lenquixote66 Posted September 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I recently saw an interview with a person who said he puts ketchup on his pancakes.I never heard of that and would never do that. The only topping I would have is Maple Syrup . Any others ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Harters Posted September 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Sugar and lemon. That's for European style pancakes (the sort the French and North Americans call "crepes") Although, on the occasions when I have the thick American style pancakes for breakfast (I buy them from the supermarket and microwave them), I usually have that with maple or golden syrup (depending on what's in the cupboard). Ketchup with pancakes sounds vile. I'd only consider that with, say, a bacon or sausage sandwich at breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Harters Posted September 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2023 My other particular like is a pancake cake. You make 10 or so pancakes and stack them up, layering apple puree (or very thin slices of apple) between each one. Of course, your pancakes will have gone cold by now, so the cake needs to be covered with foil and heated through in the oven for a few minutes. Cut into wedges, as you would for any cake, and serve with cream or ice cream. And a couple of other options that we do occasionally. Smear each pancake with Nutella, jam (raspberry is good) or a chocolate sauce and roll up. Dusting of icing sugar and a short blast under the grill to caramelise the sugar.

CntPAcruiser Posted September 30, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2023 As a child, I liked plain Karo syrup on my pancakes--wow, so sweet! Now, my preference is butter and cinnamon sugar, though occasionally I will used homemade jam instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. No, no idea. My family history is Eastern Europe. I never saw anyone put syrup on french toast until I moved to Virginia. Also, i never saw anyone put ketchup on eggs until i moved to Virginia. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Harters Posted September 30, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Thanks. I wonder if it made its way via Eastern European immigrants to America. If so, then it might be more an American/Mexican thing than traditional Mexican. I've had some great food in Virginia over the years. Perhaps my favourite of the several states I've visited and, certainly, the one I've visited most often. I don't think I've ever eaten French toast (or "eggy bread" as it's usually called here) and wouldnt really be sure whether to have it with syrup. It's quite sweet, isn't it? So probably would have it with syrup. Ketchup with eggs? Absolutely. With any breakfasty eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crème Fraiche made its way to Mexico - along with many other French ideas and foods - with Mexico’s first and only Emperor, Maximilian von Habsburg, who was Napoleon’s Cousin.

shipgeeks Posted November 11, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 11, 2023 On pancakes, I like dark brown sugar if I'm not using maple syrup. Re French toast, which I understand the French are not familiar with, I'm wondering if it was based on Croque Monsieur, which has thick bread soaked in eggs and milk before adding the fillings. Anyone know? Re ketchup and eggs, we made breakfast here for some friends a number of years ago. As I was setting the table, the wife said "I can't find the ketchup in your fridge". I didn't know why she would look for ketchup for a breakfast. "For the scrambled eggs." ??? I had never heard of that. And I have no interest in trying it! DH reminds me that we've never had ketchup in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they knew it as pain perdu which, to my mind, is a much more poetic term than our British "eggy bread" (although it's not common here).

JourneyJim Posted November 13, 2023 #20 Share Posted November 13, 2023 For me, maple syrup is definitely the #1 topping for my pancakes, but honey makes a good substitute when I'm all out of syrup. 🥞 But I would never put ketchup on my pancakes!
