No Milk/Egg Pancakes Not Pancakes...apparently

[ChenLi]

Apparently it's illegal to call pancakes pancakes if they don't contain egg or milk....*rolls eyes*

I know Ero Sennin is stupid, but this takes the piss (I frequently get him saying stupid anti vegan stuff to me).

:rolleyes:

That link doesn't work for me.

[Gliondrach]

Nor me. I get this message: 'This program cannot display the webpage.'

Can you copy and paste it?

That's daft, isn't it? Will they say that vegan cakes are not cakes as they don't contain eggs?

[ChenLi]

Hmmm. For some reason it shortened it... http://www.playstationrevamped.co.uk/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=4607

Test.

[Gliondrach]

Yes, it works now. A pancake is a cake made in a pan. It is called a cake but is not like a chocolate cake. I'm sure there is no law that says it is illegal to call something a pancake if it doesn't contain eggs and milk. Those laws usually only apply to recipes of things associated with a particular area - like chedddar cheese must come from near the cheddar gorge, and are only applied within the EU.

In fact, I've just found this.

FROM THE WEBSITE OF THE UNDEMOCRATIC EU. NOTE THEIR INCOMPETENCE IN MISSING OUT THE LETTERS 'ST' AT THE END OF 'AGAINST' WHICH THEY SPELL AS 'AGAIN'. TYPICAL OF THEIR LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

Under EU regulations a named food or drink registered at European level will be given protection again imitations throughout the Community. 'Cornish Clotted Cream' secured protected status under EU food laws at the beginning of July 1998. The UK has currently 28 products registered in this way including Newcastle brown ale, white and blue Stilton and Whitstable oysters. An objection to the Cornish Clotted Cream producers application from the French Ministry of Agriculture was withdrawn.

And, from the EU's document

PROTECTION OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS, DESIGNATIONS OF ORIGIN
AND CERTIFICATES OF SPECIFIC CHARACTER
FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS AND FOODSTUFFS
WORKING DOCUMENT OF THE COMMISSION SERVICES

Which comes from

EUROPEAN COMMISSION
DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR AGRICULTURE
FOOD QUALITY POLICY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
ec.europa.eu/agriculture/publi/gi/broch_en.pdf

There is no mention of pancakes. You would think that if pancakes had some special status as needing a specific recipe, they would be included in a document that is for products and foodstuffs of a specific character.

Someone make me some vegan pancakes or I will steal all your loo rolls and you will have dirty bottoms..HA! :wigglebutt:

That's enough to put anyone off their panackes. Is the swing batter in your signature (Doughnut) anything to do with pancake batter? :pancakes:

I am sure it would only put people off their pancakes if they were having them with chocolate sauce. But if you make me some pancakes all this upset can come to a swift and happy end,

My sig thing yes has something to do with pancake batter.

[Gliondrach]

I thought so.

[Doughnut]

I am going to create the world first flour-less pancake and when I do you can all have a drink of it. :chef:

So that will consist of a cup of soya milk with a pinch of salt?

Dam I forgot the salt. No wonder it was so runny.
