Pancake day

[Giggles]

I was being serious. That's where it did come from for every pancake day I remember growing up.

Ah. Carry on.

I could never understand lemon on them at all (or on anything really because then all you can taste is lemon). My Da butters them and puts sugar on it then :sick:

[Disco]

Sugar and butter? That's a new one on me, then again my grandfather used to butter a piece of bread then spread clotted cream on it followed by golden syrup.

[Giggles]

I'm fully behind the man if there's clotted cream involved.

[Pepe]

Butter and sugar is basically the only way to eat crepes (which is what those are) isn't it?

You've probably never really had butter.

"Clotted cream is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly."

Seems like just the thing for crepes tbh.

[Pepe]

That is a good point, as most butter over here is complete shite. My wife has high butter standards though. You could also find alright butter in Mexico.

The butter we buy for the day to day claims to be Irish butter btw.

[Giggles]

Is it white or yellow?

[Pepe]

Yellow. Well, not yellow, yellow, but close to yellow than white.

[Pepe]

Can't remember the name of the thing, but it comes in a golden package, so you know it's legit.

[bruhnaldo]

How can butter really be bad though. It's butter.

[Lewis]

Can't quite wrap my head around the guy who said people eat spaghetti for show being a butter hipster.

[Giggles]

Yellow. Well, not yellow, yellow, but close to yellow than white.

Might be real stuff then. I could only ever find the white crap in Austin or Arizona.

Dairygold or Kerrygold? The latter is banned in Wisconsin, can't remember why but that can be the fun fact for the day.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Those are not crepes. Crepes are very very thin, and more importantly, crepes are French.

Butter isn't a mess to eat with an identical tasting alternative that isn't though.

Kerrygold it is.

Please do tell

Fair enough, upon further inspection, those do look a bit thicker.

[Giggles]

Kerrygold it is.

Didn't realise they exported it. Wonder if it actually is exported or if they just contract out the brand?

I refute the fact that bolognese SIMPLY MUST be eaten with spaghetti and only spaghetti.

Someone will be finding it as we speak and I probably had a mare, but that was my point at the time.

lol i fucking love this board

There'll be some sort of alarm going off at John's and he'll be along soon. I don't think he's brought it up in a few days now.

[John]

It's been ages since I brought it up, but it did come to mind for me there in the same way it did Lewis and gave me a solid lol.

There's been a picture going round Twitter tonight of someone who puts tuna on his pancakes. That's as bad, if not worse than Hammer with his gravy.

[Shindig]

Oof. That's not a good mix.

[niko_cee]

Obligatory Guernsey butter is the best butter post.

It is though.

Sark butter is off the charts as well, but I don't know that they make it any more after they e-coli'd a bunch of people with it a few years ago (it's unpasteurised).

[igor_balis]

lurpak lightly salted is my favourite of the supermarket staples

[Lewis]

I buy whichever of Anchor/Lurpak is on offer.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lurpak is great.

[Baz]

So long as it comes wrapped in paper, it's alright.

[Boydy]

Thin pancakes are shit. The scotch ones are the best.

Got to love a bit of Channel Islands dairy pride. I'm going to visit a farm near Lewes soon since they've got Jersey cows there. Its a fiver to look at the animals, but it'll be well worth it.
