i searched on google and found wikipedia telling me this...
In Canada,[4] the United Kingdom,[5] Ireland,[6] and Australia,[7] pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as "Pancake Day" and, particularly in Ireland, as "Pancake Tuesday". (Shrove Tuesday is better known in the United States, France and other countries as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday.) Historically, pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday so that the last of the fatty and rich foods could be used up before Lent.
It is traditional to turn pancakes over by tossing them in the air using the pan and without using any other implements

I absolutely love pancakes, especially when I make them. I tend not to make them myself on Pancake Day though, as I have pancakes as often as I can, and I just find I cant be bothered then.
Although, I'm not that good at making them, but that is probably the funnest part - especially the flipping...
