I wonder how pancake jokes stack up to others.

Like most things, some are batter and others fall flat.

My uncle, thinking it was funny, once ordered pancakes with onions for me while we were visiting Ghent. I can not really recommend that dish I'm afraid

If you think that's bad, don't try laverbread...

It's an "acquired taste" apparently. Not one I've acquired ... Always tastes to me of seaweed stewed in vinegar for a week or two and served on old socks.

Realizing all the various type, we each identify a pancake a bit differently.
My major pancake eating has always been of the potato variety. Often referred to as 'potato latkes'. They would be outstanding with onions! Savory!
Variants in the topping (for the potato variety) I commonly hear are: apple sauce, sour cream, salt, and sugar. I was raised in the salt group, but the 'other' side of my parental lineage were applesauce users. Once, to my horror, my children put ketchup on them - they've since learned the error of their ways.
"Flapjack" style, however, puts me squarely in your corner on this.

At long last - don't know what the problem was, but their website still says the order is "processing" and "hasn't shipped yet". Fortunately their support is good, if a bit slow since it works on California time, not UK.
My word this is a big lump! Herself as started referring to it as "my kitchen sex toy", but you'd have to be .... umm ... rather brave for that.
So big in fact, that I've already had to move to Plan B: Plan A was to repurpose the old, dead Sous Vide Supreme as the water chamber (since it's already insulated and got a lid I can make a hole in) but it takes so much space that just won't fly. Plan B is to multi-use the deep frier, since it holds 8L of oil it'll hold plenty of food without crowding. I'll have to get a new lid and insulate the body but that shouldn't be a problem, I think a Gastronorm 1/2 lid should fit pretty well.
Connecting it to WiFi wasn't without problems - you have to create an account at the Anova end, and the developers lowercase your email for storage and then compare your entry against that without lowercasing your input. So enter your email as "Paul.Griffin@..." to set up the account and again to log in and it can't find it... 
It's also damn slow at sending out the account verification email - it took about 40 minutes to arrive which is a little silly.
Still it's connected, and sending notices to my phone that it's preheating. Don't see how to control if from a PC, which would be an irritant, but it seems to heat prety quickly - less than twenty minutes to 60C from 19C ambient. The temp reading doesn't seem quite as accurate as the old unit which agreed with my infrared thermometer, but I can adjust for that if I have to.
Only trouble is I don't have anything to cook in it for tonight as I didn't know it would be here

It's IoT - so it can be controlled via the WiFi from anywhere. In theory, that means you can start it cooking when you leave work, and it's ready when you get home. Not exactly a problem for me, but ...

So, given the correct password, I can turn off your sous-vide and you would come home to a raw dinner? 
Does it come with a virus-scanner, or is that your own problem?

Well, I suppose you could always use the IoT aspect to sabotage your rivals on Masterchef but I'm still not really feeling the urge to get my kitchen on-line.

That was a more entertaining read than I was expecting 
Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.

Nor am I!
But it does have one advantage - the on-device user interface is simple, just a thumbwheel for temperature select and a start / stop button, so Herself should get used to it pretty quickly (It took her two years to cope with the 6 buttons on the Sous Vide Supreme, it wasn't all that obvious). But the more complex stuff is available via the phone, which means you get a better UI at both ends - complex when you need it, but the bare minimum basics when you don't.
This is about the only IoT device I can actually see a use for in the kitchen - starting your food as you head for home so it's ready when you walk in? Handy.
IoT kettle? No.
IoT toaster? Stop being silly.
