Burning the Christmas Holly on Shrove Tuesday

Today is Shrove Tuesday and when my mother was growing up they would always use some holly left over from Christmas to light the open fire to make their pancakes on this day. It wasn’t terribly widespread but I’ve recorded a few other accounts from neighbouring villages here in this part of Wexford. and in a few other counties. The tradition faded away with her when they stopped cooking on the open fire and got a gas cooker.

AMERICAN VINTAGE FOOD FACTS

Conversation hearts were invented by the New England Candy Company (NECCO) in 1902. Originally called Sweethearts, this tasty and chalky treat was stamped with sweet sayings and sold throughout the Valentine's Day holiday season.

More than eight billion Sweetheart candies are sold in the six weeks leading up to Valentine's Day.

Certain phrases have stuck around since the beginning of the brand, including “Be Mine,” “Kiss Me” and “Be True.” In 2010, NECCO asked the public to suggest new sayings. It received more than 10,000 submissions with “TWEET ME,” “TEXT ME” and “LOVE BUG” ranking as the top three.
