Tossers!

[june]

or flippers?

Which are you?

American style, Scotch, crepe, savory, sweet, filled or just with lemon and sugar?

How do you like your pancakes?

I'll make loads for my husband who will gobble them all - any type any style with any filling ;D

I don't care for thick American style pancakes that are usually served with butter and sweet syrup such as Maple Syrup. They're too heavy. Not what I want for breakfast.

I do enjoy French Crepes but only the savory variety. I remember very large buckwheat crepes called Galettes from Brittany that are served with a combination of sausage and melted cheese. Another great one was from a creperie near Paris that was made with perfectly ripe Brie cheese and ham. Delicious.

I've often wondered why creperies have never gained a foothold in America. They make a very good inexpensive quick meal. I'd rather go to a creperie that a fast food restaurant such as MacDonalds.

Another type of pancake I like would be a potato pancake for breakfast. We call them hash browns. Coarsely grate a red skinned unpeeled potato. Blot dry with paper towels. Fry in sizzling hot vegetable oil until well browned on one side. Flip and brown the other side. Serve with fried eggs over easy and a quarter inch (cm) thick piece of fried ham or Canadian bacon.

I'm doing Rosti - which are just like hash browns for hubby tomorrow with fillet steak and peppercorn sauce (and all the trimmings).

I'll have a salad ;D

I am so pleased that you clarified your meaning, June, as when I saw the title of the thread I was anticipating some kind of diatribe against politicians or similar targets of ridicule!

[DAS (formerly BushAdmirer)]

Rosti with steak and peppercorn sauce does sound good. Yummm.

Here is an example of a Buckwheat galette with eggs and cheese as you might find in a typical French creperie.

I'm totally confused now.

What does masturbating have to do with pancakes or crepes?

And what is a flipper then?

sorry

[Big Lin]

Nothing, Chris. It's just that the word 'tosser' means that in British slang so when the thread was posted Mike made one of his jokes, that's all.

(Back to the thread, foodies!)

[Big Lin]

Basically when you're cooking pancakes you can either throw them up high (tossing them) or just turn them over (flipping them).

I'm sorry if Mike confused you, Chris!

thanks for enlightening me Linda

I am a flipper and only flip when the pancake is as soft as a baby's bottom

We used to have pancakes, eggs and salmon for breakfast as a kid

i can toss and flip...but not at the same time....
