AIBU to Serve Pancakes as Dinner Tonight?

[Amsylou]

It’s Shrove Tuesday, DS finishes at holiday club soon and I don’t think anyone is going to eat an entire dinner AND pancakes this evening so thinking of doing pancakes with a few healthy ‘bits’ on the side, possibly a few savoury pancakes. Lazy or justified?

Always done this! Only pancakes for dinner on Shrive Tuesday! It’s what makes it special and exciting!

We are having savoury pancakes followed by sweet

We’re having pancakes for tea here. With Nutella and bananas for me!

Spinach and ricotta baked pancakes - yum.

Why would it be unreasonable on Pancake Tuesday? Are you well??

I’ve done that a few times and hardly lazy! I chopped up some ham, cheese and other bits to make savoury ones and then had banana, syrup, Nutella, sugar and lemon ones for dessert.

We always have pancakes for dinner with choice of sweet or savoury toppings (but I only ever eat the sweet ones)

Isn't that the point?

I love home made pancakes with greek yoghurt and berries, won't be having anything else.

It’s pancake day. It’s what you do ! We always go for one savoury and then a sweet one

We always have pancakes for dinner on Shrove Tuesday aka Mardi Gras, but I'm American and these are big fluffy American style pancakes with butter and maple syrup. We also have bacon and a fruit salad.

YABVU to consider healthy bits 😄 🤣 😂 I fed my 3 and my husband American style pancakes untill they all felt sick. They went through a whole can of squirty cream aswell the little chunks. There was fruit but only the nice fruits!! Not the healthy ones!!

Exactly, it's really not necesary to run every minute decision by the internet 😂.

How ever would you have managed in generations gone by, although maybe if your mum had crowd sourced you wouldn't be asking now

Absolutely justified

You’ve never once had non dinner food for dinner?

Surely this year, crispy duck with pancakes is the answer to this quandary?

I used to have cereal for dinner when I was at uni...

One with sugar and lemon (that was my healthy one 😉)

Followed by one with Nutella. That was my dinner. Job done. Son had two with Nutella. Who cares. It's once a year and life is short!

The "healthy" bit of our pancake binge will be the sliced bananas in the banana and Nutella pancakes. With optional squirt cream.

Then there are the jam ones, the maple syrup ones and most importantly the lemon and granulated sugar ones.

Lemon's a fruit, that probably counts as well.
Nutella contains hazelnuts, those are good for you.
Practically a health food!

The whole rule of pancake day is - just eat pancakes.

Anything else is modern pretension.

Just pancakes - either with lemon and sugar, or with golden syrup and squishy cream. The end!

There are 3 of us here this year so Dd has made 24 dinner-plate pancakes! All rolled up on a baking tray ready for tea - lemon and sugar here. Can either be warmed in the oven, or reheated with a splash of oil in the pan for extra crispy edges.

I totally forgot! So have a chicken tray bake in the oven, that no doubt the DC will moan about cos all their mates are having pancakes for dinner ! We will probs have some for supper tonight.

Normally just have them for dinner for sure.

Same - and my children seem to have got by with the same treatment!

Well it’s what I was planning to do as it’s what my mum always did with us. Alas my four year old announced as I was getting everything ready pancakes are ‘yucky’ and he doesn’t like them ‘not one bit!’ I mean, he ate plenty on Saturday morning when I did pancakes (forgetting we were so close to pancake day admittedly!) so yknow, classic awkward small person 😂

Definitely do it! Fine today and any day of the year. In The Netherlands it’s quite normal to have pancakes for dinner

Eggs and milk and lemon juice - healthy and includes fruit. We do savoury pancakes with cheese and ham etc and finish with a sweet one. Usually creme de marron (or chestnut cream to the non-Francophiles)
