lupestripe | A Smorgasbord Of Pancakes (Reply)

As today is Shrove Tuesday, Wolfie and I teamed up with Draken and Arcais to enjoy a Smorgasbord of pancakes at the Dragon's Den. Sadly, there was no Deborah Meaden or Theo Pathwotsit stroking their money, neither was there the charming baldness of Evan Davies. There was a large Scouser cooking a pizza though, and hogging the living room for three hours, thus confining us to the kitchen.

We bought a range of different ingredients for the pancake buffet. Here are the different fillings we had:

Blue cheese and marscapone - a nice mix of sharpness and creaminess, the two complemented each other well.
Red Leicester - it was difficult to taste this amongst the batter of the pancake.
Brie - this was a little too sharp for my tastes in all honesty, although the taste became more acquired the more of it we ate.
Nutella and cinnamon - with one whole hazelnut in 15g, plus a fuckton of sugar too. The cinnamon flavour was drowned out by the mulch.
Smoked salmon - this was particularly gorgeous, very much like the pancakes we had in Russia.
Haggis - this Scottish themed pancake was absolutely delicious, the best of the night, plus we made a smiley face out of the haggis too, which we coined the elephant's heamerroid.

Draken proved himself to be a champion tosser, although today is the only day when hitting the ceiling is considered a bad toss. The company was excellent as always, we watched a brilliant programme about wheat and stacked random objects into towers. What better way to spend an evening? We left when Big Fat Gypsy Weddings came on - that was only going to taint the evening.
