[Finance] Pancake Day

[Coalburner]

No pallid pancakes here. We are having a full blown New Orleans Mardi Gras - red beans & rice, gumbo, jambalaya, bread pudding with whiskey sauce, New Orleans jazz on the stereo, New Orleans Saints sweatshirt and loads of beads thrown and caught from floats on the parades on the day. A different Shrove Tuesday.

Lemon juice and sugar

Favourite toppings?

I don't understand the question.

Pancakes are served with caster sugar and lemon juice.
There are no "toppings"

Plus they are then rolled

I think they are different places. The Happy Eater was on the northbound carriageway, where what is now a car showroom I think.

Think you may mean Warninglid and not Hickstead ?

We used to regularly have these at a kid and I loved them. A couple of years ago decided to get some for my kids and they couldn't stand them!

Normal pancakes I don't really do, used to as a kid, same with cakes. Never tried American either, they just look so sickly sweet.

If I was going to have some , it would be lemon and sugar, or bandanas, blueberries, chocolate and cream.

Tales all sorts, I guess...

Think you could well be right. It was about 40 years ago and can't remember

 

[Marty McFly]

Bacon, banana, blueberries (not a poll option?) and maple syrup.

Got them on the go right now!

One of THE great days on the calendar I am sure you will agree.

It's the 5th greatest day on the calendar

1 - Christmas Day
2 - ones own birthday
3 - Halloween
4 - Easter Sunday
5 - Pancake day

That's the official verdict from my kids.

Honey or lemon and sugar for me. Anything else is just crepes.

Today always reminds me of that fabulous restaurant sited by the entrance to the Lanes, called My Old Dutch

Served the most enormous pancakes [2 foot diameter] with a huge menu of both sweet and savoury options - great night out back in the early 80's - anyone else remember that place?

I'm inclined to agree, I'm not sure whether Good Friday creeps in ahead of Pancake Day, but that would be my top 6.

You are of course entirely correct. I do like the crunch of granulated sugar, though this may just be because I was raised in a home where that was the only sugar.
Further I hope you can forgive me using lime juice this afternoon. I'd run out of lemon.

Exactly. We aren't Americans. They probably treat them like long doughnuts and dunk them in their coffee.

The greatest thing the Americans gave the world is pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Maybe it was the Canadians but they count as they are both North American.

Jam.
