England Saved From Pancake Horror!
Sorry guys, having a bit of a crappy week and I just flat out missed this one in the paper. England Saved From Pancake Wielding Menaces! I will try to be better in the future in keeping you all informed about the menace that Pancakes cause to all of humanity.

Hey! Come on! Somebody could put an eye… Well, I mean, first it’s all fun and good times, but then… A heavy as those things are…
Nope.
That just plain sucks.

Clearly you have never seen that safety video when the pancake severs the dudes carotid then rolls down his chest splitting him open to the waist. ‘Pancakes of Doom’, we had to watch it in Home Ed before we could go anywhere near the savage things.

It’s not the pancakes themselves, it the terror of the awful pans! Watch out, crepes are next. And don’t even get me started on waffle irons.
The horror. the horror.

In a similar seasonal silliness — there is the King cake served around Fat Tuesday / Mardi Gras. It has a small baby figurine (sometimes a bean or a coin) and whoever gets the slice with the object hosts the party the following year or has good luck, etc.
Ok, so you get it? The item is HIDDEN in the cake.
Yesterday I got a King cake at the Giant (and admittedly we aren’t in a major Carnival area) and the baby was sticking up out of the cake. Along with a warning on the box that there is a non-edible baby in the cake. But yeah, big surprise who gets that slice…

The King cake issue is easy to solve, Carol. Just do all the cutting and serving and eating in the dark!
