Choose the correct answer. What do British people do on Pancake Day? Traditionally, many people eat pancakes on this day. One of the British traditions is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss the pancake (throw the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan) several times. In some pancake races, people dress up in fancy dress costumes. The most famous pancake race takes place in a town called Olney. The British say that Olney has been celebrating pancake races since 1445!
