Isle of Man.
On this occasion it was formerly customary for the Manks to have Sollaghyn or Crowdy for dinner, instead of for breakfast, as at other times; and for supper, flesh meat, with a large pudding and pancakes; hence the Manks proverb:
“Ee shibber oie innid vees olty volg lane,
My jig laa caisht yon traaste son shen.”
“On Shrove Tuesday night, though thy supper be fat,
Before Easter Day thou may’st fast for that.”
