuesday. We have a big supper at the church with bannocks and bangers (sausages), milk, orange juice, sweet tea, and coffee, and we have King Cakes (at least two different kinds) for dessert. Why? Because it’s fun, that’s why. [...]
