On this day, people traditionally eat large amounts of pancakes made with ingredients like flour, salt, egg, milk and oil, which are mixed into a batter and fried until golden brown on both sides. Valentine's Day, celebrated two days later on February 14th, is a day for people in love to exchange gifts and cards.
