So who could have known that pancakes with bacon and eggs was an American thing? I certainly didn't until I ventured beyond america's shores to discover that the concept of eating bacon with a side of yummy syruppy pancakes is just plain weird to most if not all Aussies. My husband in particular finds the idea repulsive... to him bacon and eggs should be eaten with bbq sauce (the way he feels most foods should be eaten) and pancakes are a dessert. And so this last sunday when I made our family blueberry pancakes with hashbrowns and eggs Mick decided to show us all how an "Aussie eats a pancake"... at first we couldn't believe all the stuff he was piling on.... first adding not just blueberries to the batter but bannanas as well, and then topping it off with vanilla icecream, and lots of golden syrup... yeah you eat it that way it is a dessert! Hahah!

Ok... so I must swallow my pride and admitt that in the end I did have a bite of this over the top pancake... and I must say, holy caloundra... WOWZA! it was insanely good...
Bacon and eggs with BBQ sauce?? Thats just plain crazy. :) But a pancake dessert, that is something I could wrap my mind around. That looks amazing....and "cake" is in the word pancake. So maybe the Aussies have had it right the whole time and the Americans have been wrong??
ReplyDeleteHahaha... yes Kristin you make a very valid point about the whole "cake" pancake thing...
