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.

Free rashers though.
Mikeyfex February 17, 2015 at 10:03 am

At least they say rashers.

Urrybody says bacon for rashers these days. Thanks, internet.
1. Frilly Keane February 17, 2015 at 11:19 am
  
  Yep
  Like pasta is the new spaghetti shapes
  And Queen cakes became cup cakes
2. meh. February 17, 2015 at 12:35 pm
  
  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.
1. obriendj February 17, 2015 at 10:05 am
  
  French Toast and Bacon. and Maple syrup.

      1. scottser February 17, 2015 at 11:56 am
        
        my only problem is that i don’t have french toast, bacon and maple syrup.

For real ? Pancakes, crispy bacon and maple syrup, how could you not have had that before ?
1. Twunt February 17, 2015 at 1:28 pm
  
  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.
Clampers Outside! February 17, 2015 at 10:06 am

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 !
fluffybiscuits February 17, 2015 at 10:11 am

Maple syrup all over the rashers….lovely nom noms
1. Mani February 17, 2015 at 10:23 am
  
  fry your rashers in maple syrup.
  Heed the call of Diabetor, enfold yourself in his powdered=sugary embrace.

Better known as a bacon crepe – been around for oinks.
Sheila February 17, 2015 at 10:13 am

Pancake Tuesday totally snuck up on me this year. Like a feckin ninja.

    LOL Clampers
    
    You’re right Hoop… totally wasted that one!
Kolmo February 17, 2015 at 10:22 am

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?
1. mauriac February 17, 2015 at 10:33 am
  
  So …
2. chimpy February 17, 2015 at 5:36 pm
  
  and when did using the word “notions” become a thing? it grates me bleedin gears.
Eamonn Clancy February 17, 2015 at 10:32 am

Am I the only one pondering the “2 pancake” bit?
1. ItsOnlyMe February 17, 2015 at 1:42 pm
  
  No. I was actually scrolling the comments looking to see who else noticed this :)
Manta Rae February 17, 2015 at 10:37 am

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…
1. Der February 17, 2015 at 10:53 am
  
  Give to whom?
My Daddy is bigger than Yours February 17, 2015 at 10:38 am

you mean “Shrove Tuesday”?
1. andyourpointiswhatexactly February 17, 2015 at 10:44 am
  
  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.
  1. Joe the Lion February 17, 2015 at 2:23 pm
    
    I not only intend to keep sinning during Lent but to keep lashing ‘in’ also.

  Leave the Skobes alone you snob. What with Man Unided struggling they need a diversion that don’t involve exercise
isallimsaying February 17, 2015 at 10:49 am

Flippin’ pancakes.
martco February 17, 2015 at 11:04 am

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

job done

  You’re good!!
2. Draxx Ltd II February 17, 2015 at 11:36 am
  
  Wow that sounds good

  I’d say Scottser just blew the whole load of baby batter after reading that! :)

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!
spork February 17, 2015 at 12:23 pm

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.
1. pedeyw February 17, 2015 at 1:53 pm
  
  It’s a good thing that I have no plans to shower in maple syrup.
2. Gdo February 17, 2015 at 5:23 pm
  
  Other liquids that aren’t water are expensive too; olive oil, truffle oil, perfume, orange juice
Iwerzon February 17, 2015 at 1:32 pm

So, if you buy two pancakes you get two slices of bacon for free?
Iwerzon February 17, 2015 at 1:32 pm

A crepe is a posh poo!
Gdo February 17, 2015 at 2:12 pm

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.
Someone February 17, 2015 at 3:51 pm

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 February 17, 2015 at 4:56 pm

You’re job is ripping you off. 2 pancakes for 75c here and all the toppings you like.
1. Frilly Keane February 17, 2015 at 8:13 pm
  
  And where would that be?
  
  Sounds like a hospital….
