To think that pancakes can be for dinner?

[Nibledbyducks]

As in just pancakes for the whole meal, not just for pudding? Several of my friends think that they are for pudding, but others think they are a whole meal, especially on pancake day. My Gran bought me up that it was a religious thing to clear out the cupboards for lent and that they were a whole meal.
PS my first AIBU :)

We had cheese and ham pancakes last week.
Ds ate more than he would usually as he saw it as a treat :o

We had american buttermilk pancakes for tea last night, my kids will only eat pancakes with lemon and sugar or syrup, but I don't see anything wrong with that when they've had a school dinner or we're having them after another cooked meal during the day. I wish they'd eat savoury pancakes, but apparently it's lemon and sugar, syrup or no pancakes :(

Diced chicken, three bean salad, white sauce. Roll up, top with more sauce and cheese, oven for 10 minutes. One of my favorite childhood meals.

If you have them with sweet fillings, it would seem a bit like having pudding for dinner. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that!

(though I frequently have cake, yoghurt and fruit for lunch, so maybe I have a strange view of these things...)

Mmm - Dutch pancakes with savoury fillings - delicious!

Strickly speaking, any food can be a full meal, depending on what you have had to eat that day.

Pancakes are just really mutant omelettes.

I have a Dutch pancake pan!

We eat them as a meal.

it has eggs in it and milk (protein sorted), lots of flour (carbs sorted) and we can eat some fresh fruit after, or make Dutch apple pan cakes (vitamin sorted).

It is a MEAL, not a pudding! The same way sandwiches can be a meal.

(or mutant omelettes can be a meal...)

My mum used to make pancakes with savoury mince. It was one of our favourite teas.

Absolutly they make an awesome meal granted i wouldnt let my little one eat just sweet pancakes as a meal that dont mean i wont lol

I only saw the title of this thread and went off to make savoury pancakes filled with yesterday's leftovers for tea. Enough batter left for sweet pancakes for pudding! DD will have nutella in hers but I'm off chocolate for lent so lemon and sugar for me.
