Pancakes

[fivemack]

Strong Cheddar, sliced thinly, as always works well in pancakes. Manchego cheese from Spain, despite its wallet-numbing cost, is much of a muchness; I'm sure there's some specific recipe for it, but I don't know what it is.

Corned beef is somehow bland unless there's extra cheese in the pancake; Sainsbury's Finest Stewed Steak works fairly well but could do with another vegetable.

The old favorite sugar-and-lemon requires more careful calibration of quantity than I can muster; I ended up with lemon syrup all over the newspaper. Apricot jam isn't bad.

That was supper. Atkins will be spinning in his grave.

Yar-boo to Atkins, and what is wrong with lemon syrup? :-)

There is little wrong with lemon syrup, but the ideal substrate for its consumption is not the TV guide and quick-crossword page of the Manchester Guardian. And I have a regrettable level of decorum that kept me from licking the plate clean of the lemon syrup that had escaped the pancake and not reached the newspaper.
