Hot or not: Ranking pancake toppings from Newcastle Uni students

The joy of Pancake Day, the one day a year some look forward to – others experience it every single day (me).

You can enjoy the luscious four ingredient delicacy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are versatile, quick and somehow aesthetic – depending on the toppings. But our job at The Newcastle Tab is to laugh at some of you behind a screen because your taste buds are seemingly comparable to a psychopath or a child, I’m not quite sure what’s worse…

‘Lemon and Sugar’

This is the pancake version of lemon and herb at Nando’s. You seem fun at parties x

‘Bacon and maple syrup’

This mix of sweet and savory does not sit right with me at all, but you do you (creep).

‘If it’s a crepe pesto and cream cheese’

It’s important to add that this submission added the hiding emoji, good. You should be ashamed. Pesto pasta cannot be shaped into anything and this shows.

‘Gravy’

As a gravy stan I have to back this, full biased. Nothing beats it. A flat Yorkshire Pudding if you must know before I get cyberbullied…

‘Jam’

Is everything okay at home?

‘Protein yogurt (got to build my own pancake of an ass)’

I feel you, I see you and I hear you – but I am disgusted. Scrap the gains just for Pancake Day I beg.

‘Blueberries, raspberries and honey’

Health is wealth, get your five a day in queen.

‘Nutella WITH lemon juice is sooo fire don’t knock it till you try it’

The only thing that needs knocking is your head. Lemon and chocolate is for certified freaks.

‘Sweet: cocoa powder, savory: ham and cheese or egg, spinach and mushroom’

Lock him up and throw away the key. All three responses have me gagged both literally and metaphorically. Egg on a pancake is crazy, just make an omelette I BEG.

‘Cinnamon and strawbs’

Yawn I’m bored.

‘Nutella and strawberries’

Pick me, choose me, love me

‘Bananas and marmite’

Straitjacket, NOW.

‘Condensed milk’

Soggy, lifeless but sweet – comparable to poor naive freshers getting with their first Rugby boy. Stay away.

‘Some freak I know puts baked beans on theirs’

How can you order a DBS check?

‘5 ft 2 blonde girls’

Cannibalism, not what I expected. Be vigilant ladies if this applies to you before you end up on a pancake.

‘Yogurt, banana, frozen summer fruits and honey maybe with some chia seeds’

Just have a smoothie at this point. You definitely post an insufferable yet aesthetic picture of your influencer pancake every year.

‘Ham’

This is a cry for help x
