I think you had some typos Daystar, let me fix that for you:



Pictured: REAL Pancakes


Pictured: crepes, the brits stole them from the French but wanted to use an english name so they didn't have to admit French cooking was better than British

I too, think American/Canadian pancakes have a striking resembelence to pikelets.

They're like crumpets, but not nearly as good.
Real pancakes do in fact seem to be pretty close to pikelets in ingredients and look. However, real pancakes are served with a bit of butter (optional) and real maple syrup.

The poor or less refined may substitute fake maple syrup or some sort of fruit slop but you can't blame them when they grew up in places where white flower+water+pepper is called gravy.

Real pancakes are however nothing like crumpets in look, texture, toppings, or preparation method. I believe crumpets are just unrefined English Muffins
We beat the French enough times to earn the right to steal their food for our own.

That's what wars are about, you know. Not politics, but food ownership.

Damn it, I'll eat British when you limeys finally call chips by their proper name, french fries!
We do call fries, fries.

Chips and fries are not the same thing.

These are chips

These are french fries


Chips are a manly food for manly men.

Fries are inferior in their manliness and are of course, french.
Both of those are versions of fries.
Listen here sunshine, we invented the chip, we can call it whatever we want.

Damn you, that made me laugh.

OT: My one true regret in life is never knowing the true joy of a pancake of the non-colonial variety. These rebel hotcakes will never do! Although, we have tortillas...So, I guess that makes it even. :) ( At least where I'm from in the states )


Are those even letters??

Who ever said these were pancakes?

It is true. We americans do refer to our door stops and coasters as "pancakes" whereas your mouth-watering, but oddly phallus-shaped godsends of goodness are "crepes". And I shall continue to refer to them as such as to not confuse my simple american brain.

You know that 'great evil' I was on about?

Yeah, that abomination pretty much sums up what it is.

Phallus shaped?

I'd hate to think what kind of pancakes you've been eating to get that impression...

Syrup and treacle... just so much syrup and treacle... the sugar... THE SUGAR.
That's why we eat them only once a year.

Everyone would be diabetic otherwise.
The London marathon should be after pancake day, I feel like I could fucking sprint to Scotland right now. Goodbye any hope of sleeping tonight.

Yeah, not really...the shoestring ones really aren't as good.

Ok fine, you win again.

You mean I just 'win'?

No, no, this never happens.


I'm watching you.

Real men eat waffles.

The only food so badass that the guy who invented them couldn't eat them.

Waffles > Pancakes.

Compartments that hold the syrup FTW!

Yes, you.

You always come to my threads and leave your negative comments and bring the whole atmosphere down.

You...you...but. Mix?!
Good god man! Buying mix is stereotypically what the Americans do because they can't cook!

Well looking at your pictures I could see that looking like a soft and uncircumcised body part. Hmm... I wonder if that's why brits enjoy eating them so much.
They don't usually look like that picture. Mine certainly don't. And I like to fold them up into parcels and eat them all in one go like the disgusting child that I am...

If you can't stand the heat, get off the griddle, Daystar. We're throwing down right here, right now. Waffles vs. pancakes. Your uncouth syrup sponges versus our exquisite works of refined batter engineering. It's like eating the very concept of industrial irrigation.
