Americans do it, someone saw it on telly, now we do it. Like Big Red Plastic Cups at parties now and using the word ‘awesome’ as a description of something that normally we would describe as nice, tasty or good – no, has to be awesome….
Oh, and saying ‘I guess’ for ‘I suppose’ – melts my brain
What I want to know is when did “being a thing” become a thing?

So …
chimpy
and when did using the word “notions” become a thing? it grates me bleedin gears.

Am I the only one pondering the “2 pancake” bit?

No. I was actually scrolling the comments looking to see who else noticed this :)

Do us a favour Der and give saying ‘a thing’ for Lent. It’s one of the most irritating phrases doing the rounds these days, after ‘Joan Burton’ of course…
Der
Give to whom?
My Daddy is bigger than Yours
you mean “Shrove Tuesday”?
andyourpointiswhatexactly
It’s a nice name. I had to look it up. To shrive means to confess, so you think of all the aul sins you need to repent for over Lent, as you lash into your pancakes n maple syrup n banana n chipped almonds.
Joe the Lion
I not only intend to keep sinning during Lent but to keep lashing ‘in’ also.

maple syrup has to be one of the finest things available to man, light grade A if you can get your hands on it
1. lightly oil a tin into an oven @220 for 5 mins to put a bit of heat on it
2. lay out some straight plain dry cure bacon slices onto that tin (not the injected flavoured shite nobody likes….bacon industry WHY T F do you ruin our bacon by doing this????)
taking care not to overlap the slices back in the oven for 12-15 mins depending on how cremated you like to go…
3. pancakes as you please while oven does its thing, I like the thicker fluffy kind made on buttermilk see nigel slater
4. maple syrup into a serving jug, ding in microwave for 20 secs to warm a little…make a pot of tea while you’re at it (allowing to draw properly)
5. serve up on warm plates (jesus there’s nothing worse than putting great food on cold plates!)….assemble quickly to keep the heat…layers of pancake with skim of butter, crispy bacon…the maple syrup, spare butter and some maldon salt to the side just in case
The Vintage Inn in The Ringer/Irishtown (Posh Ringsend) used to to breakfast pancakes, 2 pancakes, 2 rashers, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, 2 black pudding all drizzled with maple syrup.
Tremendous stuff altogether!

maple syrup is about €18 a litre. makes water charges look cheap by comparison. actually, it makes everything cheap by comparison. i did some vague research (googling) on it a few years back, apparently you need to refine 100lts of sap to get 1 litre of syrup, which may explain the price and deliciousness.

It’s a good thing that I have no plans to shower in maple syrup.

Other liquids that aren’t water are expensive too; olive oil, truffle oil, perfume, orange juice

So, if you buy two pancakes you get two slices of bacon for free?

A crepe is a posh poo!

I like the word bacon. It’s easier to say: bacon. It’s also more evocative. Rasher sounds like something you suffer from in your crotch area when you’ve been running loads.

I’d like to get a look at those pancakes.
Unless they’re very big pancakes, €1.25 seems like a lot for eggy flour.
Parp
You’re job is ripping you off. 2 pancakes for 75c here and all the toppings you like.
Erm, the yanks love pancakes with bacon n maple syrup. It’s just an Irish twist. Thin pancakes with rashers and probably ketchup. Bob’s yer uncle.
They call it a lumberjack breakfast. Apparently lumberjacks love pancakes.
They’re not the only ones. Though I prefer fruit to bacon with the aul syrup.
Also buttered scones for tea.
haha
Free rashers though.
At least they say rashers.
Urrybody says bacon for rashers these days. Thanks, internet.
Yep
Like pasta is the new spaghetti shapes
And Queen cakes became cup cakes
That’s because they are rashers of bacon. It’s like saying beer instead of pint of beer.
Pancakes with bacon is an american thing that is damn nice, hence you can get it here. Its a bit like saying when did french toast become a thing.
French Toast and Bacon. and Maple syrup.
ive just cum a little bit.
you might wanna see a doctor about that problem
my only problem is that i don’t have french toast, bacon and maple syrup.
…or a penis beaker. messy pancakes.
SHUDDUP AND JUST NYOMNOMNOMNOMN
For real ? Pancakes, crispy bacon and maple syrup, how could you not have had that before ?
It must be crispy bacon and not a half inch wedge of a super salty Irish rasher. The thick rasher has no business getting itself involved here.
No.
This is what you do. Go to the shop next door and buy some lighter fluid and matches.
Then come back in and KILL IT WITH FIRE !
Maple syrup all over the rashers….lovely nom noms
fry your rashers in maple syrup.
Heed the call of Diabetor, enfold yourself in his powdered=sugary embrace.
yum
Better known as a bacon crepe – been around for oinks.
Pancake Tuesday totally snuck up on me this year. Like a feckin ninja.
…and battered you !
*flippin’ ninja

You’re right Hoop… totally wasted that one!
