Due to the fact that on average two pancakes are consumed by each person on Shrove Tuesday in Britain, 52million eggs will be cracked and added to the batter mix - an astonishing 22million more than on a normal day. Interestingly, 13million kilograms of flour will also be used in the batter mix across Britain - and that will be combined with enough milk to fill more than 90 Olympic swimming pools.
