Of course she says they are the same as French crepes, but I tell her she only thinks that because she went to finishing school. She's in for a surprise tomorrow when I make shitty flat two-ingredient pancakes for her without bubbles, served with her choice of either lemon and sugar or golden syrup on its own.
Make some thick-ass flapjacks and annihilate her with bulky flavour.
lived in the UK my whole life and only ever had oat sugar and butter flapjacks, not that garbage
That picture is literally just what you described with added pumpkin seeds or something. Flapjacks are just oats and sugar and whatever else you want to add I think.
You're not capturing the soft and gooey texture of a flapjack. Typically you make with just rolled oats and honey or golden syrup, and maybe chuck in some raisins. Granola bars are hard and crunchy.
What flaps or jacks about a granola bar? What the fuck is going on on that island
What the fuck. I thought they called it a crunchy-crunchy toodle-oo stick which is a - cough - mouthful so a "crunchy" for short.
We've already got something by that name though, Crunchies are chocolate covered honeycomb bars.
I stand corrected. Terribly sorry. I apologize unreservedly.
Engl*sh food is either cultural appropriation or a crime against humanity
Classic British food is great. Inb4 jellied eels or beans on toast.
Beans on toast is a top-5 earth lunch dish and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
British pancakes are just a slightly thicker crepe because it gets flipped. It's just a poorly made crepe, dude. Same ingredients cooked almost identically.
Yeah, cause crepes are good. I just don't think the br*tish should be allowed to pretend they invented something that they totally didn't.
I'm dangerously addicted to the tesco ready made pancakes that I can just throw into the microwave then drown in lemon juice. Sometimes I'll just eat an entire pack in one go... Which is like 1257 calories
Why not add like a little bit of lemon juice to a much more butter and have a much more better pancake
Hae ye tried one, bruv? Seems they're fine...
I guess so. Uh, what's 2-ingredient about the recipe? Seems like it needs more than 2 actually...
I had a coworker act surprised that you were supposed to add eggs and it turns out he was literally just pouring a mixture of flour and water into the pan.
Fucking helll!!!
(This is not the medieval or pirate era, eggs and sugar are not a rare luxury food item anymore. Evolve or die, - To your Brit count friend)
Are British pancakes similar to American pancakes?
Like, fluffy?
All pancakes suck. Crepes are cool cause you can put food in them. I refuse to eat sugar flour and water as a meal.
No, you will eat the pancakes, and you will like it, you toton de calice de tabarnak!
I'm certain crepes were brought to England in the Norman conquest but the English decided there was too much going on there and made pancakes.
You said I must enjoy the pancakes and swore at me in French, I took that as a you'll adopt the American and English crappy pancake and like it joke. My response was going off thar assumption and I made up a fake history of English pancakes being based on them perverting crepes after they were introduced to britannia during the Norman conquest. I thought we were riffing.
Oh okay... I guess I was kinda half joking...
Edit: that being said, confusing Canadian French with Parisian French, is like confusing the Omaha landing as being done by the British...
That being said, I'm not Franco-Canadian, I'm just playing a character that curses in Quebecois french...
I'm going to stay out of this struggle session since I eat thin pancakes that my friends call crepes but they're pancakes to me dammit
Scottish Pancakes are much better. Fluffier and fuller more like American pancakes but probably less corn syrupy and smaller.
How would you mix up crepes and pancakes? Those are entirely different pastries-
looks up English pancakes
What the fucking hell is that? Can TERF island make a single variety of food that isn't either complete dogshit or a worse version of something they stole?
