    Pancake

    Object » linked to 51 games

    They come in many different flavors, such as blueberry, apple, chocolate chip, and the list goes on. Pancakes are often served with syrup and butter. In Scandinavia, they may be served with sugar, jam, or 'brown cheese'.

    American? Eat Pancakes? I need educating

    So apparently, pancakes are eaten with butter AND honey/syrup? Isn't that overkill/kinda nasty to eat? Is the butter melted or hard?

    We do have pancakes, and we do use syrup on them (or lemon and sugar) - never do we use butter.

    I'm American, and, I rarely eat pancakes, ( too doughy ) but when i do i eat them raw dog.

    syrup is too sugary, and butter is too buttery.

    The butter is melted and it is delicious.  Where do you live that you put lemon and sugar on pancakes?  That sounds crazy.

    What blows my mind (as a Brit) is that you seem to eat pancakes with bacon? That just seems insane! Do you also eat steak with a side of cookies?

    I see nothing wrong with either of those scenarios.

    Ireland. Stores even sell lemon juice things on Shrove Tuesday. But we make them, not the store bought thick ones, they are really nice with lemon and sugar. Lemon juice not an actual lemon wedge though.

    I may try the melted butter thing in the future.

    I'd definitely eat pancakes with either butter OR syrup. Couldn't do both.

    we have different consistency pancakes, they are less thick. The bitter/sweet kick of lemon & sugar is just the bees knees!

    You put room temp butter on them and it melts. It's like toast. And it's normal to eat pancakes with butter and syrup. I personally just use syrup because I can't really taste the butter if I put it on. However, I feel butter on waffles adds a lot of flavor. You have been educated.

    Bacon is a breakfast food, as well as Pancakes.

    If you think this is crazy, you need to see a menu for IHOP.

    Hah. Thank you very much. In our country, waffles are made of potato. It always confused me in American TV when people put syrup on waffles because I thought they were a savory thing, but actually I have tried the sweet version of the waffle in Ireland and they are awesome. So now I am educated on the two most important foods in the world.

    @EvilTwin: German pancakes with lemon and powdered sugar are quite possibly the most unhealthy thing you can eat for breakfast.

    They're delicious.

    The butter melts on the pancake if it is fresh. It doesn't clash with the syrup flavour at all. And who the fuck puts honey on a pancake?

    I don't eat Pancakes very often (more of a waffle guy really, unless we are talking about New York Cheesecake pancakes) but when I do eat pancakes they are with butter and syrup.

    However, I will say that there is much more syrup than there is butter. Like 90/10

    Honey-glazed ham, pork chops with applesauce - pigmeat works well with sweet flavours so this doesn't seem at all crazy.

    Other than the chocolate chips (and being typical nasty frozen food) eating that is no different than eating a pancake with a link of sausage.

    Actually, it's probably deep fried and whatnot to get the pancake on there. Then it's just a breakfast corn dog, which is bad, but not horrible. I have eaten "breakfast bowl" things before that had like over a thousand milligrams of sodium and 70% of your daily fat.

    I pretty much just eat pancakes when I'm at a hotel, but I put honey on them. It's the best choice, in my opinion. Then again, I don't fit any of the criteria you put in the title. Try honey on pancakes sometime, you'll like it. ;)

    Cultural differences, I guess? I only ever eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, with lemon and sugar. Having them for breakfast and with bacon (which is best served in a sandwich whilst hungover) is crazy talk to me.

    Normally, I eat my pancakes with syrup only. occasionally, a restaurant will put butter on the pancakes, but I prefer it without butter.

    However, I do normally put sausage on my pancakes. And I've been known to put bacon into them. In college, I even got a waffle house to make me some bacon pancakes.

    No we don't have Ihop. Unlike the US the UK is not a country full of fast food outlets although it does look interesting maybe I could franchise to the UK. Also pancakes are meant to be eaten with Jam, preferably Strawberry with your afternoon tea. Saying that yesterdays pancakes fried in the morning with butter and bacon are just scrummy. Dam... I'm hungry now.

    IHOP is a chain restaurant, not fast food.

    I know it makes me part of the problem, but I love those pancake/sausage corndog things.

    Regular pancakes I don't like too much. Too thick usually. I prefer waffles or french toast, both smothered with butter and syrup.

    Keep in mind that even in America pancakes can differ significantly. Johnnycakes, flapjacks, griddlecakes, hotcakes and pancakes can all be very different.

    And that is before we get to potato pancakes.
