Cultural Note
Dutch pannenkoeken are thinner than American pancakes but thicker than French crepes. They come in both sweet (sugar, stroop, fruit) and savoury (bacon, cheese, apple) varieties. Dedicated 'pannenkoekenhuizen' (pancake houses) are popular family restaurants. Calling someone a 'pannenkoek' is a mild, humorous insult meaning they are clumsy.
