What do you know about pancakes?

Don't flatter yourself! Your question is designed to raise a flap, Jack! The wording is floury, you're egging us on, you're half baked and should take a powder. Jul 31 04, 8:06 PM

Sorry, potterguy, he didn't say puncakes. I'm sure with my skillet trivia I can toss off a few: Every Shrove Tuesday, there is a famous pancake race at Olney in Buckinghamshire. This is said to commemorate a woman who was in the middle of cooking them when the church bells rang so ran to church carrying her pan. Small Scotch pancakes are known in Scotland as drop-scones. In France, pancakes are called crepes of course and Russian ones called blini are the traditional accompaniment to caviare. There's probably some trivia in here somewhere: http://bcn.boulder.co.us/~lenzk/pancakes1.html And Wikipedia's always good for this sort of thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancakes The Pancake Theorem states that however you arrange two pancakes flat on a plate, there always exists a straight line that has an equal area of pancake on each side (you might like to know, Ham, that the 3-D equivalent of this is called the Ham Sandwich Theorem). I could continue the battery with this: http://www.foodreference.com/html/fpancakes.html Jul 31 04, 9:58 PM
