Okay, I can be flexible. I'll try a selection of pancake places. We get pancakes one day a year here.
Shrove Tuesday?
UK standard of living rises above that in America for the first time in a century
Adjusted for pancake proximity? I think not.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

They have pancakes from many lands.
Shouldn't it then be House of International Pancakes ?
Shrove Tuesday?
Mmm, I love having pancakes for dinner. Whenever we do that for Pancake Day (which is how it is referred to in our non-religious house) I always say, we should have pancakes for dinner more often. I mean, why not, right? Never happens though. It makes pancake (and paczi) day all the more special though, I suppose.
I actually made pancakes (for breakfast) yesterday, for the first time in yonks. Almost more blueberry than pancake, and they were teh yum. Banana pancakes are best though.

That's the chap. We usually call it Pancake Day.

Ahahahaha! Excellent Pancake Day x-post.
Yummm, pancakes...
Growing up, Bisquick pancakes were an occasional weekend treat, but the big celebrations called for Swedish pancakes from my grandpa's family recipe (he was born in Lulea, Sweden, and brought some great recipes with him back in the early '20s). My brother's kids love it when he's in charge of Sunday breakfast because he pulls out the griddle and syrup (we don't normally have lingonberry jam available, sad to say).
For pancakes I grew up on the Bisquick ones, but most of the time we had crepes made from scratch (generally served a bit thicker than tradtional crepes). Toppings for the crepes were either maple syrup like a p-cake, or sprinkle on brown sugar and roll it up into a tube.
We frequently have Breakfast For Dinner. Which for us is usually waffles, bacon and fruit. I guess we tend to do it more often in spring, when we have an overabundance of strawberries with which the bury the waffles.
Frank, it sounds like your crepes were closer to my Swedish pancakes, which I've always equated to thicker crepes.
