What do you think about pancakes?

By the way, pancake derives from placenta, which in Latin means 'cake'. This puts a new spin on the colloquialism "a bun in the oven".

I like the term "flapjacks" but I never call them such in real life.

"Hotcakes" only seems to come up in the context of salesmanship. How come no one ever talks about buying them? Besides, they never appear to be that popular except in the morning. That doesn't seem very profitable as a marketing model.

Does anyone call them "griddlecakes" anymore?

Flapjacks are a specific non-pancake thing to me -

I am in general pro-pancake, though :)

I will never think of flapjacks in the same way.

I like muesli (though that's the Australian term); I wonder what those Britannic flapjacks taste like, then. Are they served warm?

Preferably, yes, though you can eat them cold. They sort of taste like a honey muesli cake, ish, sort of.
