Shrove Tuesday 2012 - 21 February

[5t3IIa]

Anything else is either the wrong taste, the wrong texture or the wrong class.

 

[DotCommunist]

savoury with bacon and cheese

 

[Belushi]

 

[5t3IIa]

Wrong, but I'm not surprised.

 

[quimcunx]

don't think I've ever had lemon and sugar on a pancake or even a crappy crepe.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Sorry but it is

and

for me. Though Mr.QofG's likes

but he is a wrong 'un!

What do you have then? I can't remember since we did this last year and the year before and the year before.

 

[5t3IIa]

Sorry but it is

I've never tried that but it sounds good

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Korean. (vegan too)

Lemon and sugar ones shall also be had, and maybe some American pancakes with maple syrup and ice cream.

On Shrove Tuesday? Nothing. I'm not a christian. I don't, and have never, observed Lent although my mum did used to make pancakes around shrove time. I don't believe a lemon has ever been in my parents' house. I have pancakes whenever I feel like it and have had a variety of accoutrements with them. When shrove tuesday comes around I do think ''ooh, I might make some pancakes'' but never do. I occasionally have some in the following couple of weeks.

I had pancakes a little over a week ago. I had them with sausage and fried egg. I resisted putting maple syrup on them.

DON'T LIE! YOU HAD PANCKES LAST YEAR I SAW YOU WITH MY OWN EYES.

 

[Belushi]

I distinctly remember you eating pancakes last shrove tuesday quimmy

 

[Belushi]

Yes! I was there! She made a big fuss on how they are actually crepes!

This is me, I'm going to really try and make an effort this time for the kids though, I'm very bad for not observing traditions and I feel sorry for them

 

[quimcunx]

DON'T LIE! YOU HAD PANCKES LAST YEAR I SAW YOU WITH MY OWN EYES.

Oh yeah! I had completely blanked that from my mind. Heh. I'd imagine because they were crepes not pancakes.

I don't think I had any with just lemon and sugar. If I did it must have been too dull for me to remember.

You saw me eating crepes. This thread is questioning us about pancakes so I can hardly be blamed for not recalling Stella's evening of shrove crepes.

 

[TitanSound]

I'm going to do savoury pancakes first. Then American style pancakes with cinnamon, chocolate and syrup

Are you doing a Danny and talking about drop scones? I wouldn't put lemon and sugar on drop scones, I would spread them with jam. Lemon and sugar on crepes/pancakes though

 

[Citizen66]

They're nice with lemon juice and sugar or treacle. Or rather I should say golden syrup, but was brought up to believe it was treacle.

No. I'm talking about pancakes. YOU are talking about crepes.

 

[joustmaster]

ham and cheese

 

[mr steev]

No. I'm talking about pancakes. YOU are talking about crepes.

I am talking about crepes and pancakes (as they are very similar, crepes being lighter and thinner), but not scotch pancakes/drop scones which are a lot thicker

 

[5t3IIa]

You tell 'er Steev!

 

[sheothebudworths]

We're having chilli and cheddar for firsts then lemon and sugar for afters.

 

[Greebo]

It's not celebrated as Shrove Tuesday here either, but it'd still feel wrong to miss out on the pancakes.
Large thin pancakes with lemon & sugar, possibly lime juice if VP gets his way.
Drop scones with raisins in them, covered with lemon/lime juice & maple syrup.

 

[gentlegreen]

How about wholemeal flour ?

 

[Greebo]

How about wholemeal flour ?

IME it works fine, but you often need to add a little extra liquid to it - wholemeal is more absorbent.

I am talking about pancakes/drop scones which are correct and crepes which are wrong.

There's nothing wrong with drop scones but they are not the traditional pancakes for pancake day.
For a start you cook a few drop scones in one go... so how do you toss them?
When you add lemon and sugar you generally fold or roll them... how do you do that with drop scones?

 

[Badgers]

It is still religious this?
