Called jour des crêpes, the holiday is associated with the Catholic feast of Candlemas. On this day households all over France make crêpes. This is because it is believed that crêpes symbolise prosperity. Crêpes are thin pancakes made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk or water, and butter. Thought to have originated in Brittany, France, they were traditionally made with buckwheat flour, though these days they are made with a variety of different flours including white flour, chickpea flour, and almond flour. In many French households, it is customary to make crêpes while holding a coin in your hand. The belief is that if you flip the crêpe in the air and catch it in the pan without dropping the coin, the upcoming year will be a prosperous year for you. I might have pancakes for breakfast - that's near enough
I ought to remind folks that today is also Groundhog Day and World Ukulele Day. Stuff your crêpes! (With whatever filling you fancy).
Oh I think you should be safe. Even if they want to enter their inner struggle about being seen as a poncey southerner will keep them out
