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.

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.
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.

What the hell else would you eat with pancakes? They are always served with a side of bacon or sausage.

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.
Try melting the butter in a pan then cooking the pancakes.
Hmmm. delicious pancakes. Just had them this morning.

Also this.

also I don't know if you Brits have IHOP over there but we have this place that serves breakfast all day long.

I would have thought the waffles in Ireland would have been made of potatoes.

this but deep fat fried and set on fire
@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?
@mlarrabee: German pancakes just look like Yorkshire Puddings
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

Is that real? Because if it is...

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

Our pancakes looks nothing like the American ones. Also, we eat it with brown cheese. Hell yeah!
I can't comment on this right now as I have a mouthfull of vomit to dispose of.

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.
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.
Well the only time I really ever eat pancakes is when I'm drunk and it is 4am. So bacon, butter and syrup sounds great
What I've taken away from this is that British and American variations on food are still different. Who would've guessed?
IHOP is a chain restaurant, not fast food.@Dagbiker said:

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.
Are sausage pancakes essentially toad in the hole?
I'm not sure how I the IHOP actually is. I live in arguably the most American of all non-American cities (Toronto), and I haven't yet encountered an IHOP.@Dalai said:
