Tomato on my pancake?!

As far as food goes, London has so many options it will make your head spin. Out of all of my food adventures in London, the weirdest and most interesting would have to be a savory pancake from My Old Dutch. When my friend Ben told me we had to go eat there, I was intrigued. A savory pancake? What could that mean? Was it meant to be eaten like a normal pancake? Was it going to be the same texture as other pancakes? Would I hate it? I had so many questions and so few answers, but I decided to just go for it. We arrived at the restaurant and I was so pleasantly surprised. It was such a cute atmosphere and there were flowers and cute little signs everywhere! The menu was huge and there were so many strange pancakes to choose from. There were sweet pancakes, savory pancakes, mini pancakes with chocolate sauce, and so many more that made my mouth water! I landed on the spinach and tomato pancake and excitedly waited for my order to come out. When it came out, it was on the absolute biggest plate I had ever seen. The pancake was HUGE. It was covered in yummy cheese, bacon, spinach, and baby tomatoes and my heart soared. The pancake wasn’t as think as American style pancakes. It felt more like a giant crepe than a pancake. It was very thin and large, so I was stumped by how I was going to even eat this. I ended up folding it over and making a kind of cone sandwich thing. The only thing I could want more from the delectable pancake was some sauce. It felt a little dry, but some hot sauce fixed that problem right up. This was definitely the most unique food experience I have ever had and I LOVED it!
