It is pancake day! I know what I am definitely making for dinner (though I should have planned ahead better and bought maple syrup to NZ with me from Canada...yikes it's expensive and in teeny weeny bottles here!)
When I was growing up, maple syrup on pancakes was never a thing, it was always lemon and sugar. Now as an adult, we have maple syrup, fake maple syrup, golden syrup (and lemons and sugar too!)
And even though I care not a bit about using up the eggs before Lent, I am going to make pancakes for tea tonight, yummo :)
Ti's not just Catholics. Also maple syrup is modern & North American. Jam from local fruit, not even honey. Long ago birch syrup was a thing in Ireland and still in parts of mainland Europe. You can buy real Canadian maple syrup here in Ireland, but I only know one person keen on it. Lent is why St. Patrick became popular, a Feast day trumps a Fast Day. Pancakes here are really Drop Scones, not thin & rollable.

@platypus Oh yeah, this post was TOTALLY confusing because I'm in New Zealand, so it's tomorrow here already :)
I just really love pancakes!

in reply to Joe • •@Joe @Prof. Sam Lawler they aren't a thing here in Italy either, but sweet stuff made of a batter with eggs in it and then fried definitely are.
so I guess it's the same idea, just a different variant
