Nearly the end of a romance before it started. Our family always had the Yorkshire puddings first with onion gravy then lunch, that was the Yorkshire way. Had met Joan and was invited to her home for Sunday lunch. We were served the pudding and gravy only Joan had hers with butter and jam. I was flabbered and gasted all at the same time, how could she desacrate a good Yorkshire like that. I did manage to forgive her and she made traditional puddings but hers were always with butter and jam, never did manage to cure her of that odd idioscincrassy.
Pancakes thin with butter sugar and fresh lemon none of that weird stuff in yellow bottles.
Just had ours, didn't have the frying pan up so much, didn't set the fire alarm off this time. Fresh lemon and caster sugar, with currents. Did a plain one for the dogs.
We will have ours this evening with fresh lemon and sugar. The French are always surprised by that, they have them with just sugar or jam or Nutella.
But sometimes we have stuffed savoury pancakes which I buy as they are made with brown flour and are stronger. I stuff them with chicken and mushrooms in a sauce or with salmon and asparagus, or ham and cheese, like they have them in the pancake restaurants "crêperies" in Brittany. Not just for pancake day.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

We, too. Ham, mushrooms and cheese for the first course followed by sweet ones; this year fresh mangos and cream, yum.

Going the American way and having blueberry pancakes topped with maple syrup. There's a nice recipe on BBC good food.
Enjoy everyone ?
