It is estimated Brits eat around 117 million pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.
And luckily for us, Aldi’s middle aisle this weekend will have us equipped with everything we need to cook up a storm.
The discount supermarket, as part of its bi-weekly Specialbuys deals, is dropping everything from frying pans and measuring jugs to pancake shakers and shapers on Sunday.
The products are designed by its in-house cookware brand, Crofton.

Shrove Tuesday is Christian festival that marks the beginning of Lent.
Lent is the 40-day period of fasting that is meant to remind us of Jesus' time being tempted by the devil in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights before his death.

The celebration dates as far back as 1000 AD.
