Using animal products is exploiting the animals. Kind of like depending on welfare is exploiting the taxpayer.



Ooooh, burn! Unless no one's on welfare, in which case: megafail

You have an odd definition of 'Exploit'

Wait for it...

Sigh.....blah blah blah single parent family blah blah blah mother disabled and can't work, blah blah blah in last year of high school.

Am I 'exploiting' the taxpayers? :p

You're ruining everything!

So we can conclude that Vegetarianism is a more specific subcategory of Veganism? While the former only rejects meat, the latter rejects all animal products?

On topic, all this categorisation reminded me of something. Can we call crépés (and others) pancakes, or are these completely different terms?

Wrong way around; veganism is a more specific subcategory of vegetarianism.

I thought it was about being a glutton as much as possible before the restrictions of Lent.

i cant beleive how many people havent heard of pancake day! have i just educated half of OWF's members about the tasty pancake by making this thread?

make me a Mod.

thats what the poll is asking.

you nearly choked me sir, i swallowed my coffee the wrong way.

haven't a clue, except one is made by simple peasants, and the other by posho's.

That's because many countries in this world refer to the day as the more theologically pleasing 'Shrove Tuesday'. Stop being so parochial.

Lent, which is (in theory) supposed to be "celebrated" by giving up the pleasures of food and donating the savings to charity, or church, begins with people using up all of such treats in one night. Which presumably means that at one point such treats were eggs, butter, sugar and a few other choice morsels. If we did the same today, the resultant... result would probably be lethal to all but the widest of arteries.

jesus christ, i know that matey! and i find it insulting that you think im narrow minded. you seem to be pissed off at me the last couple of replies, sort it with me through PM.

Didn’t you ever learn that double negatives emphasize the negativity, not reverse it?

I had pasta!

Weeeee! Thanking you. Now I just need to dig out all my cake ingredients.

Megafail, my friend; I signed off earlier today. :D

Indeed, but veganism is the original vegetarianism. Then veggies got lazy and stole the name, so we came up with an even spunkier one.

Hey, congratulations. Taking the leap of faith in which this implies good news on the employment front.

I'm not pissed off. That said, why on earth would you ask that why people hadn't heard of Pancake Day if you already knew the answer?

Pancake day really just isn't an official day in Denmark :( Shucks....

i said PM.

dont over complicate things, i was just joking around. ofcourse i know some countries dont celebrate it, or have even heard of it, the same goes for Christmas and other celebrations.

what i want to know is: why did you think i didnt know in the first place? hmm?

I had them with sugar. Only had 2, they get really sickly. :)

DAMMIT! I missed it! And Mum would've made crépés and raspberry syrup. Good times...

Ugh... they do (throws up)

My grandad had a feckload of pancakes and was lying on the floor moaning :P

I VOTE FOR GOLDEN SYRUP, HERE IT RAWR
BAD GRAMMAR MWHAHA
Seroiusly though, I don't eat pancakes alot, instead I make pikelets. WOOT!

excuse my ignorance, but what are Pikelets?

Like Pancakes, but smaller and thicker.

Atleast, that's what I think they are.

if there the ones im thinking of (you can buy them in the supermarket), then i do like them. burn easy while grilling though.

Piclets are also known as crumpets for the people who don't know what they are. And yes, they are nice. :)

And you can eat them with marmite. (Ever tried eating a pancake with marmite?)

thats disturbing.

@Jordan: crumpets are tasty.

I once made the mistake of tasting Marmite. I hate Marmite. Bollocks it’s like soy sauce.

Also, crumpets are heavenly.
Additionally, I loooooove <em> tags.

I had pancakes for breakfast this morning. Ace.

Marmite? That's disgusting. Butter just goes with them. :D

lucky git. unsurprisingly, all the eggs in the house are gone. no more pancakes for me.

i tried to find a strange fact about Marmite, like 'did you know that Marmite contains a highly unstable ingredient that is also used as a trigger product in Anti-Tank mines?', but amazingly i found Nil.

actually, call me a liar 'cus i did find this frightening poster;
8922
that proves my theory that Marmite is work of the Devil (chef).
only ever had crumpets with butter...all i know...i'm simple.

What? You didn't even try.

Yes, pancake or picklet, its all good. I don't really eat crumpets,because they are different from picklets, they are too holey for me, though they taste good with cream and raspberry jam...when ever mum buys them.
Anyway, now that we know that some people like odd flavours, has anyone tried Vegemite and honey? Its actually really good, all sour and sweet. I eat it all the time with weetbix, and with Pancakes when my mum makes them, Cause when ever I make them they go all weird shaped, never circlular. XD ahh well, they still taste good. Don't like marmite, smells too funky.

i knew, i just knew you'd come and say that, but your right. i wasn't in a reading mood.

funny you say that, i have tried that Vegemite stuff, and i thought it tasted like a stronger version of Marmite, like for Marmite 'heavyweights'. but i've never tried it with anything else, the first time i could feel my teeth being ripped from my skull.

in other news, i tried to make pancakes with self raising flour once, instead of plain, that was...unusual.

I had roti bread last night, with lemon butter. It's kind of like pancakes... but tastier.

i never knew how ignorant i was towards the 'food realm'. i've never heard of Roti bread.

9/10 things that exist have been eaten by somebody. Sometimes those things even become popular with the masses.

That's not even including those things that don't exist until someone has eaten it.

My work here is done.

I'm not meaning to sound offensive, but I'm pretty sure Roti isn't commonly found on farms and the like.

it's like fatty pastry bread from Indialand
