A day celebrating pancakes is all good in my books

Favourite pancake toppings?

My two are the obvious lemon juice and sugar, and the ever-delicious chocolate spread...

Any weird-but-awesome combos out there?

The last time I was in Nederland (many moons ago) I had a delicious pancake topped with chicken livers in marinara sauce. om nom nom nom nom.

my fav. is the "pancake sandwich":
two pancakes, put peanut butter on one, and raspberry jam on the other, then slap some bacon one of the pancakes and sandwich them together. It's bloody awesome. There's also the smoores pancake with marshmallows, chocolate syrup (or nutella) and pancakes of course. A sortof weird one that I really loved though was a crepe with raspberry jam and mozzarella cheese on it. I assume that would be transferrable to pancakes given that crepes are just really really thin pancakes.

I think that shrove tuesday is the BEST holiday EVER. when whoever it was that came up with the idea thought it up, they meant BUSINESS. I mean, it's BREAKFAST for SUPPER.

Thumbs up my new favorite holiday!

I'd quite like a steaming pile of pancakes AND a grilled cheese sammitch at the same time.

Edit: Anyone watch the old Cartoon Network show Dr Katz? The one w/Dom Irrera- when he tells the Doc *I'd like to lie on top of you- like a big pancake*
Good stuff- not as good as a good plate of p-cakes, but good still.

+1 With this, it's top!

There was a small place in London called 'My Old Dutch' that made them with cheese and spinach or your choice of a few different combo's, folded or rolled, they were great, really good.

Edit: Here are some ideas, http://www.myolddutch.com/

Here, National Pancake Day was March 1--at least according to IHOP, lol. I only know this because I somehow was sent a press release for it at work (my job has nothing to do with food or marketing).

ETA: I haven't eaten there in years, it's pretty much the last place I'd go for pancakes.

Baked beans with grated cheddar cheese. Stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds to slightly melt the cheese.

I prefer the kind of croissant I had in Paris a few years ago. The center had been cut so there was a flap, and then filled with a sort of sweet tasty custard, and then the flap was put back down, and then it was all covered in glaze.

It looked kinda like a Balrog.

That croissant > Pancakes (IMO)

I don't give a tinker's hoot was that dreadful chain of misery was doing on the wrong day last week - Pancake Day is Shrove Tuesday and that means TODAY!

Stupid dumb IHOP fools. "International House of Pancakes" and they don't even know which day is Pancake Day.
