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?

Pancakes, cheese and bacon followed by pancakes and dessert bits here

We just finished dinner. Pancakes with creamy spinach and Boursin filling, followed by pancakes with ice-cream and hot chocolate sauce. 😋😋😋😋😋

This takes me back to a fab restaurant in San Francisco years ago called The Magic Pan. Crepes were pretty much all they sold with every sort of filling, savoury or sweet, you could imagine. The perfect combination for me was a brocolli soufflé pancake to start then a banana chantilly pancake for dessert.

Pancakes with lemon and sugar for dinner when we were children. If you were hungry afterwards there was toast!

A local café here does big crepes filled with brie, bacon and cranberry sauce - they are omg delicious! I'd definitely just do pancakes, when my now-adult sons were younger, they could eat their bodyweight in pancakes!

We only have pancakes for tea on Pancake day. Savoury ones followed by sweet ones. This how we did it as kids. My husband thought it was weird 1st pancake day together though as they only had one sweet one for dessert. He loves it now though 😋

I did cheese and bacon pancakes and lemon and sugar ones

Go for it!! 🥞

We had pancakes for dinner with ice cream, Nutella, biscoff spread, golden syrup, sugar and squirty cream (yes - all mixed together!) Only one night, I remember it vividly as a child, so will continue this for my kids!

As today is Chinese New Year and Pancake Day we had pancakes with fruit for lunch and Chinese for dinner!

Absolutely fine!
They are really filling plus pancakes take ages to make!

This is exactly what we did

I had one savoury (ham and Mexican cheese) DS had 2
Then a few lemon and sugar ones

Its tradition for pancake day in our house, savoury cheese and ham pancake first and sweet pancakes afterwards!

If they take ages to make you might be doing it wrong. Obviously if you're making 50 it might take a while but each one individually is really quick

I made pancakes for dinner, with a selection of unhealthy toppings.

My mum used to make pancakes for dinner, too. But, beung Irish, she would also make corned beef fritters with some of the batter because you can't have a meal without at least a bit of meat involved incase her children should starve to death and she get thrown in bad mum prison.

This. Just sweet pancakes. No healthy bits (well I did have a banana with chocolate sauce).

You are my spirit animal - I just had Chinese for tea too!

Only that I had leftovers to use up I would have done the same. Maybe findus crispy pancake style. Had pancakes with sugar and lemon instead but will definitely plan better next year and it will be pancakes for dinner

DS has pancakes for breakfast AND dinner today.
someone call social services!

Never. We always had them for dinner on pancake day as a child, as my dad was the pancake maker of the house, so we had to wait for him to come home

Pancakes are a meal. Just have some savoury fillings. We have them all year round. Bonus that they cover both main and dessert

Isn’t that what everyone is doing?

We always do savoury pancakes followed by sweet pancakes for tea on Shrove Tuesday!

Totally lazy....but doesn't everyone do this?! 😁
This is one day a year that I'm not slaving over a meal that they won't eat anyway, only to bring out the pancakes which they'll devour. May as well just skip to the good part 😄
