And who can blame them, who would want to miss out on a day dedicated to pancake flipping and greediness.
The pancake "pålegg" buffet |
Normally I would stick to lemon and sugar, or a swirl of warm chocolate sauce if I were feeling wild. However, as a pancake day pioneer in this land, I may have gone overboard presenting the case for this most delicious day. I prepared a selection of pancake "pålegg":
Strawberry compote and whipped cream
Banana and chocolate sauce
Apples with brown sugar and cinammon
and of course, the British classic: lemon and sugar
I made everyone try the lemon and sugar and the majority were converted- one in particular. I quote "This is really good, I mean good...like, tell my grandma good".
Those with keen eyes might notice a block of brown cheese at the end of the table. I didn't grace it with a label for it doesn't deserve it. I bought it by accident in a tired stupor and had hoped that this evening would provide an opportunity to dispose of it. Unfortunately there is quite a lot left- but I have some other ideas after reading about a recent tunnel closing, brown cheese fueled fire that burned for 5 days! No fire lighters needed on my next camping trip.
