🥞Pancake Parlour Part 2: ‘Unreasonable’ Use of Maple Syrup and Food Truck Memories

After our Pancake Parlour episode, so many listeners shared their own unhinged Pancake Parlour stories. They were simply too good to not share! In our follow-up episode, we hear what constitutes ‘unreasonable’ use of maple syrup, what a wedding with Pancake Parlour catering was actually like and a few more classic sweet and savoury memories.

Right at the end you’ll hear a vintage Pancake Parlour ad with some rather questionable (to put it lightly) savoury menu options listed.

It’s time to step inside the Ingredipedia courtroom where Ben and Emily present their cases for and against the Pancake Parlour.
