    Oh YES! Bacon and maple are a winning combo - I'll have to do ham or chicken and honey with cottage cheese/low fat cheese + a fried egg white - I'm hungry just writing this...

    I'm not religious but I've seen so many pancakes over the last few days I'm going to have to have them for tea, plus it will be a nice treat as I'm having a ct scan tonight.

    just a bit of sugar and lemon for me.

    You can make tasty crepes with just buckwheat flour mixed with water to a thin batter consistency. A pinch of salt helps too. Tricky to get them thin though.

    But I think we'll go for proper pancake batter today.

    Weirdo over here that doesn't like pancakes!!

    Well, I won't say I dislike them but I never crave pancakes and I eat them maybe once a year. Maybe if I could find a place that makes decent crepes?

    I already had my pancakes this morning. :)

    Flour, outs, flaxseed meal, almond milk, banana, walnuts, dark chocolate. I had them topped with stevia sweetened Greek yogurt and a mix of strawberries and rasberries. YUM!

    Remember though, when us brits talk about pancakes, we dont mean IHOP style pancakes, we mean what you across the pond call crepes.

    Yes, I will be having some, and being as I grew up across the pond, I will be embracing the inner american child in me, and having a bit of maple syrup. :)

    I also plan tp try some agave nectar on one, but I'm not so sure I'll like it on pancakes!

    And yet Tesco is selling *real* pancakes this week. I don't get it. If crêpes are pancakes, what does that make pancakes? And it isn't just "across the pond" that calls them that…considering it is a French word and they originated in Brittany!

    I struggle with this as well. Whenever I go to the US, I love a trip to IHOP from some pancakes. I tend to refer to them as american or buttermilk pancakes. But thenagain, are they not called the Scotch Pancake?

    It's all too confusing. Tonight though, I'll be having Crepes. Yum yum.

    Well this thread has cemented my decision to have a mess of pancakes this weekend.




    I don't think this is how a weight loss website is supposed to work? Oh well...

    LOL - yeah...I'm sitting here after logging my breakfast of skim milk, muesli cereal and a banana and thinking about how great pancakes would be.
