Apparently, pancakes are called pancakes because
(a) They're cooked in a pan and
(b) They're made from cake mix.
I disagree, coz
(a) It's a skillet, not a pan and
(b) If it were cake mix, it wouldn't turn into Yorkshire Puddings in the oven.
Although, you could stuff a Yorkshire with Jam and Cream and pass it off as a deep fried vicky sponge.
Toad in the hole - bung a banana in, throw out the gravy and slap on some maple syrup or toffee sauce for a delicious deep fried banoffee pie!
And how come it's Yorkshire pudding? Puddings are desserts - all spongey treaclyness and custard, as opposed to a crispy crunchy battery lump floating in gravy. At least Steak & Kidney pudding looks like a sponge pudding...
....well, looks more a créme caramel really, especially when Mr Chippy pours the gravy on top like the caramel sauce...
Oh, what I wouldn't do for Pudding, Chips, Peas and Gravy right now!!
Pudding indeed - even the word sounds some pervy illicit activity... One for the Profanisaurus, methinks!
Pudding: The act of pulling one's pud. Or something.
