    You’re all wrong.

    The best pancakes are topped with roasted peppers, courgettes and mushrooms with feta cheese. Gamechangingly incredible meal.

    Rummy .. I thought that was what you got from eating too many mussels

    This apparently is one of the ingredients

    3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau)

    no wonder I loved them.

    Okay stop right there Neil…I’m a convert.😋🥞🍹

    Only joking about the Mussels, when we went to Belgium you couldn’t find a Restaurant selling anything else and I hate them. :-(

    Quelle…that’s a very adventurous pancake love anything with Feta.

    Ian – Try Morello cherries and whipped cream next year… I’ve no idea how you got through a whole pot of Bon Maman choc orange but if it made you happy then that’s job done.. :good:

    Hope everyone had a great pancake day and here’s to next year… :bye: Jac

    Some lovely menus and ways of doing things.
    Quelle farce you should change the moniker to Quelle Trump as you so often come up trumps and no exception on this occasion.
    I miss the good old pancake race down the high street.
    The kids like chocolate on theirs….

    I’ll certainly be trying some of these. Fish wins the day as a starter freshly caught whole bass worked into two lovely fillets. Fresh as daisies. Boat to kitchen sink to pan. Shared the prep duties I gutted, my good lady descaled and filetted and I’ve cooked it. Lightly Pan fried. Guinness and any wine as good an accompaniment as anything.

    I have to agree with Neil – crepes with chocolate sauce and drizzled in Grand Marnier is a winner.

    Thank you for the kind words, sporting sam. Your fish dish has me licking my lips.

    It seems that the conclusion to draw is: pancakes are amazing and one can have them with a huge variety of flavours and fillings. Everyone’s a winner!

    I’d be pushing my luck on the lips licking stakes and I drive my family mad with it but we had steaks the other day rib eye for us adults slightly thicker cut by my butcher than you’d get in the supermarket. Superheat the pan then drop in the steaks 🥩 turn almost immediately and repeatedly turn. They don’t take much cooking and need to be dished up rare.
    The lucky teens enjoyed sirloin steaks one wanted rare the other well done “but juicy” which mean not red.
    Just add chips preferably crispy to soak up the juices and sauce, along with mushrooms and more vegetables . The three girls settle for peppercorn sauce mustard yours of a packet. Me? I’ve nipped round to an old neighbours front garden which is full of Jerusalem artichokes. I transplanted tubers from here to my allotment in spring last year. I’d soon used up this years new crop and although now I wish I left it a frost or two for more mature tubers, I enjoyed eating it and sharing it around the community. Jerusalems can be boiled down to make a very tasty sauce with the aid of crème fresh or double cream or just plain milk. Once boiled down remove the skin and proceed. Add to another pan and add butter use a blender to ensure all plant used is eligible.
    With a small amount of garlic you have a beautiful sauce to pour over your steak 🥩 enjoy.

    Pancake Day is one where when someone says “What a tosser” can be taken as a compliment. :whistle:

    The local bbc radio station ran a very successful campaign for several years called “don’t be a Tosser.” It was an anti litter drive and won several national awards.
    And then BBC swung the axe on regionals fulfilment of the phrase.
    A bit like those bank ads where the smug banker says “ and look, they’ve even spelt banker wrong”.
    And his assistant says “ no they haven’t”….
