Pancake day is the equivalent of Valentine’s Day for us food fiends, a day where you are OFFICIALLY allowed to eat pancakes pretty much all day (not that we wouldn’t anyway).
Now, what is a pancake?
Quite simply, it’s a cake that you cook in a pan. What makes it so awesome? … IT’S A CAKE YOU COOK IN A PAN. DUH.
We trawled the internet to see what it had to say about pancakes and found this:
PANCAKE / Something you eat for breakfast. I had pancakes this morning.
However, not to be confused with:
PANCAKES / A life changing miracle of fluffy happiness man. So i had some pancakes today, it was so great, i gave my pants to a hobo.
