Anyone else suffering ?

2 Cheese, ham and sun-dried tomato
2 Nutella and banana

I really don’t think that I could face another one for some time.

My wife kept referring to British pancakes as French pancakes, then started an argument with me about how weird my recipe for French pancakes was and then told me how they’d behave. Only been making these for over 20 years…

I may be British now, but I am just confused over what constitutes a pancake here.

This is what I mean when I talk about pancakes:

What do you mean? Because frankly, I can’t see how pancakes like the ones above could accommodate the sorts of sauces that cranberry describes.

^^ them, thems pancakes that I remember too. Not the thin Yorkshire Pub batter variety.

Those are most definitely not pancakes!

^^^you two are wrong! This is a pancake… 😀

Shrove Tuesday pancakes should look something like this;

English pancakes.

Well, that got us vexed 😉

I am sorry ladies and gentleman, but unless you have eaten this as you Shrove Tuesday meal, you have neither lived, nor had pancakes:

Can you imagine anything nicer?

Don’t come here with those thick American monstrosities

Even with bacon?!? That’s BACON you see there on the same plate! Pancakes with bacon. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Mods – can we have a ban for SaxonRider!

[tuts]there are some weird types on here[/tuts]

Dropscones with bacon?

Those are quite the thing, I always keep 2 packs in the freezer in case of emergencies 🙂

If I’m feeling carb load mode I’ll poach a couple of eggs, 3-4 rashers of bacon, plaster each pancake in hollandaise sauce and a pint of black coffee, sit back, scoff and burp.

The thin things produced by thin batter are frisbees :-))

Sweamrs is insisting our pancakes are savory and healthy 🙁

However she’s going out for the evening and so won’t be able to notice if sweajnr and I ignore those instructions… 😀

If you really want to confuse a Canadian give them some flapjack 8)

That’s BACON you see there on the same plate!

Pah, that’s not bacon, that’s just the cheap fatty cuts. Let’s compare proper bacon to that;

Seriously?

On a house holiday a few years ago we got into a pancake eating competition, the last two standing were the skinniest two people there (me and another lad). We were both well into the high teens if not 20s.

This is what I mean when I talk about pancakes:

They’re Scotch Pancakes.

I am sorry ladies and gentleman, but unless you have eaten this as you Shrove Tuesday meal, you have neither lived, nor had pancakes:

And they’re American pancakes.

These are Scottish pancakes.

These are the vastly inferior crepes English pancakes.

@Cougar: There’s a difference between Scotch and American pancakes? And you can see it in the pics I posted? 😯

Vurp…

4 pancakes and you think you’ve overdone it OP?

I had 3 savoury crepes/English-only-eat-pancakes-once-a-year pancakes with cheese, ham and chorizo.

Followed by 6 North-American-yes-they-really-are-pancakes pancakes, with maple syrup, blueberries and a dab of whipped cream.

Now that’s pancake overload….

(And I can happily get back on the diet tomorrow.)

Crepes use wheat flour so are not pancakes, drop scones contain bicarbonate of soda so are more like a bread hence scone.

I’m with SaxxonRider – That’s what my family were eating tonight.

I am sorry ladies and gentleman, but unless you have eaten this as you Shrove Tuesday meal, you have neither lived, nor had pancakes:

I’ve very recently had the type of pancakes you refer to me prepared by a Canadian friend and served with genuine Maple Syrup (not the US stuff bottled in Canada).

And English pancakes are better, but, if I’m honest. The French do them better.

Typical cake ingredients are flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil, a liquid, and leavening agents, such as baking soda and/or baking powder.

So these pancakes aren’t cakes either as the are not leavened. This pedantry can get a bit confusing.

Swedish equivalent eaten today on pancake day. plus creepy Swede.

it’s not, repeat, not a pancake

My grandmotherr use to make scotch pancakes or drop scones as they’re known around here, they were served as part of a cream tea as they’re a scone.

they were served as part of a cream tea as they’re a scone.

They are even better fried as part of a fry up for breakfast.

Could work as they’ll soak up all the lovely grease

20 odd of these consumed here this evening. Ham, cheese, sugar, lemon, maple syrup, bananas and ice cream in various combinations as accompaniment.

Stopped at 11, feel ill now

There were some left, so so had another pair to take my total to 11 for the night.

For all those who did double figures: good job well done. Now go and have a lie down.

I was restricted to two by the wife 🙁 she wasn’t very well so we had some from a packet, she had two, and I wasn’t allowed to eat the remaining 6 because it would be ‘gluttenous’

11 – well done!

I’ve not eaten that many since I was 14.

Hmmmm . . . . bacon and maple syrup.

Really hungry now.

this is what we eat here in Norway

called a Fastelavensboller

I’m on my pancake comedown now, managed to pack away seven;

1: Honey
2: Meatballs with some sort of tomatoes sauce and cheese
3: Apples
4: Apples and blueberries
5: Hot dog and nutella
6: Yogurt and honey
7: Blueberries and nutella

Followed my whimpering on the sofa. Reckon a ride tonight to work some of that off.

Hot dog and Nutella? What kind of pervert are you?
