It's Shrove Tuesday. This is also known as "Pancake Day" in Britain because it marks the day before Lent - when a lot of people give up unhealthy foods - and presents a good opportunity to get rid of a lot of the ingredients used in pancakes.
Shrove Tuesday always falls exactly 47 days before Easter Sunday.
In honour of this holiday, we've rounded up delicious-looking pictures of pancakes and highlighted all the different ways you can eat them. Enjoy.
