		<description><![CDATA[In the name of social research, and the fact we can&#8217;t stop thinking about delicious pancakes for Shrove Tuesday tomorrow, we thought we&#8217;d conduct a little poll:

Just in case you&#8217;d completely forgotten about pancake day, here&#8217;s a little recipe from the matriarch of the British kitchen herself, Delia Smith.
