[Kidds]

And the chocolate tunnelers

Chocolate? On a pancake?

What are you, American or something?

A squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of sugar is more than adequate don’t you know. None of this ‘in your face’ extravagance, if you don’t mind.

 

[Dead Rabbits]

Just add water. Up yours farmer.

What the hell are "American style " pancakes?

 

[Farmer Roy]

Haha - don't worry. The Poms have been craving US culture & fashion for at least 70 years or more.
If it's " American " it must be better

Pancakes are dangerous things. Used a new heavy metal frying pan must be about 18 inches across last night to toss ours. Woke up this morning and can't move my elbow properly, suppose I've got a year to recover.

 

[Old Boar]

I did hear that tossing did that....

I do not like these silly posts about thank a farmer for this and that etc... yes it is very important to educate the public where their fav food comes from however, this is not the correct way to do it. As already pointed out.
Thank a builder for the warm kitchen
Thank a doctor for allowing you to even be here.
..... you don’t see the likes of Cadbury saying “ no Cadbury no Easter!” They use clever marketing to get point across and improve brand image. These posts do neither ....just my opinion but one I find more and more agreeing with.
Why don’t the NFU put out an advert with an amazing receipe including uk ingredients and use the psychology of sales rather than their current tactic. Create a “desire “ for British produce rather than a “need”. People pay more for things they desire than things they need!

Who said art about thank a farmer

I’m generalising on these posts that start no farmer no.... or don’t moan about a farmer with your mouth full , thank a farmer for your breakfast etc....
Do you think these adds help or hinder our image ?

As long as they are amusing even self deprecating, no harm, but start being grumpy they will lose public support

I just thought that one provided some facts and was quite nicely done

I like my pancakes with golden syrup, the one with the lion on the tin, I used to think it was made from dead lions

I thought they squeezed it out of the flies or bees that swarmed around it.

The picture of a Lion on the tin is taken from a riddle Samson set his tormentors in the Old Testament.

Full marks that man! (well, almost!)

Lyle had strong religious beliefs, which is why the tin’s famous logo depicts strongman Samson’s ‘lion and bees’ from the Bible’s Old Testament, registered as Lyle’s trademark. ‘Out of the strong came forth sweetness’, as the quote goes; where bees produce honey inside the lion’s carcass, rich syrup pours from the well-loved tin… And the logo and design remain unchanged to this day (along with the delicious contents, of course).

It turns out that the inspiration is a Biblical episode (I’d forgotten it completely) in which Samson kills a lion, and returning to its body, finds that a swarm of bees have assembled a honeycomb inside it. Implausible as this natural history may be, it inspired Lyle’s founder, Scottish businessman Abram Lyle, to put the lion and the phrase “Out of the strong came forth sweetness” on his novel sugar syrup (which was originally a waste byproduct of the sugar refining process).

Almost?!

'This is a reference to the Biblical story in chapter 14 of the Book of Judges in which Samson was travelling to the land of the Philistines in search of a wife. During the journey he killed a lion, and when he passed the same spot on his return he noticed that a swarm of bees had formed a comb of honey in the carcass. Samson later turned this into a riddle at a wedding: "Out of the eater came forth meat and out of the strong came forth sweetness"'
