It does. It started as a Catholic tradtion of eating as much as you can the day before the Ash Wed. fast. On Ash Wed., Catholics are supposed to only eat a very small breakfast and lunch, a dinner no more then the breakfast and lunch put together, and no snacking between meals - plus, no meat.
Prodestants have Shrove Tuesday...we have a pancake dinner.
