Kareni Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Given the mentions of Pancake Tuesday and such, this column may be of interest. I'll admit that I had never heard of Semlor. ~ RedHeadedGirl’s Historical Kitchen: Semlor "This past week was Shrove Tuesday and the beginning of Lent. Lent, especially in the Middle Ages if you were Catholic, involved a lot of rules and fasting when it comes to food. Basically, you were supposed to not eat any animal meat or animal products from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, except on Sundays. (Fish did not count as “animal†and sometimes there were some interesting logical contortions to classify something as a fish: beaver, for example, has a scaly tail so OBVIOUSLY it was a fish. OBVIOUSLY.) Since it is a fast, you’re not supposed to really enjoy the food you are allowed to eat, nor have that much of it...."
