>My wife just got back from a bidness trip to Aberdeen, Scotland. Aparently cable-TV services are really expensive there, so she was stuck watching standard broadcast TV in her off-hours, despite staying in an insanely expensive hotel.

>One of the shows she caught was a cooking show (we watch a lot of Food Network at home) and a caller wanted to know how to make "fluffy American pancakes." So the chef went on to describe the recipe: so many grams of flour, egg yokes, then egg whites beaten separately, some cream, a pinch of sugar and (optionally) ricotta cheese. No mention of salt or the most important ingredient - baking powder. The guy was making crepes (I think), but definitely not pancakes!


He forgot butter milk too.
