I wished for tickyboxes on the first question, because ideally I have both: savory English pancakes for the meal and sweet American pancakes for dessert. :)

It won't be either this year, there's no flour and the shopping doesn't arrive until Friday. Ah well!

While I did "give up" (more like "wasn't allowed candy," I didn't get a choice about what I gave up) stuff for Lent as a Catholic child, I didn't do that any more by the time I started celebrating Pancake Day, which I didn't know about until I moved here.
