    They have to be thick ones straight off the grill with either maple syrup or chocolate Nutella😋

    Wrong again billy boy. It doesn't have to be anything. It's up to the person to choose what type of pancake they want. Why do you think it's called Pancake Chooseday?

    How exactly do you cook batter on a grill?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Thin with lemon juice and a little sugar.

    None of this sugary nutella bollox.

    It's Shrove Tuesday but I hate pancakes. Way too much effort for so little return.

    For peeps thinking it's all about the food.
    Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins). A bell would be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the “Pancake Bell” and is still rung today.

    Effort?!? Anything other than toast must be a culinary ordeal for you.

    I like making pancakes but they’re not exactly no effort and not that hard to mess up. I could easily see why anyone who doesn’t care for cooking would see it as hassle.

    What day is pancake tuesday on anyway??

    tomorrow and then Ash Wednesday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    What month is chocolate egg Sunday?

    I hope they don't invent some religious event to fall on the same day. I hate when they do that. They did the same with pancake tuesday. And christmas day.

    :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,837 ✭✭✭Doctors room ghost


    Lemon and a grain of sugar and I’d surely ate 50 of them.im a pancake savage.
    I’d near drink the batter

    Have batter made in the fridge.

    Cook them up in the morning about 7

    Nutella, strawberries, maple syrup, bunch of rashers, lemon, butter, sugar, the whole works. That way can have a few different combinations. Plenty of hot strong tea.

    We have pancakes every 3-4 weeks at weekends.

    Nope, love thin crepe style pancakes with Nutella and crushed walnuts!

    Or simple with just sugar.

    No lemon!

    I like nothing on them. I just like the taste of them by themselves.

    Like mine well done, and don’t give a **** about what the pancake snobs think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,324 ✭✭✭JustAThought


    a few with lemon and a crunchy layer if sugar -rilled up snd re-doused in more lemon.

    I do like one or two with sliced bananas and afew squares of lindt dark chocolate melted in.

    If it survived Christmas a little pour of baileys over the bananna and chocolate pancakes is divine.

    All rolled -not served flat and none of this triangle heathenism.

    cant wait for tomorrow!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭beejee


    No matter how many pancakes you manage to eat, I ate one more.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭beejee


    Kinder bars rolled up in a hot pancake. It's the new thing and also the best thing.

    Nice thick blueberry pancakes with a side of rashers for my breakfast tomorrow. Banana and chocolate chip pancakes, apple and cinnamon pancakes tomorrow evening for kids and better half (and possibly me).

    Better than OK. It’s great. Pancake Tuesday is almost as much fun as Zombie Jesus Chocolate Sunday.

    Both of those are so much better than Pubs Closed Friday.

    A bit of sugar and lemon juice is perfect on pancakes, especially as a treat before Nail Jesus to a Cross Day.

    Lots of fun. Don’t much see the point of Soot Smudge Wednesday to be fair. Maybe it should become Cheeseburger Wednesday in future.

    Don’t worry folks, I’ll pray for it. You’re welcome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,358 ✭✭✭Ninthlife


    Oxford lunch tuesday or jamaican ginger cake tuesday would suit me better

    Zombie Jesus chocolate Sunday is my favourite. I'd love it if I actually had a zombie chocolate Jesus. I think Lindt are missing a trick there, much more holiday appropriate than a feckin choccy bunny with a gold wrapper and a bell.
