Re: Pancake Day
My son was just explaining to me today that what I call pancakes are actually Scotch Pancakes or Drop Scones (and are quite like Canadian Pancakes) and 'real' pancakes are what I call crepes! (I'm Scottish, he's not and we now live in England - and he's 11 and now knows everything!)
Anyway we had real / English pancakes today: first lot with tuna, sweetcorn and cheese and second lot with lemon and sugar - main course and pudding sorted.

Re: Pancake Day
You should try them and maybe some other Candian traditions - might help your last couple of years fly by without too much annoyance.

Re: Pancake Day
Well, thank-you for the advice. I'm sure that making and eating drop scones will make the time fly by.

Re: Pancake Day
we put currents in our pancakes with sugar and lemon on top. yummy my father always made them when I was younger and my husband makes them now.
Scotch pancakes we call pikelets - my mother made them all the time and we put salted butter on top. again yummy
We had butterfly cakes today.

Re: Pancake Day
What does everyone call bread rolls then - thats a definite geographical speciality.
In Leicester we called them cobs
