Yes it is. You’ll find it on breakfast menus in every part of the country, if they make them. There are variations though. What do you call them?

Well I'm 40 and lived all over the country and I've never heard it a single time. You sure you don't live in an alternate timeline? Also just to make sure I'm not crazy I looked at iHop's online menu and it's... just pancakes. Never heard anyone call a pancake anything other than a pancake.

Ah, yeah you're thinking of regular pancakes. In this thread, we're talking about crepes made in one of the Scandinavian styles. I haven't heard of IHOP selling those unless it's a special menu item.

Edit: I googled IHOP Swedish pancakes and they apparently had them for awhile and discontinued them a couple years ago.

Bizarre. :) From one well-traveled ~40-year-old to another, eat more breakfast.

The U.S. makes up most NATO spending.

I'm pretty sure no NATO countries actually consider the US a dependable ally at the moment. So US spending is kind of irrelevant really. And if the US were to actively work against its NATO allies (seems pretty likely at this point), US NATO spending would be considered more of a negative rather than a positive.

As a layman, I think this opinion is wrong. I think it's clear that the EU position vis-a-vis Russia would have been greatly compromised had it not been for the magnitude of U.S. military spending.

Being canadian, you just described different styles of pancakes that we just call all pancakes. Thin, thick, size of a plate, sand dollar size, size of your hands... just all called simply pancakes. I find the thick ones not good. Theres a chain of big pancakes size of plate restaurants called dedutch pannekoek house, or just dedutch.

Do Canadians not call the Scandinavian crepe style Swedish pancakes? That’s the common term in the US regardless of size and fold.

I have heard of it maybe at a distinct place, but not common.

Alot of things also passed off as crepe but not...

Not alot of standards lop

There definitely seems a correlation between how close a country is to Russia and how opposed to Russia they are. The ones sharing a border seem very anti whereas the USA seems to have flipped pro Russia.

The USA also shares a border with Russia if you count Alaska as part of the USA.
