[Sundae]

We used to have the crepe-style pancakes every year as dessert (called "afters" in my house). We had various fillings - depending on funds I assume. Sugar and lemon juice were the staples, ice cream, warmed up Golden Syrup and/ or hundreds & thousands.

My Dad usually ate them with jam, but then he used to eat chocolate cake with jam too. And leftover yorkshire puddings. And ice cream. He liked jam.

Coming from a Catholic family we really did celebrate on Shrove Tuesday. We children usually gave up sweets & chocolate, so were allowed to eat them on pancake day, which was a real treat as we only had them at weekends anyway. Mum & Dad often gave up alcohol (still do in fact) so probably put away a fair amount after we went to bed.

I gave up sugar in my tea one year - haven't had it since.
