i also hope the upcoming album will bring in scores of new fans here, as well as bring back the old ones.

Yeah. I pwn'd almost the whole first page last night and bumped a whole bunch of old threads because it was so quiet and boring. That made me feel weird, though, like I had done something wrong.

yummy! I'd eat one right now! :D

 

Do the British eat American or European pancakes? :shy:

 

they're lovely indeed.

 

erm european i'd say even though it's kinda weird.

 

a pancake here is just egg, flour, milk and salt/ sugar. so it's what other european countries [or the swiss anyway] call an omelette. it's kinda similar to crepes but crepes are thinner.

 

an omelette here is just egg, you might add a little bit of milk.

 

i think american pancakes are thicker and they're always sweet (?)

Omelettes...here, that's green peppers, onion, bacon, sausage, ham, four different kinds of cheeses, and some egg.

you get that in britain too. but i think it's usually called spanish omelette if it's with peppers, onions, sausages,... :idea2:

american pancakes. always sweet. usually with maple syrup.

 

do they not have these in britain/europe?!

yes, we do. they just aren't always sweet and they look a bit different.

what's the difference? are european pancakes like crepes? thinner' date=' etc?[/quote']

there is a difference. American pancakes are those thick ones that you posted, Slovene (I'll speak for my case) are the thin ones which look like this:

and they're like crepes i guess.

for me, omelette consists of the same ingredients as pancakes, but also vegetables, meat etc. but we rarely eat them. And they're salty, not sweet as pancakes are. :)

Its gonna burst to a million pieces!!1

ahh. we call those sorts of pancakes crepes, but they're like really really thin. they're generally stuffed with stuff, like fruit or cheese or nutella (my favorite!). and they're not that common, really, unless you've got to give a presentation on french food for your high school french class and your mom happens to have a crepe maker. i wouldn't even know what they were if not for middle and high school french classes :P

 

omlettes are always made with eggs here. interesting that they're different in europe!

You guys are making me hungry!!!

 

Someone said they hope some of the old members come back...I really hope that too. Of course the new members will be awesome too, but I'd love to see some of the old guard back to play!:D

most of these threads make me hungry these days :dozey:

caramel, pancakes, crumpets/english muffins, ice cream, pringles, and now even muffins.

 

reminds me that i need to go shopping...

lol. I have tonnes of food, but none of it is the food in these threads, so I need to go shopping too...MUST.HAVE.CRUMPETS!

hahah :D we make them with milk, eggs, flour, sugar and some mineral water. And then we usually fill them with marmelade or Nutella (my favourite as well! :D). They're delicious! :D

oh crumpets. :D Once I was talking to someone about crumpets, replacing words in Radioead song titles with them and it was hilarious. :laugh4:

^haha! that sounds HILARIOUS. "motion picture crumpet." "crumpet crumpet." "crumpets down." "no crumpets." "crumpetsnatchers." "fake plastic crumpets."

"planet crumpets."

(oh, i'm having too much fun with this...)

 

i just find the word "crumpets" to be freaking hysterical too, much like the word "muffins" (see the "holy muffins!" thread). and of course, today i ate a crumpet/english muffin for breakfast instead of my regular bagel simply because of this thread. it was amazing.

Haha, best thing ever. Crumpetsnatchers? Fricking hilarious. Crumpet Falling Into Place, Weird Crumpets and Paranoid Crumpets are good ones as well :lol: Not to mention Crumpet At The Door. Oh dear me.

oh dear. it's not late enough in the day for me to go crazy on here yet :freak:

 

"fake plastic crumpets" was my personal favorite. how i wish i could use the word "crumpets" over here without being looked at like i was from mars. it's SO much cooler than saying english muffins.

Once you start, you cannot end :wacko: And the best one we (me and that guy) made up was Winter Crumpetland. I was instantly proclaimed as his fav person :laugh4: *proud* I'll search for that page on atease hahah. :laugh4:

 

 

And now I'm listening to The National Crumpet. LIVE!

And remember, Meeting Crumpets is Easy. :sneaky:

 

 

Chelsea, Now I'll kinda steal your joke and I'll be saying Holy Crumpet from now on :P

currently listening to "crumpet police" myself

 

AHAHAHA, crumpet police!

Hahaha!

Classic.

 

I havn't listened to Hail To The Crumpet all the way through for a while though. May give that a listen soon.

Sorry for replying so late, I didn't see you posted. :(

Well, I doubt it originates in Norway, it's just that Nora is a character in one of Ibsen's books, and your name reminds me of it. :)

 

no problem Nina :)

oh, funny that I thought my name is from the Norway too....:lol:

anyway, nice to meet you....:)

her crumpet hairdo .... :D

 

crumpioteque!

Try: "We Suck Young Crumpet" :laugh3:

Ok frankly that sounds fairly disturbing.

haha, oh that sounds SO disturbing. and wrong.

 

anway, loves, i'm off to get dinner. i'm planning to eat a crumpet with whatever i get in honor of the thread. besides, i can't resist.

 

you KNOW i'll be back with more insanity and hilarosity, though.
