Pancake Day
Apparently there are actually people out there who have a "proper" main course and just have pancakes for pudding. I take it no-one here does that.

Re: Pancake Day
You won't find anyone so weird on a Countdown forum, I'm fairly sure.
Re: Pancake Day
Not only did I have pancakes as a dessert (I have lemon and sugar in them ffs, what else would it be?), I had them on Monday night instead.

I suppose you're one of these dickheads that's like "Ooh I've got to eat a sensible meal first. I can't just have pancakes. It'not a balanced diet."Jon Corby wrote:Not only did I have pancakes as a dessert (I have lemon and sugar in them ffs, what else would it be?), I had them on Monday night instead.
Well I hope you enjoyed your minced horse.
Re: Pancake Day
It's more that I'd have to eat shitloads of pancakes to fill up, and I'd stop enjoying them after the 3rd or so. I know some people have savoury pancakes, but I've never tried that, and since I've somehow landed the job of chief pancake chef in my house, I'd rather do as little as possible.Gavin Chipper wrote:I suppose you're one of these dickheads that's like "Ooh I've got to eat a sensible meal first.

Re: Pancake Day
Pancakes are wretched, duplicitous lying little skunks. You don't look at a nice Victoria sponge or choccy Swiss roll and say "Oh gosh... I'm going to have to shovel half a ton of sugar over this to make it even remotely edible", do you?
Never mind beef in lasagnes or pork in sausages, why isn't there an outcry about there being precisely 0% cake content in a pancake, eh?

Re: Pancake Day
Those other things have got sugar in already. It sounds like it's not pancakes you have a problem with but doing the work yourselfNick Deller wrote:Pancakes are wretched, duplicitous lying little skunks.

Re: Pancake Day
So you just have sweet pancakes for dinner? How many? That just sounds revolting. I mean, I might enjoy a slice of cake for dessert, but I couldn't sit there and eat two gateaux (or gateaus if you're Jono) in lieu of a main meal. That's just rank.Gavin Chipper wrote:Savoury pancakes don't count anyway.

Re: Pancake Day
My problem is that they're not cake! Frankly they're barely even food and you'd get the same amount of gustatory delight from a piece of corrugated cardboard dunked in a glass of orange juice, but that's subsidiary to the basic fact that they ARE NOT CAKE.Gavin Chipper wrote:Those other things have got sugar in already.

I don't see a problem with it. Although my waistline's been expanding at about 1/4" per year for quite a long time.Jon Corby wrote:So you just have sweet pancakes for dinner? How many?

I had a cheese sandwich and some Angel Delight for tea last night.

Re: Pancake Day
I assume they are just called pancakes because they're very flat, as in "flat as a pancake".Nick Deller wrote:but that's subsidiary to the basic fact that they ARE NOT CAKE.

Nick's in for a shock if he's ever invited to eat sweetbread.

Re: Pancake Day
Another thing - I always think it sounds really odd when people call it "Pancake Tuesday". It's not Pancake Tuesday. It's Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday, not Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Day.

Not for me, it was Pancake Monday.
