I actually...Yeah, I know you guys call them crepes. I actually have an American pancake cookbook with all manner of pancakes, crepes and fritters in it. And I do love American pancakes, especially with maple syrup, butter and bacon. It's not the item of food I had the issue with per se, it was that a store in England was incapable of using the correct style of pancake to advertise Shrove Tuesday! <br /><br />Dude, I have a griddle and have been known to whip up a batch of fat, fluffy pancakes for manboy's breakfast.<br /><br />I miss my grandad's Picalilli, unfortunately he took the recipe to the grave :(<br /><br />And that's just in the UK, there are similar traditions all over the world and most involve eating. No wonder I prefer this holiday over Valentine's Day!<br /><br />Ta :DLillian Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401795492498709547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413548677283068724.post-66007750531125076362013-02-13T09:13:31.403+00:002013-02-13T09:13:31.403+00:00So, you don't like American pancakes huh??? *...So, you don't like American pancakes huh??? *cries* How can you NOT like American pancakes? They are like the best thing since puppies and rainbows... *sigh*. I know, you like CREPES better ;p Yes, that's what WE call them, CREPES :D<br /><br />And just FYI I do my pancakes in a frying pan b/c I don't have a griddle LOL.<br /><br />Now, you know all this was said in jest right? Because srsly? I KNOW what it's like to want food you grew up with. I miss my grandmother's Chicken and Dumplings like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. <br /><br />Thanks for all the background info on Shrove Tuesday I had no idea there was that much history in it. That was cool to read that.<br /><br />And LOVE LOVE LOVE the excerpt :DKatherine Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616040016875263116noreply@blogger.com
