It's Carnevale, a festival that I've always felt that we British celebrated in a particularly boring fashion; your bloggist has never been a fan of pancakes. Judging by the look of this no-expense-spared video things aren't any better in the Netherlands:
I don't mind the odd pancake on Shrove Tuesday - not that I have ever given much up for Lent - but the pancakes are traditional - my wife actually made a small batch yesterday evening (she is more aware of such festivals than I.....)
