Brook Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Oh dear, after reading that link, I feel a slight lazy person. This year I've cheated and let that nice old 'aunt' lady cook them for me and freeze them up so I could go straight in the shop and get a bag out of the freezer. A little sprinkle of sugar and a splash of lemon, and hopefully you wont tell the difference. Well, you know how busy I am these days, haven't got time to stand there making pancakes! Okay, I'll come clean and admit the fact that my own pancakes are really yuk! Brook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyProudfoot Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I hate the smell of pancakes. Martin came down this morning and despite the fact he always has a chicken burger or fish finger sandwich for breakfast he insisted that he had to have pancakes for breakfast and that I was the worst mum in the world because I wouldn't let him have pancakes. Bearing in mind I hadn't uttered a word yet So 7.30am there I am making flippin' pancakes (geddit!). I don't mind making them, they're easy enough I just hate the smell of oil. It makes me feel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tensing Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Henry and I have made some already today, we were only suppoed to be making the batter for later. We had Mushrooms in ours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I like them with sugar and lemon, the good old traditional way. L likes syrup and cinnamon on hers, so I'll be making them later I expect (must remember to buy flour and oil ). In South Africa and Zimbabwe there used to be a chain of restaurants which just did pancakes with every kind of savoury or sweet filling you could think of. A good student hangout as the food was very cheap. I miss them. I'm surprised there's no equivalent here - pancakes are the ultimate fast food. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyFulkirk Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Melty cheese and mushrooms and a little bit of spinach on savoury ones. Golden syrup or lemon and sugar or raspberry jam or chocolate spread on sweet ones. Thats my favourite things, anyway. Yumyumyum I am going to get fat again now.

Zemanski Report post Posted February 28, 2006 we used to go to a pancake place in Oxford - Go Dutch - that turned out to be one of the cover businesses run by Mr Nice's wife (apparently) the stoop there was made with cornsyrup and went on savoury and sweet alike Z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted February 28, 2006 My tummy hurts..! I can't breath...!! But, yum, yum, yummmmmmy, yum! We had lemon juice n sugar.... strawberries, rasberries,apples,bananas,cucumber ,grapes,jam n honey (not all at once i'd like to add..... ) - little monkeys a bit of a 'fruitbat' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenemo Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Ah, Fruitbat, that most decadent of summer games! To play you need: Wickets (as in cricket) Cricket bat or tennis racquet Assortment of soft fruits (Saturday afternoon at the market, too soft/ripe to sell are best and cheapest) - anything up to oranges, but apples are usually too hard) Any number of players How to play 1 person is the bowler, 1 batsman, 1 wicket keeper, everyone else is a fielder, ready to catch. Everyone takes turns - fielder -> bowler -> wicket keeper -> batsman -> fielder The rest is obvious. Bowl fruit at batsman. Batsman splats fruit. Fielders get sprayed. (if using tennis racquet, wicketkeeper turns into a smoothie after a few 'hits') Everyone under the hose or in the paddling pool at the end I'll try to remember to repost this in July enjoy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good student hangout as the food was very cheap. I miss them. I'm surprised there's no equivalent here - pancakes are the ultimate fast food. When I lived in London there was a restaurant called 'My Old Dutch' - used to serve similar to the above - enormous pancakes on 16" Delft plates - fantastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
