P is for pancakes

Posted on April 19, 2014

I love breakfasts in New York City.

My favourite breakfast of all time is pancakes, bacon and maple syrup.

I have this breakfast at home quite a lot as my husband is the best at making pancakes the proper way, just like in the States.

So, my first morning in New York City we found a diner near to our hotel. I was amazed that diners are open at 6am when we ventured out, but they were and we weren’t the only people up at that time in the morning.

I couldn’t resist ordering pancakes for breakfast. I was adamant that I would experiment with food while we were aware and come out of my comfort zone. But I just couldn’t resist pancakes and coffee.

However, I was not prepared for the size of the pancakes that I was served. Huge, and I mean huge in that they completely filled the plate and there were three of them.

Three giant pancakes, lashings of bacon done just the way I like it and smothered with maple syrup. As I am typing this I can vision it myself, and my mouth is watering.

What a delicious start to my stay in New York!
