Questions: Food & Beverage

A friend recently told me how she horrified some Americans who were staying with her witnessed her eating raw cake mix. Apparently it's just not done in the states because of the raw egg in it but in the UK people regularly lick the spoon or give the left over mix in the bowl to their kids to eat as the cake bakes.

I love McDonalds iced frappes more than even the bubble tea but it gives me head pain when I drink it too fast.

What do you prefer

As a child I used to love sinking my teeth into a battered banana or a battered pineapple ring. The crispy coating paired well with the steaming hot insides that fried the roof of your mouth.

I've not had battered deep fried fruit for ages but have you ever battered your banana or ring?

I've just eaten a stack of crempogau or "petites crêpes galloises" as the French call them. They're a type of buttermilk pancake closer to what you'd get in America rather than the thin English or French ones, and served much the same way.

Traditionally, they are served smoothered in butter before you pour on your favourite topping, unlike English pancakes where it just goes straight on top butterless.

This got me wondering, do Americans butter their pancakes? I did a bit of googling and found pictures with and without, while our own version is nearly always pictured dripping with butter.

My favorites are Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's Subs
