"No, that's MY Mammy racist stereotype."

Walker		2012-06-16 12:55:18 PM

Aunt Jemima died to me when they made her take off her kerchief.

Walker: Aunt Jemima died to me when they made her take off her kerchief.

But she will always be superior to that worthless whore Mrs. Butterworth.

If you make pancakes from a box and can't manage to mix the flour, salt and baking powder yourself, then you should probably just give up in the kitchen.

If you you are such a foodie that you have to give grief to people that make pancakes from a box, then you should probably give up on life.

If you think a hipster is someone that defends people who eat pancakes made from a box, you might have a vocabulary problem.

OK, you could make pancakes from a box but why eat them with brown colored corn syrup?

catonacid		2012-06-16 03:19:54 PM

I wish old Aunt Jamima was my aunt so I wouldn't have to eat pancakes made from a box.

Ah yes, it mentions spam. I always wondered who Hormel thought they would stop.

Snoqualmie Falls pancake mix is rather tasty for a premix. Most of them are tasteless.

I can't use that stuff. When I was a kid I had a nightmare about a living bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Scared the shiat out of me.

What flavor are my pancakes supposed to have, other than "flour"? I have always just treated them as a socially acceptable way to delivery raw fat and sugar to my mouth, and I've been pretty happy with that plan.

What a mammy stereotype might look like

Also, for shiate and giggles

This. Maple syrup or GTFO.

The R. T. Davis Milling Company hired former slave Nancy Green as a spokesperson for the Aunt Jemima pancake mix in 1890.[1] Nancy Green was born in Montgomery County, Kentucky, and played the Jemima character from 1890 until her death on September 24,

My great great uncle had her come to our town and make pancakes.

I just had homemade pancakes made with some blueberry milk I picked up on a whim. They were damn tasty, but I doubled-down and used the pancakes to wrap up some bratwursts!! A little real maple syrup, and I'm... going back to sleep.

CygnusDarius		2012-06-17 02:43:16 PM

Yeah, but no one talks about Uncle Jemima...

My niece was visiting from Germany and was kind of grossed out that we use syrup. Apparently Nutella is the spread of choice.

I think syrup is gross too, but so is the idea is using nutella. I like a little salt on mine.

This just in, most people make pancakes from a mix.

There was a time when former slaves were the original celebrity chefs.
