Pancake Day!

HTH

It's typically Anglo-centric, so not really. What they mean is that there is a class of baked good cooked on a pan or griddle known as pancakes. Crepes are a subgroup, but any sensible person on hearing merely the word "pancake" will naturally expect these:

So what would you expect if you asked for a scotch pancake or a drop scone?

I wouldn't say "drop scone". That's a bizarre instruction, perhaps from a terse, hallucinating armed cop.

I don't need to say "Scotch pancake", that's only said by people who are silly enough to not give crepes or crumpets their proper name.

It does, by the way, eventually.

And its time to remind everyone that pancakes (of any form) are not the traditional thing to celebrate Shrove Tuesday in Scotland!

What should be consumed up here is Feestycock - Baked mealie balls!

It's Shrove Tuesday, and today we have crumpets or crepes (same thing). Yesterday I had pancakes, which look like this:

Pancakes ^

Beaten to it

Only crumpet is colloquial for a sexually charged lass - probably derived from strumpet. If you asked for butter with your hot crumpet you'd get a 'fnar' and an elbow to the ribs here.

I agree that you probably don't need to say 'scotch' due to your locality, just as you don't say 'swede' for a swedish turnip... but you are way off the mark with crepes being the same as crumpets

 

[maomao]

What do you call these in Scotchland Danny:?

In our house it was weirder. Dues to a Scottish mother and a francophile English father a pancake was of the scottish type, a crepe was the french kind, very thin, what you call a crumpet was an 'english pancake', only eaten on pancake day and a crumpet was the above.

 

[mr steev]

A crepe apparently

I don't know what a Swedish turnip is.

Well, clearly ordinary crumpets are a very different thing to English crumpets, and other related products. But that's a minefield, my friend. For example, what are these:

English crumpets.

Pikelets for the win in the crumpet department.

This returns only one google result.
And its this page..

Scottish people are hilarious.

Fuck pancakes, especially Scottish pancakes

One of them fucked up my toaster last week

Well it would, wouldn't it. That's why they're called 'pan'cakes not 'toaster'cakes.

I'd call the larger one a traditional crumpet or a crumpet pancake and the one above it Warburtons rubbery shite.

What's this?

The smaller one is a crumpet, the flatter one a piklet

Tip - Things not to cook in a toaster:

Bacon, bananas, ice lollies, custard, peanuts, baked beans, your tongue.

Not necessarily. Have used it for years to do Scotch pancakes

Mostly horse, probably.

To reheat supermarket bought scotch pancakes I hope. For one awful moment I thought you'd poured batter into your toaster.

It's a dummy, so called because it keeps your quiet whilst you do the shopping.

Google hits upon the DM!

I was dismayed when Greggs the bakers opened an outlet at Newcastle Airport.

These ubiquitous dens of unhealthy "food" have a lot to answer for here in the North East in my opinion.

Up here, a Greggs' sausage roll is called a "Geordie Dummy" and judging by the number of babys in pushchairs who will inevitable have a cholesterol-laden pastry shoved into their mouths at the first sign of upset, the name is quite apt I believe.

Furthermore, judging by the rush for the outlet by many after disembarking from the aircraft, the reality is that Gregg's may be deemed as selling a 'useful' product!

Where many airports around the world have food outlets where caviar, sushi, champagne and other exotic delicacies can be obtained (albeit at a price), we will always have Gregg's!
