a very English Fat Tuesday
It's Fat Tuesday, which is Shrove Tuesday in civilised countries, and Pancake Day in less religious households. I'm upholding the fine pancake tradition here in Helsinki.
To start with, a few traditional savoury pancakes - bacon and cheese.
I also had one with a chorizo-style banger and some mustard.
Before moving on to the main course (sweet pancakes), it was time for some more local cuisine. These blood pancakes had beckoned at me in the supermarkets for a while, tonight seemed an apt time to take the plunge.
51% blood (of indeterminate origin).
What do you serve with blood pancakes? Why, lingonberry sauce, of course!
They taste, like, well, half-pancake half-black pudding. They have the same savoury meaty backtaste, but the texture is just pancake. Probably a good introduction to the world of cooked blood.
Back to more traditional crepes - lemon and sugar, and maple syrup.
Now I am so full, with some batter left for tomorrow.
