Has everyone forgotten that it’s

[Mr Flibble]

Pancake Day, It’s Pancake Day, it’s p-p-p-p-p-p-Pancake Day?

[Jo]

Nope, Ian and I have eaten lots of pancakes :o) Literally six (between us) nomnomnom :o)

[Bob Loblaw]

I like pancakes, I like pancakes,
They make me a happy peter,
I am happy, I am happy,
Lalalalalaaa.

[Seb Patrick]

Nope. But I posted the video last year, and didn’t want to be accused of Craig Charles-esque repetitiveness ;-)

[Tanya Jones]

I had mine with Nutella :)

I faxed mine to Canada.

I think it’s OK with the pancake day song :)

I had mine with Lyle’s Golden Syrup.

[Pete Part Three]

I’ve just got back from a pancake party. There was a lot of tossing.

We also flipped some pancakes.

Ahhhhhh

[Ben Paddon]

I live in the US, where there is no pancake day.

Gutted.

[Carlito]

Every day is pancake day in the US.

[Ben Paddon]

I wish I knew someone called Patrick Day. Then every time he came into the room I could sing, “It’s Patrick Day! It’s Patrick Day! It’s P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-Patrick day!”

…

I’ll get me coat.

[ChrisM]

I completely missed it was pancake day. I can’t really say I ‘forgot’ though as I’ve never taken note of the date.

[Mr Flibble]

Pancake Day is a Christian celebration… How come you don’t have it in the US?

[TheLeen]

Good old Christian Germany doesn’t have it either.

[Ian Symes]

Pancake Day is a Christian celebration?

Well, Shrove Tuesday is a Christian celebration. The pancake manifestation of it is a British thing.

[locusceruleus]

I made some with chicken, onions and mushrooms. Good stuff.

*tossing joke goes here*

[Ian Symes]

SingingPotato is a pancake genius – she wrapped a Milky Bar in a pancake and baked it in the oven. It was the highlight of my year so far.

[Ian Symes]

Dutch pancakes are the best. In fact, Dutch everything is the best. Who fancies a G&T meet in Amsterdam?

[ChrisM]

Ugh. Still… she might have deep-fried it.

I love em the simple old-fashioned way with sugar and lemon juice. (It’s been ages since I’ve scoffed any though.) I have had fancier pancakes in Paris though in a shop where all meals were based on them. Fluffy, wrapped in stuff. Despite being called ‘crepes’ they were actually very good.

[TheLeen]

Well, OBVIOUSLY you haven’t had any Belgian waffles yet. They beat Dutch waffles by fucking LIGHTYEARS.

G&T meetup in Brussels please.

[Ian Symes]

Does Brussels have legal brothels and brown cafes? I think NOT.

[TheLeen]

How crucial are those to a G&T meetup? Compared to waffels? :P

Did she find the recipe in a book on biological warfare?

[Tanya Jones]

There’s the Dutch Pancake House in Manchester, of course. And you can smoke weed on the top deck of the buses; or at least everyone did when I lived there.

[Ian Symes]

Or you can go to My Old Dutch in Ealing, and then just come back to my house for a smoke. I’m yet to enlist a group of willing prostitutes, but I’m working on it.

I was brought up with pancakes and gravy on Pancake Day, as well as the sweet ones. We often have them with ash/stew, as well, lining the bowl. When I went to Uni in Wales, my southern housemates thought I was disgusting when I poured my gravy over them (over the pancakes, not my housemates). My argument is that Pancake batter is the same as yorkshire puddings – regularly served with the sunday roast, covered in gravy – so a pancake is essentially a fried pancake.

Anyway, since I can’t have the sweet ones these days, the savoury option is the only one open to me.

Surely there are other people who have gravy with pancakes?

[Ian Symes]

Not gravy, but yesterday we had chilli chicken, veg and creme fraiche with ours. Someone in our office made his with spinach, feta and tomato jus.

[TheLeen]

I like savoury pancakes. Anything with cheese, or spinach, or both, or salmon, or curry, or, … anything…

As the pancake as such doesn’t taste of much, you can combine it with anything, just like bread.

[hummingbird]

I had peri-peri chicken pancakes followed by maple syrup pancakes.
*nom nom nom*

[JamesTC]

Mmmmm Peri…

[Mr Flibble]

There?s the Dutch Pancake House in Manchester, of course.

Not for the last 3 or 4 years there isn’t.

And you can smoke weed on the top deck of the buses; or at least everyone did when I lived there.

It was downstairs too the other day.

[Tanya Jones]

Oh, of course, I now remember hearing that it had closed. What a shame…

[hummingbird]

> There?s the Dutch Pancake House in Manchester, of course

I haven’t been there since …. oooh, about 1989.

[Mr Flibble]

Oh, of course, I now remember hearing that it had closed. What a shame…

Yes, it was closed because the building was being demolished very soon.

Still there and boarded up.

It was a Milky Way, but it was creally good :o)

[Danny Stephenson]

That’s really weird, I read it as ‘Milky Way’…

[ChrisM]

>That?s really weird, I read it as ?Milky Way??

Even weirder, I did too. At least that was the image in my mind, rather than the white chocolate bar described.

[Ian Symes]

I *wrote* it as Milky Bar, despite the fact that it was clearly a Milky Way. A Milky Bar would be shit.

[Danny Stephenson]

I don’t know, you know. I quite enjoy white chocolate.

[ChrisM]

Me too. But wrapped in a pancake….

Come to think of it milky way wrapped in a pancake….

But a couple here enjoyed it. I really can’t judge unless I’ve tasted it myself.

EDIT- I went and wrote ‘milky bar’ above again. Heh. Some kind of blind spot there.
