Stop the presses !
Tesco has reported that Instead of combining eggs, milk, flour and butter, its shoppers have been choosing quicker solutions today.
Tesco spokesman Trevor Datson said: “For centuries Brits prided themselves with their pancake-tossing abilities on Shrove Tuesday and in every town and village there would be a greatly heralded pancake race.
"However, the great tradition of pancake making and tossing soon looks like being consigned to history as nowadays society tries to make everything simpler.
"Judging by sales more and more people now rather just heat up a ready made pancake rather than risk making a mess in the kitchen."
Over the past five years the number of Brits "cheating" on Shrove Tuesday has doubled - this year alone an estimated 15m readymade pancakes or pancake mixes are expected to be sold across all retailers.
