Is it wrong that I have a strange sense of pride in this thread?

REALLY? What do you call a pancake/ flapjack

In the USA, they're both the second picture. The difference being where you live in the country. And there are clearly no rice crispies in the first piccy.




{and for the record: the entire thread is silly... Amusing! but silly.

Fair enough, strange though... Over here they are completely different and never the twain shall meet.

Thank you, I know what was that about? Rice Crispies..?!

Agreed.

Hell - In the USA, Lager is still called "Beer", when it's clearly a satanic derivitive of rodent piss.

What the fudge...?! By Who?

I call that a scone (pronounced scon) as it is one.

That looks more like a pikelet or drop scone, its too thick for a pancake.

Awesome, only you and Karl Pilkinton have I ever seen use Pieklet.

How is that too thick for a pancake. That's a stack of 6 pancakes... do you guys treat crepes as pancakes?

Some people do, yeah. I guess that crepes are somewhat interchangeable with pancake over here depending on where you go

 

[HAL9000]

Also if your complaining about how we pronounce Jaguar, what the fuck is up with Hyundai... "Hundy?!" fuck that!

The rule for that in my little corner of the country is if you roll up fruit and/or cheese inside it, then it's definitely a crepe.

crepes are pancakes. As are pikelets, drop scones, welshcakes, etc etc.

Yep, I'd go with that.
