Pancake day - what's the normal amount of pancakes to eat??

[waitingforautumn]

Having a bit of a debate. Family think 6-8 is normal. I have friends who are done after two.

How many do you typically put away??? (hint: make me feel better about the fifth one I'm about to have...!)

Am talking about crepes btw.

Yes @TatianaBis, thank goodness you’re here to single-handedly solve the obesity crisis by making snide comments on a lighthearted thread about pancakes!!

Honestly, get a grip.

@TatianaBis sorry for your DH, I bet he’s not looking forward to the post-pancake day spike in colossal pancake-stuffed patients.

tatiana .. They have to have supersize beds, wheelchairs, lifting equipment etc. Surgery on overweight people has specific challenges. It matters 😂😂 OMG pancake day once a year has caused this?? 😂😂

Complications arising in surgery are an MDT worry,the gas man,the surgeon,the team
Not the wife, who’s not undertaking the surgery,who only appears to be berating others in a joyless manner
It’s not your shit to give frankly unless it’s your patient,your table,their complications

I had 2 but they were for dessert after we'd eaten dinner.

I had one with lemon and sugar. Poor effort tbh, but our kitchen is cold and I was getting sick of the sight of them by then.

Why do people like TatianaBis come on to threads like this to preach at others? Does it make them feel important, better than everyone else. It is quite horrible how a few people can derail a thread that started off as a nice chat about something enjoyable.

My DS(7) had 6, should I book him in for bariatric surgery now?

Didn't have the ingredients to make them today, but if I had and given this is Mumsnet then my pancake would've been 1 the size of a dessert spoon with one sad lonely berry sat on top of it. In theory though I'd have had 8. 2 with shit loads of orange and sugar, 2 with shit loads of lemon and sugar, 2 with jam and 2 with treacle. Then again I am a fat cow

My kids 13 and 10 have had 8 each today 4 as their breakfast and 4 about an hour or so after their tea. DH and I had 4 each but that was our tea.

Not as many as I'd have liked

2 but we always have the American style so they are thicker and puffy!

haha these comments I HAD 8 AND I LOVED IT
and I have a bmi of 23

Who do you think the surgeon talks to when he gets home? Do you think they're all robots?

All we've eaten today is pancakes. Traditional thin ones in the morning and fluffy American this evening.. With fruit or lemon and sugar or bacon and maple syrup.

It's once a year. Fuck it. We have a great diet every day.

I had 3 sweet ones, could probably have fitted in another. I genuinely had never heard of people having them as a savoury thing until met DH. I've still never tried it, just seems wrong (I know, same mix as Yorkshire puds but still wrong in my eyes!)

After the sausage thread I don't think I can read this one

I had about 10 my kids had between 3-10, I had to stop one of them in the end because I was physically broken by this point

TatianaBis

My my you sound such a cheerful soul and a real barrel of laughs.

It's shrove Tuesday. People eat pancakes.

Get over it.

We had 5-6 very thin ones each but nothing else

@TatianaBis Do not vicariously try to assume understanding clinical work if you don’t practice it
You literally have no idea if you’re not doing it. You’ll get the edited version that’s all. You don’t carry the responsibility

You simply cannot claim to get it,by proximity or after dinner conversation . Doesn’t work like that

So do not claim you’re motivation for berating other posters is clinical. It’s nothing of the sort

3 each and that was dinner.

Tatiana stealth boast on pancake thread. We all get it, your husband is a surgeon. Yay for you.

If he carries on like that, yes.

Two after a big dinner, now contemplating getting up and making more Had a 5k run earlier if that gets me off the hook with the pancake police!

DH and I had 2 and DC had 1. We do the thin crepe type ones.
