Yum!

Ugh, I tried ordering our packzi from a new bakery and they are a terrible disappointment. Wish I’d gone to the old standby instead. Especially for a once a year treat!

I've done savory crepes before. Swiss cheese & mushroom, smoked salmon, spinach & cream cheese.

Just remembered I'm going to a gathering tomorrow evening and need to bring a snack/dessert. Anyone have a suggestion for something that travels well and is easily shareable?

Oh god it’s pancakes OP. Chill the F out.

Welcome to the food board where we find joy in obsessing over food! Hope you’ll catch some of the joy!

That part is fine. It’s when she doubled back and wants some sort of commendation for cooking Rosa parks pancakes in black history month and to make an educational lesson for the kids on it. Just make some friggin peanut butter pancakes without the performative “in our family we are allies” stuff.

PP was surely joking about the award. She alerted people to a fun recipe and noted the connection to Black History Month. I think you find BHM triggering.

OP here. I was totally planning to nominate myself for a MOTY--thinking about the Humanities Division, Intersectionality Subsection? Maybe I'll get some extra points for the race/gender/religion angle? Should I also teach my kids about Rosa Parks' inspiration for the Disability Rights Movement?

Good thing PP stepped in to give me some much needed perspective since I wasn't possibly making fun of myself for turning a fun dinner into a history/religion lecture.

We are going to try laskiaispulla inspired pancakes. Cardamon flavored with whipped cream and fruit compote.

They will either be really good or really not. We also have paczki. So, it will all be good in the end.

Agreed that there’s no religious obligation to make your house free of these ingredients. It’s not like house-cleaning for Pesach, but I think that people probably did want to use up their fats like butter since they might go rancid during the long Lent back when Christians fasted the entire period not just Ash Wednesday, Fridays, and Good Friday.

The vast majority of people with precious perishable ingredients are going to plan to use them up, especially in a time when food took a much larger part of disposable income, and when there wasn't refrigeration.

So, yes, there was a indulgent piece, but using things up was also part of it.

I made that recipe a few months ago! It was quite lovely, I'd make it again. Served it with a raspberry coulis/syrup to make it PB and J ish. Worked nicely

Our Church does a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper.

We eat donuts
