Today is Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras or Pancake Day, depending on your faith and/or geography.
So, this evening, I will be cooking up some pancakes.
In Newfoundland, we have a tradition where we hide things in the pancakes, like pennies, rings, or other trade related items. What you find in your pancake supposedly divines your future. A penny means you will be rich, a thimble and you will be a tailor, a ring and you will marry, etc. It is a fun tradition, especially with kids.
So, pancakes are on the menu. Personally, I prefer savoury to sweet in the evening so I may make some potato/zucchini pancakes, but having some fruit and berries around for the sweeter variety will invariably happen, too.
My question for all of you that I haven't alienated and still read this thing is, what kind of pancake would make you most happy on Shrove Tuesday?

strawberries....
and maybe a toonie or something monetary just cause i'm superficial like that
chocolate chip banana, with maybe a coffee flavour drizzle.
I think that hiding bacon in pancakes would be a very very good thing. Potato pancakes with bacon and lots of cheese ... yes yes ... a very good thing. Yeah i guess you could add some zucchini ...
trinkets-wise: some baby related item would make me smile.
food-wise: Raspberries. Glorious raspberries.
What about you, P?
