This Sunday (22nd Febraury) will see the inaugural Blackheath Pancakealympics, a renaissance of the age-old tradition of pancake racing!! Racing will take place from from 12pm 'til 2.00pm.
Pancakes are truly a global food, with every country having their own take on them. Once upon a time pancakes were found all over the UK in many different shapes and sizes. On Pancake Day itself, every village would hold pancake races that would commence with the ringing of the pancake bell. These traditions have sadly died out. In 2009 it’s about time that pancake racing was reintroduced to the masses, and London Farmers’ Markets will host 12:20pm Pancake Races in Blackheath this coming Sunday.
