Man, I got lemon juice in a cut on my finger. I might have to put this on the aches and pains thread and things that got you down today.

I managed 7. That's a new personal best for a fair few years tbh. 3 with ham, cheese and sweet corn and 4 with lemon and sugar. And a bit of stolen one with Nutella and banana.

I can't breathe. Nor will need to eat for a day or two

 

[Looby]

I had 3 and I feel really sick. I don't even really like them, I just use it as an excuse to buy Nutella. [emoji33]

 

[Saffy]

2 savoury and 3 sweet.

1 with lemon and sugar.
1'with stewed mixed berries, raspberry ice cream and a drizzle of Nutella.
1 with Nutella.

Completely forgot it was pancake day today >_< We've got all the ingredients (including a big bottle of Proper Maple Syrup Like) apart from lemons so it's a no-go for now but seeing as this isn't a strictly religious household we'll have a Sermon On The Mountain Of Pancakes (SOTMOP) this weekend no doubt.

I found them brittany ones a bit too savoury for my liking. Very cheap and filling though. Brittany is a strange place, its not like normal france. They have bagpipes

Brettonian pancakes come in two versions - the regular sweet crêpe and the savoury galette, made from buckwheat flour (my preference would be a tartiflette galette). Brittany is kind of a weird mish-mash of Cornwall meets Belgium (beer and cider traditions especially, very little in the way of wine). Highly recommended for a jaunt B)

I'm gonna have at least six. gotta wait though, cos my flatmate came in and started cooking with the pan i'd just put on the hob, even though i had it all set out.

Two Scotch pancakes each (with maple syrup) then two traditional ones with lemon and sugar (for me) and jam for Mr,QofG's and the small one.

The small one then wanted more so he could try lemon and sugar but there were no more. Cue tears and shouts of "WHY?"!

 

[neonwilderness]

Six down so far. Maybe a couple more soon

 

[moose]

Phwoooaaarrrr!

So what are you all giving up for Lent being as you are partaking in 'pancake day'?

Pancakes

But pancakes for the purpose of pancake day are always 'those thin things' that the French call crepes.

I'm sure it's been said before but French crepes are (slightly) different than tradtional (not drop scone) pancake day pancakes. They're lighter and thinner.

Pancake ingredients - flour, eggs, milk, salt.
Crepe ingredients - flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, salt.

In the supermarket today they had loads of that drop scone in a plastic bottle mix on their PANCAKE DAY stand and nothing else. It made me sad

nowt. it's not mandatory

 

[Addy]

.... but it is a self test of willpower.

I never bought in to it until an ex boss got me to test myself, and I do find it a good way of doing that.

I'm not even going to 'like' that

I didn't have any pancakes today. I do have pancakes, crepes and drop scones often throughout the year though.

Having pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is a bit like waving 2 fingers in the air if you do not abide by the sacriledge of Lent ..... Hypocritical some might say

 

[neonwilderness]

I'm giving up lent for lent

 

[wtfftw]

And I celebrate Christmas without any Jesus.

 

[wtfftw]

Burnt my finger but it was worth it.

[Addy]

Extream lol.... lent and jesus do not go hand in hand in 2 seperate threads..

 

[Vintage Paw]

I like American buttermilk pancakes more than the thin things we have here. I like those too. But I prefer American buttermilk pancakes.

With bacon, and eggs, and potatoes, and butter, and that weird whippy stuff, and maple syrup, and butter.

 

[TruXta]

No.
