Shrove Tuesday
Shrove Tuesday again saw the Men’s Club cooking sausages and pancakes at the Parish Centre - and between 60 and 70 people attended, enjoying the feast and staying afterwards to enjoy an evening of fellowship. We were entertained by a choir consisting of Andre, Diane, Fay, Graham and Simon singing the following hymn in praise of the humble pancake - rumoured to be written by The Rev. H. O’Driscoll. Delicious, delectable, easy to make the regular pancake takes moments to bake. In texture and taste it has instant appeal, Just eat half a dozen and see how you feel! Some foods we all cherish, prime beef that we roast, And some love some jam on their hot buttered toast, Some strange folk like oysters, and some caviar But the plain simple pancake is better by far. Like us, there are pancakes that put on some weight; We then call them crumpets and fill up our plate. If a pancake is slim and is rolled into shape, We fill it with calories and call it a crepe! No when you serve pancakes to some special guest With pure maple syrup, its quite at its best. But even more scrumptious, if you have the nerve, Take butter, and sausages, and bacon - and serve! Universal, ecumenical, the pancake unites. It never provokes theological fights. The church that serves pancakes, we can guarantee, From schisms and heresies will always be free! No pancakes in history have played a great part, they fill up the stomach and gladden the heart. Great armies have marched and great victories won On pancakes and sausages, served up by the ton! Sing praise then for pancakes, against all the odds, Their humble ingredients are food for the gods. We all love a pancake, and though we’re aware They make us quite fat - but we don’t really care! As a footnote, the profit from this event is shared between the ACW (who do the shopping, etc) and the Men’s Club (who do the cooking) - and the money raised is used for various outreach projects. Thank you to everyone involved for another successful family event.
