Pancakes - how do you have em?

[Jackson74]

When I was brought up, we ate pancakes as a main food and I have always had ketchup on them, I thought this was normal. (even my brother likes em this way) Now if I tell people how I have pancakes, they look at me weird, and screw their face up as if I've just cr*pped in their mum's handbag. Is ketchup that wrong?

PS: I think that putting sugar on them is gross by the way!

Lemon and sugar for me every time!! Yummy!

And if you like them with ketchup that's just fine. Each to his own!!

I like grated cheese with jam in mine.

You can also make fill them with a spinach and ricotta cheese mix, put the in a dish with passata and bechamel sause and bake in the oven with grated cheese on top as an alternative to pasta tubes.

Lemon and sugar. I did have one in Paris with chocolate sauce in it - but I much prefer lemon and sugar. I've never heard of putting ketchup on them.

My husband has his wth mint sauce (the type you have with lamb!).

I thought it was wierd when he first did it, pancakes were always sweet to me.
I now think that they are just the same as a yorkshire pudding, but cooked in a different way, so i suppose pancakes can be savoury in the same way.

Still, yorkshires with something sweet is definitely wrong!!!

i guess you can have whatever you like with them, lol!

I always associated them with sweet things to but on a visit to Amsterdam many years ago, I had one with smoked bacon in it and it was the most delicious pancake ive ever eaten

Lemon, sugar and a few sultanas or alternatively, Maple Syrup and ice cream!

Put whatever you like on pancakes. After all, pancake mixture is the same as a yorkshire pudding mix. Consequently, pancakes can be served with either a sweet or savoury filling; or topping as could be the case.

I think it would be possible to use a very thick pancake as a Pizza Base. The texture would be different but the taste would be similar.

Accordingly, I say "All food is a matter of individuals taste and we should respect each others preferences."

My wife and I can enjoy blue cheese on toast with a light topping of marmalade and ocassionally a few chocolates with a glass of red wine; ignoring toffee nosed folk who are a real pain in the posterior to the likes of us with good taste.!!

Best wishes ........Ron.

P.S...My wife Viv has read this response to you before I've had chance to press the submit button and has only now told me that, as a young girl, she liked Salad Cream as a preverance to Custard on Fruit Tart.

I adore sugar AND maple syrup on mine- is it any wonder I've more fillings than teeth in my gob??

[vivandorron]

It comes as an afterthough and I feel sure will interest you all and especially LuBlu.... In 'Kettners Book of the Table' (1877) the author E.S.Dallas said, in reference to Yorkshire, " It is difficult to believe in the taste of a province which eats mustard with apple pie."
