Being canadian, you just described different styles of pancakes that we just call all pancakes.
Thin, thick, size of a plate, sand dollar size, size of your hands... just all called simply pancakes.
I find the thick ones not good.
Theres a chain of big pancakes size of plate restaurants called dedutch pannekoek house, or just dedutch.
- matt-p 2y agoBut if you go to a cafe and order pancakes how do you know what you'll get! A simply unacceptable gamble in my mind! Imagine looking forward to a normal pancake and getting a rubbery American one popped infront of you.
- 1123581321 2y agoDo Canadians not call the Scandinavian crepe style Swedish pancakes? That’s the common term in the US regardless of size and fold.
- yusaythat 2y agoThis is not a common term in the US.
- 1123581321 2y agoYes it is. You’ll find it on breakfast menus in every part of the country, if they make them. There are variations though. What do you call them?
- yusaythat 2y agoWell I'm 40 and lived all over the country and I've never heard it a single time. You sure you don't live in an alternate timeline? Also just to make sure I'm not crazy I looked at iHop's online menu and it's... just pancakes. Never heard anyone call a pancake anything other than a pancake.
- 1123581321 2y agoAh, yeah you're thinking of regular pancakes. In this thread, we're talking about crepes made in one of the Scandinavian styles. I haven't heard of IHOP selling those unless it's a special menu item. Edit: I googled IHOP Swedish pancakes and they apparently had them for awhile and discontinued them a couple years ago.
- yusaythat 2y agonever heard anyone call a crepe anything other than a crepe either.
- 1123581321 2y agoBizarre. :) From one well-traveled ~40-year-old to another, eat more breakfast.
- sergers 2y agoI have heard of it maybe at a distinct place, but not common. Alot of things also passed off as crepe but not... Not alot of standards lop
