It may not be "politically correct" but, I still like the pancakes part.
Perhaps Jed's Cold Fusion (without mumbo-jumbo) critics are really tigers?
I remember hearing this story at about age 4 and it
sure wet the appetite for Black-Strap molasses on
buckwheat pancakes. The "butter" was white oleo (at that time it was
against the law in Pennsylvania to sell oleo colored
to look like real butter) but there was a packet of dye that you
could mix in provided with it.
