Restaurants

edit

What are the criteria for the inclusion of restaurants on this page? Should they even be here? - AKeen (talk) 17:34, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good question, I would say yes because this is a fairly novel food in the United States and a very limited number of restaurants serve them but there is not sufficient information to warrant an article specifically on any of the restaurants. --BenFranske (talk) 17:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Normal ingredients/toppings for pannenkoeken?

edit

This question is directed more towards our English-reading Dutch guests: how do you normally eat your pannekoeken?

I asked a Dutch guy today and he said that he just puts sugar on his--not much mention of ingredients. I'm an American-raised fan of pannekoeken, so my preference for breakfast fruits (a banana) and nuts (a là shortstack pancakes with pecans) comes from my personal experience, not what I acquired in the Netherlands. The Europeans were all over the place, getting a variety of (icky) ingredients included in their pannekoek order.

I just so happen to be going to a pannekoeken dinner with a bunch of Benelux citizens, so I'll keep an eye out to see what they choose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.163.87 (talk) 18:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I make them with sliced apples and raisins and than top them of with sugar, my girlfriend with sirup. Sometimes i make them with cheese, but in the end u can make them with everything u want, or in pancake restaurants order them with what ever you want. Nowadays even with chocolate sirup or topped like a pizza. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.81.192.85 (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2010 (UTC)Reply


i'm from the netherlands i sometimes put apple in my pannekoeken, or pineapple, and sometimes just plain (eggs, milk, flour) when we eat them there's always stroop and powdered sugar on the table as well. raisins? doesn't sound like it'd tast good to me. slices of ham or cheese are pretty common, but i'm not a fan. i often replace part of the milk with buttermilk, but that's just my own recipe. kwark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_(cheese) is a good fresh-tasting low-calory topping, and different kinds of fruit (apple, banana, mango, etc) taste good as well.

anyway, just add what you think will taste best, dutch cuisine doesn't have strict rules and varies by region. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.127.244.109 (talk) 01:17, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

The most common ingredients for pancakes made at home are besides the flour, eggs and milk are thin slices of apple, raisins or bacon. Of course there are personal variants like pineapple or banana but in 9 of 10 cases nothing but the basics is in the batter. This fact has a simple reason: Kids don't like it. They want their pancake as sweet as possible so they want a plain pancake with lots of syrup and sugar. And since tte average Dutch mother and housewife is very lazy by nature she won't serve something special if there is no special need for it. In almost every Dutch village are pancake restaurants. In order to serve something that adults like to eat lots of varieties are on the menu. Pancakes with peanut sauce, with eggs, with ice cream, with meatloaf, mushrooms, pizza topping, and many kinds of alcohol inside. But of course nothing beats the plain pancake with syrup or sugar at home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.168.232.246 (talk) 20:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Name of article

edit

I would like to swap the current contents of Pannenkoek and Pannekoek. The Dutch spelling changed a few years ago and I would prefer the article title to reflect this. If no one objects, I will do so in a few weeks. Pietrow 09:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Dutch spelling changed, but it is best known in English under the old spelling, so it should remain Pannekoek. Jonathunder (talk) 15:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

pannekoek picture

edit

Should that picture of the Bacon pannekoek from a Dutch restaurant in the U.S really be there? it looks horribly unlike dutch pannenkoeken.(far too thick) Rody1990 (talk) 11:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Pannekoek has become Pannenkoek with new spelling rules

edit

I really don't know how to change the article title, I'm a n00b with wikipedia. Maybee someone else can change this?

Kaiserschmarm vs Palatschinken

edit

Kaiserschmarm is not so much a pancake/pannekoek as it is a pancake gone wrong, with whipped cream added. I would suggest instead of Kaiserschmarm, Palatschinken is used. de:Palatschinken is used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.203.137.71 (talk) 14:45, 2 February 2012 (UTC)Reply


edit

This page links to the Dutch pannenkoek page, but that Dutch page is not about the Dutch pancake. That page discusses pancakes in general. And that page (the Dutch pannenkoek page) links to the English pancake page... Not to the English pannekoek page.

Anyway, this article should be more clear... The word is written incorrect. The page says "A pannenkoek or pannekoek [...]" That's incorrect. The only correct writing form is pannenkoek. In schools, nobody is allowed to write pannekoek, as it's not the right form. Het Witte Boekje is not recognized... Only by some papers and by NOS (and other media). However, the article should say that pannenkoek is the right writing form, but the incorrect pannekoek is more known. It looks like people are allowed to write pannekoek, but they aren't, actually.

Spelling authorities can't actually decide what's right or wrong, because it's for every individual person to decide what they want to use. In the same way, a country might have an official language but that doesn't mean it's the only correct way to speak. In any case, it's clear that Dutch people don't always agree on what is right. So in the interest in WP:NPOV both spellings should be presented. Besides, the spelling change only happened in 1995, so there are probably plenty of sources using the other spelling.

References, why so little?

edit

It's been 4 years since someone put a Template for lack of references, and still the only two references actually in the article are about the Spelling, and country of origin. Both of which are in the first sentence, which means that ONLY THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE ENTIRE ARTICLE IS SOURCED! How did this stay like that so long?Rody1990 (talk) 05:57, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
