Pancake Tuesday: Dubs agree on favourite classic topping - but one eats hers with spinach and mushrooms

Pancake Tuesday is in full swing and it's likely that a number of Dubs have already indulged in gloriously gooey sweetness to mark the occasion.

But what is the best way to eat a pancake? Do you make them thin or fluffy? And which toppings make for the best pancake eating experience?

Dublin Live wanted to find out, so we decided to ask the fine people of the city what their chosen way of eating a pancake is.

Most were in agreement about the tastiest (yet most simple) way to eat a pancake which is with lemon and sugar. Hey, don't fix it if it ain't broken.

Although that proved to be the most popular, a good chunk of people also said that they enjoy fluffy American style pancakes with toppings like Nutella, maple syrup and bacon.

What really threw us was when one woman told us she enjoys her pancakes with spinach, mushrooms and cheese.

She explained: "As a child we used to buy them, but now I'm married to an Australian and he makes them. It's great, I'll have loads tomorrow."

Another woman told us that Pancake Tuesday is a new thing for her as she is originally from Canada.

She said: "We don't do it in Canada, so it's a novelty for me. I've loved here for four years. I eat a pancake every day. I like savoury pancakes for breakfast."

A small number of people claimed to not like pancakes. One woman went so far as to describe them as "horrible".
