We had pancakes and bacon for dinner Sunday night.
Call it Butter Sunday and you're in good with the Russians.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
In re collops, isn't that the same root as scallopine? Like, veal scallopine is little circles of veal, cooked nicely. Probably also the same root word that gives us scallop, which is a small, coincidentally circular, bite of meat from out of a particular kind of shellfish.
(AFAIK scallops, like oysters, used to be poor people's food, until suddenly they weren't. I don't think veal was ever poor people's food, but bacon in tiny tiny portions, eaten possibly once a month or once a year, certainly was.)

Art Crawl!!!
We had paczkis at work yesterday. I had pancakes over the weekend. . . but perhaps I'll make some for supper tonight and since I am not actually Catholic - I can eat them later on too.

Collop Monday? What the hell is THAT?
Thank you, Robin. Now we know it's a small morsel of meat. I intend to catch up and have some small morsel of meat today.

Punishingly Intricate
My dad has an anti-Catholic bias, which is probably why I used to think Catholics are weird....
Not that I had an anti-Protestant bias but as a little kid I had ideas about what Protestants did vs. what Catholics did based on what my best friend's family did vs. my family. Her dad was a Methodist minister. Almost all of my other friends were Catholic. So, like, because her family used margarine--Protestants used margarine & Catholics used butter. Protestants had Sunday's big meal in the early afternoon; Catholics had the big meal at regular dinnertime. Protestants used skim milk; Catholics used whole.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I had pancakes over the weekend
I had waffles Sunday morning. But I feel that perhaps that's pushing the boundaries of what counts for Pancake Day. Either you can play fast and loose with the day, or you stick to the day but can vary your batter-based foodstuff.
But not both.
