What do you lot call pancakes?
Pancakes.
Depending on who "you lot" really ARE, in the U.S. we frequently call them
flap-jacks, which is slang... No idea where THAT came from, either, but Google
says that name started about 1600!
Think that's a while ago? Pancake, the original word for them started in the
1400's, according to the Wikipedia Dictionary!
I grew up just south of Lake Erie in Ohio, and there was a variation called
"jonnycake" which was a corn meal based pancake, cooked the same way.
Just south of my tiny hometown, we even had an East-West side of the hills
(aka 'mountains") road called Jonnycake Ridge Route! :-D
Ain't history fun?
