Re: Pancake Day
I was born on Pancake Day. My dad and brothers never forgave me (they didn't get their pancakes that year).

Re: Pancake Day
It was always tradition round our way...and a pretty damn good one! And yes I'll be making the proper ones and not the weird massive ones!

Re: Pancake Day
Yip we are having proper pancakes with cinnamon sugar (South African tradition), I will open a can (or tin, don't know which is the correct word 
) of peaches, and whisked up fresh cream to have it with the pancakes too.

Re: Pancake Day
I had no idea that there was a north-south divide in the pancake tradition. I wonder where the cut off point is. Is golden syrup with pancakes contiguous with the Pork-pie and Tunis cake at Christmas zone, I wonder, or is it further north, into the salty porridge and IrnBru zone?

Re: Pancake Day
I was born and raised on the Isle of Wight and we put goldon syrup on our pancakes. I suspect the divide is more stuck up/each to their own than north/south. Perhaps we could look at accents and, maybe, those with RP accents would prefer lemon and sugar, while the rest would prefer whatever tastes good.

Re: Pancake Day
Our family grew up on lemon/sugar and we didn't have RP accents. The pancakes and their toppings are quite a contrast to the stuff sold at IHOP and other breakfast places here in Canada. Most Canadians find the pancakes discussed on this forum to be very similar to crepes.

Re: Pancake Day
I've never eaten a Canadian pancake, but my mother used to make "Scotch pancakes", which were thicker and smaller than a usual pancake, and we used to eat them with syrup, but never on pancake day.

Re: Pancake Day
Yes, I'd already got the impression you are quite confused, 4Bells. Have you considered seeking treatment?
