- Shrove is a usual time for weddings in this district.
From Little Christmas to Shrove Tuesday is here called Shrove.
Most weddings take place on Shrove Tuesday.
Shrove Tuesday is also called Pancake night.
Pancakes are made in nearly every house for tea. Rings are sometimes rolled in the pancakes. Whoever gets the ring will be first to be married.
Colcannon is made for supper. This consists of boiled mashed potatoes, onions, pepper and salt and sometimes new milk to moisten it. It is eaten with butter.
