Welcome To The Pancake Place

Just a blog for food. Hi, I’m Pancake, she/they pronouns, and I’ve got a sweet tooth and sensory issues.

Pinned post!

Hello! Call me Pancake, my pronouns are she/they

This blog was originally just for a story, but now I use it to reblog food! Especially sweet stuff.

I have an unusually high metabolism

I am austistic and can’t stand the feeling of an empty stomach, so this blog is for fellow food lovers! Also, I’ll post my food related shenanigans on here under the tag ‘pancake shenanigans’

DNI if:

- pro-ana/thinspo

- autism $peaks supporter

- any kind of exclusionist

my favorite thing about this post is all the people who chose to use the default icon defending themselves in the notes like no stop it just put a picture up

people are always like why can’t i cook restaurant level good food and the answer is always butter & cream & salt sorry. you have to accept this

[terraqua111]

What kind of shit junk food restaurants are you all visiting where butter and cream are the only secret to make it "better". I'd rather say, herbs, practice and the maillard reaction.

I barely even know any meals or recipes that need cream. And butter? Why would you cook with butter? That is an ingredient for baking, not cooking.

[ryebreadgf]

in what world is butter not an ingredient for cooking. i’m losing my whole mind

From what I've gathered from my US friends, eggs have become hard to find and are super expensive. Likewise, it's been hard to get your hands on eggs over here too, and I've only been able to get imported ones thus far. This is of course pretty frustrating for someone who uses eggs in cooking frequently.

If you're struggling to afford eggs, and you live in areas where people keep chickens, your first point of call should be to chicken owners. You will be able to grab fresh eggs, generally at a cheaper price than supermarkets, and support local business too!

If you don't have access to this, you can also use plant substitutes in your cooking. This is particularly useful for vegans and those with egg allergies too. I found this table, which will hopefully help you out with using egg substitutes in your cooking. ~Tal

Here’s some history behind one of America’s favorite breakfast foods!

Note: There are also different myths/stories of how bagels came to be which are pretty interesting to read too!

Some things about Kashrut gentiles should know:

-Kashrut isn't like an airborne allergy. There's no prohibition on being around non-Kosher food, we walk past non-Kosher food all the time in the grocery store and in daily life. We may ask that you not bring non-kosher food into our houses or kitchens, but that's because our homes and kitchens are "kashered", which means they are specially cleaned and have no non-kosher contamination.

-Even if you think food is kosher, it might not be, at least to our standards. Different Jews follow Kashrut differently, too, so what one Jew might accept as Kosher will not be the same for another. Do not be offended if we decline your offering of food.

-You can talk about non-Kosher food in front of us. The existence of non-Kosher food doesn't offend us. Don't feel like you can't talk about that great meal you had with us.

[dragkingandreweldritch]

caveat to the last point: if you tell your Jewish acquaintance how good the nonkosher food you ate was solely as a bid to get them to stop keeping kosher, you are an asshole

[magnetothemagnificent]

Oh absolutely

[archliches]

you just don’t get shit like this anywhere else folks

[platypusprime]

Hey @breelandwalker i seem to remember you have Apple Opinions, so you might enjoy this post lol

[breelandwalker]

I for one question the sanity of the reviewer, when HONEYCRISP, of all things is ranked as a near-perfect apple and this….this VILE SLANDER is what they have to say about my beloved Stayman Winesaps:

I will find this person and we shall duel in the orchard at dawn.

[sexynbabyarethesmartones]

I personally will only eat honeycrisp apples. They are the only ones I like. *sniffs snobbishly*

[breelandwalker]

Oh sure, sure, they’re not bad or anything. Perfectly good and serviceable. Like boxed wine. They are the Franzia Chardonnay of apples - really really good until you have a real one.

Growing up, I would eat the same as skinny people. However, I was still fat. Skinny people would tell me I ate too much even though I ate the same as them, causing me to think I needed to eat no more than two meals of plain steamed vegetables a day in order to be “healthy.” In high school I finally achieved a midsize body (not even a skinny body), and that was by starving and malnourishing myself. Now that I’m older and have found fat activism as well as actual weight science, I have learned that most fat people are naturally fat and literally do have to starve in order to attain anything close to skinniness. That is because weight is severely tied to genetics. Weight is not a choice. So when a fat person tries to become skinny, they are literally fighting their genetics, their own body, to become something they are not. And you know what? I don’t deserve to live a life with a starving, malnourished body. My fat body is perfectly fine, and I’m keeping it. Fuck fatphobes.

One of the most annoying things about diet culture is how every halfway-sensible idea gets turned into something extreme and stupid.

“If your diet is too heavy in carbs, that might mess with your blood sugar, plus you might not be getting enough protein or other nutrients” becomes “everything with carbs, from blackberries to Little Debbies, is basically poison.”

“Highly processed foods and restaurant meals often use more salt/sugar/fats than other types of food, so if you eat them frequently you might be consuming more of those things than you intend, plus they often aren’t as filling as their calorie count would suggest and that messes with your hunger cues” becomes “giving your kids frozen chicken nuggets once a week is exactly the same as regularly letting them eat candy for dinner.”

“Eating less calorie-dense foods is a good way to feel full without consuming a surplus of calories (when you’re not trying to consume a surplus of calories)” becomes “cucumbers give you more energy than crackers and are always the better snack, even for small children.”

It’s a really frustrating mentality for anyone who’s trying to make realistic, sustainable healthy choices.

[tastyresippys]

Food history has been so sanitized by the demonization of carbs. “Our ancestors only had fruits and veggies they didn’t have all these refined carbs” our ancestors drank beer 25/8 because the water was bad. Our ancestors drizzled honey on shit ever since we knew it existed. We’ve been making bread for our entire recorded history. It’s true that bleached sugars specifically are a new thing but high glycemic carbs are not new at all, we’ve been consuming them for thousands of years

When they make food downloadable in the future I'm gonna be the potato king. Got bandoleers of usbs full of tots, fries, baked and brother you better believe I've got two holsters with 55 terabyte hardrives full of mashed on my hips. Fastest gravyslinger in the west. I walk into the cybersaloon and lesser and slower hands on the draw quiver and shake. I get on my horse and head out of town and all those cyber tumbleweeds make wide turning arcs away from my loyal steed as we ride away from this quickly crumbling metaphor.

So with gas being so expensive and groceries also being more expensive grocery shopping is becoming a whole *thing* now. The cheaper grocery stores are down the highway while the more expensive hip grocery stores are on my street… lots of pro and con-ing going on. basically I’m saying tear down Whole Foods and build an Aldi thanks

“Americans believe in big portions! That’s so crazy.” Look at this European getting scammed into paying for 100 calories worth of food. Fool. Idiot. You wish you could have this 16 ounce Big Gulp and this serving of rice I will eat off for three days but you can’t. Cope and seethe.

[byjove]

I also love watching Italians get mad at Italian American food. You’re cranky because your hungry, aren’t you? Cranky because you don’t get that delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip your bread in before meals? Cranky because your pizza kinda sucks?
