I believe it's pancake Tuesday today, though I didn't remember until after it was too late for breakfast. Is it acceptable to have pancakes for tea?

[-] ColonialSpore@lemmy.nz 4 points 9 months ago

It is acceptable to eat pancakes at any time as long as they are covered in brown sugar with lots of cinnamon. This is what separates us from the savages.

Any other form of pancake eating is just plain wrong, which means you shouldn't be allowed to eat them.

I will not discuss this further unless you agree with me.

What about lemon juice and icing sugar?

[-] ColonialSpore@lemmy.nz 3 points 9 months ago

Ugh

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 3 points 9 months ago

This is the way

This is my favourite topping for pancakes + butter, but I wonder if its just folks of a certain generation, because nowadays people are going with blueberries, maple syrups, nutella, whipped cream etc instead.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 9 months ago

Pancakes are just a pretty basic batter. I think that allows a pretty wide range of toppings. Sweet, savory, fruit, cream, butter, sugar, lemon juice, maple syrup, etc. Peking duck is often served with pancakes, but is not the only meat and pancake meal.

Now I want pancakes..

Apple compote and cream is pretty good too.

Gonna eat pancakes with marmite just to prove you wrong!

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Wholly shit, man. No need to fly off the handle or anything!

[-] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 3 points 9 months ago

Luckily I didn't have the ingredients to make pancakes at home, so I haven't sullied their good name to prove a point

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

I reckon you're just too proud to admit mistakes...

[-] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 2 points 9 months ago

I have never made a mistake and I never will!

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Still would be better with Vegemite - it's not slimy like Marmite is.

[-] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 3 points 9 months ago

I’m not particular to either so I’m ok with that

[-] BlueEther@lemmy.nz 3 points 9 months ago

we are having pancakes for dinner tonight

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 9 months ago

With sugar or maple syrup, or is it a special dinner topping?

[-] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 3 points 9 months ago

Ended up at lunchtime, white sugar and lemon juice or lime juice for the big people and the 2 kids had maple syrup

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 9 months ago

I'm trying to decide if pancakes with sugar/maple syrup is dinner or desert, or if we make pancake lasagne or something 😆

[-] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 2 points 9 months ago

Dinner?

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 9 months ago

Oh man that looks good. Too bad we don't have any ice cream.

We did end up having pancakes for dinner, went with icing sugar and lemon juice (plus that one kid who had to put lemon juice, lime juice, icing sugar, maple syrup, and banana).
