Many people are familiar with the humble pancake topped with maple syrup, but in other places in the world, pancakes (or crepes) have been served with innumerable fillings or toppings, for example, whipped cream, fruit slices, chocolate syrup, fruit jams, scrambled eggs and bacon on the side, filled with fruits, chocolate or even chopped ham, tuna or chicken chunks.
