Are you one of those people, or are you referring to crepes?

I hate sweets. I eat them with cheese. Especially cheese from the farm, not the imitation in the market.

Anyway, I find it sad that some people call these two foods the same. One is traditional, the other is from.the factory, directly to the shoppers. With some exceptions. Same with football. Same old same old.

I had sworn to myself never to post in TET, but I am breaking my vow of silence for one reason and one reason only.

What in blue blazes are you on about? American pancakes aren't just some factory-made shit. I know dozens of people in person that make them from scratch all the time, and am quite certain that there are at least thousands that do so throughout the US. They're not some mystical foodstuff that only a handful of 82nd-level culinary masters know the secret to making. It's not some well-hidden recipe that was only handed down through bloodlines via songs of folklore. And they're certainly not just some bland replicated stock filler food churned out of a smoggy industrial complex deep in the heart of the Urbanised States.

I'm sure there are plenty of players who quietly sit back without responding and go on to other threads. We don't hear from them very often. They're the quiet 99%. Mostly we hear from people like the OP and a small group of discontented players about our many and various failures. I truly think that most of "the community" probably thinks we're doing a good job, or simply doesn't think about it at all.

Then why has America made it seem so? And anyway, I don't know where you saw that, but in my 4 years in America, not one person has said anything about pancakes. And believe me, I talk about food a LOT.

what are you talking about pancakes are easy to make from scratch, flour eggs milk water, a tad of cornstarch, whip it up pour it in a griddle, a couple minutes, flip, ...pancakes.

Immoren's pancakes are exactly like the ones I ate last week. Yours are a bit thicker, but they're still what I was talking about.
Perfect and delicious.
