Hi, Saliha - You're absolutely correct as to the size and thickness of what you make (similar to a crepe) and the traditional American or European (for the most part) "pancake". It took me a bit to get used to pancakes like what you generally get in restaurants around here - seemed too thick and "doughy" for me, at first. But they truly are awfully good. I sat in a breakfast only restaurant recently and watched a man who had a heart attack on a plate, so to speak - a full double stack of about six to eight pancakes, slathered in butter and syrup, along with three fried eggs, home fried potatoes and a complete rasher of bacon. He was overweight - to put it mildly - and I wondered if his doctor knew how he eats! Oh well - I'll bet it tasted pretty darned good, though!
I was thinking on the issue of how different things are cooked in different countries and what different phrases can be used or different traditions and customs observed in different places and it occurred to me that even Ireland and Finland are different in so many ways - for example, over a good drink of wine, liquor or beer you say "Skole" (at least I think you do - I know they do in Denmark) and in Ireland, we say "Slante". It all means the same wish for good health, good luck and/or good life in either country - just a different way of expressing it. I love that kind of "difference". So too, with customs and traditions and the cooking of various foods. Makes the world go round, doesn't it?
