Description: 52 million eggs in one day in Britain, chocolate in France, fish in Asia, lemon and sugar in the UK - plus pancake races and how to flip one.

Britain uses 52 million eggs in a single day. Chocolate in France, fish in Asia, lemon and sugar in the UK - and then the races, and how to flip one yourself.

The figure that stops a class is 52 million - the number of eggs Britain gets through on Shrove Tuesday. Around it sits a short tour of how different countries eat the same food: chocolate in France, fish in parts of Asia, lemon and sugar in Britain, which surprises anyone raised on syrup.

Then Pancake Day itself - the Tuesday in February or March, the races that people run while tossing a pancake, and a look at how the batter is actually made. A1-A2, food vocabulary throughout, and it leaves an obvious question for the class: how do you eat yours at home?
