Pancake Day: The best in London, from Where The Pancakes Are to Fuwa Fuwa
Pancakes aren't just for Pancake Day— why confine the joy of a bacon-laden stack of carbs or a syrup-drizzled crêpe to just 24 hours a year? — but Shrove Tuesday does make for a perfect excuse to indulge. This year, it falls on February 13.
The dish is one of the world’s oldest: the Ancient Greeks are said to have eaten them (maple syrup not so much) with ‘pancakes’ referenced in poems from the time. The word itself is decidedly more modern, but still fairly long in the tooth, having been used since the 15th century.
History aside, if your pancake-tossing skills fall a little flat — is that one from, fancy a fix, or an all-day feast, there are pancakes of all kinds across town.
