Hey, people.. I think we went off the main course - crispy human. These are all deserts, no matter is there jam, marmalade or Maple syrup.
That’s not a pancake though…
This is a pancake…
No, this is a Pfannkuchen :P

Isn’t that just German for pancake? See, the Germans make sense! 
That’s a crepe!
That’s a crepe!
Definitely a pancake… see, it comes with lemon and sugar.
American pancakes are drop scones.
I find it amusing that so many of us use the same language, but words mean completely different things… England did invent it though, I won’t be accepting American or Australian English untill it comes out of beta testing ;D

AHAHAA I piss my pants.
And what about Scots? They have very special English too.

Can’t really criticise the Scots… my ancestors were Scottish border reavers. It can be very hard to understand at times, particularly when your the only one in a group of Scots. Broad Yorkshire accents are just as bad… They recently had to give rural doctors training in how to understand some Yorkshire terms.

Definitely a crepe then. Lemon and sugar on pancakes is shite, it just turns into soggy paste. You want Canadian Maple and whipped butter on those, Oh yeh.

Aussie English is pretty much the same as UK English. We won’t be aligned with those yanks and their rampant Z’s!
My favourite is “fanny”. In American it means your bottom… In Aussie, and I’m pretty sure English too, it means ahh… front-bottom. Can make for some extra-amusing lines in US TV shows

Lemon and sugar is obviously some traditional recipe but it don`t seems very tasty to me. Suggar and nuts is something different. In one part of my country people used to fill the pancakes with mix of sweet cheese and eggs with some gridded lemon skin and than bake it in oven.
Good thing about pancakes is that you can put whatever you like in it, just like pizza. That is why is so international.
I think you’re talking about savoury crepes - best for mains/entree, those kinds of fillings (or sometimes cooked into the crepes like I’ve had with cheese and spring onion/shallots/whatever they’re called where you live)
…the lemon/sugar thing is better for dessert, or maybe breakfast… Such a versatile dish - just like a pizza, as you said 
Ahh food. One of the very few things as cool as midiboxing
Best is with boiled eggs and asparaguses (possibly green) a bit of virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.
What about laser cutting pancakes?
The resident chef speaks!

*barf* I don’t like savoury crepes myself. But I have a sweet tooth

You must have missed the rest of this highly important and productive on-topic thread

Indeed. I have a firm belief that intelligent and creative people can become excellent chefs with experience, and I’ve always considered myself a bit of a chef in perpetual training…
The whole pancate-semantics debate though. Tricky business. In Russia there’s blinis, which are much like savoury crepes. In Finland there’s letut (Finnish) or plättar (Swedish), which are “Swedish pancakes” according to my 1950’s Betty Crockers cookbook. In my experience blinis, crepes, and Swedish pancakes are all non-rising. The Swedes (and Finns) make something called pannkaka / pannukakku, which does rise but is not fried in a pan but baked in an oven. American pancakes are, in my experience always made with a rising component. Older recepies employed yeast, but today it’s practically always baking soda or baking powder.
OK, out of trivia now.
I like my pancakes with maple syrup, and my crepes with Nutella.
Somewhat on topic… I’m going to laser cut Jesus onto a steak and sell it on ebay for $20,000.
England did invent it though,
Actually, the English language comes from West Germanic, as do German and Dutch.
Hence the English languange has a lot more in common with German than it does with say, Celtic or Welsh.

In reverse, a friend of mine was a bit gobsmacked when he found out:
Australian “Durex” = brand of adhesive tape = UK “Sellotape”
UK “Durex” = Leading brand of condom …
And a cultural collison from a London gig with a US Rapstar.
Rapstar’s PA to on stage manager:“Where’s the M********n sound engineer ?”
Stage manager:“He’s just gone outside - he’ll be back in a minute”
Rapstar’s PA:“What the F*** is he doing outside, we want him back on the desk now”
Stage manager, (patient voice):, “Look, he’s just gone out to smoke a fag - he’ll be back in a minute”
Rapstar’s PA, (rather quieter voice):“Jeez, these guys are really hardcore”
Official translation “Smoke a fag”, UK = partake of a cigarette, Rapper US stylee = “shoot a homosexual”.
Heh…
Honda Fitta, sold somewhere in southern Europe. In Swedish, however, fitta is slang for cunt…
Also, I totally forgot about Finnish and/or Swedish spinach pancakes and blood pancakes. (I kid you not, great with lingonberry jam )

Are the blood pancakes anything like black-pudding?
