Thai delight voted fourth best pancake in the world by TasteAtlas

[snoop1130]

 

Khanom Krok, a Thai dessert pancake, has been ranked the world’s fourth best pancake and the best in Southeast Asia in February’s Tasteatlas listing.

 

The website ranked the top 50 pancakes globally, including seven from Southeast Asia. The top three are France’s crepe, Germany’s Kaiserschmarrn and China’s Jianbing.

 

Khanom Krok is made of a mixture of rice flour, sugar and coconut milk, with or without toppings such as shredded taro, shredded corn kernels or coriander leaves, after the batter is fried.

Methodology

The methodology of TasteAtlas is seemingly simple. Visitors vote, and we tally the votes and publish the rankings.

Our key mechanism is a system we developed that differentiates genuine from invalid votes. We track the visitor's behavior on our web, we track all his ratings, and depending on whether the system recognizes him as a real visitor or as a nationalist or a bot, his votes are recognized or ignored. You can't visit TasteAtlas, slap fives and fours on Italian cheeses, ones and twos on French, and expect your votes to count. You can't come to TasteAtlas, give a few ratings, and expect your votes to be valid.

Not sure I think that looks like a pancake. I still rate Thai food as some of the best food in the world.

Love it

What is a "shrove"?  Is it like a chode? 

[dinsdale]

They are nice (pancake definition?) but I think rotis are the most popular "pancake" in Thailand. Muslim/Indian origin.

Absolutely correct although the world really has soooooo much great food to offer. This is one of my favourites in Thailand. Kai mot daeng. Red ant's eggs salad.

You have to christen the frying pan!

I think there was a typo there, it should read 'the 40th best dessert in the world' as only people with no idea as how

a dessert should tests would even consider this food abomination to be included in the competition at all...

The category was restricted to pancakes....all the rest were 'crepe'.

Yes the British pancake is the best, thin (other wise called Crepes), lemon juice, sprinkled with sugar, then rolled.

 Not like the thick ones that Thais and the Americans seem to prefer. YUK  

 

and we only had them one day of the year, not for forking breakfast everyday.

Sure but can you tell us how you really feel about it   

 

[Srikcir]

If you've had French crepes, try the Russian blintze (aka blini).

It is the day before Christian Lent, when they were Shriven = absolved from their sins, before the 40 days of Lent, when JC was in the Devil's wilderness. The date is variable so it cannot be true! Summat to do with t'moon.

The making of Pancakes was supposed to use up all the 'nice' food in the home.....flour, milk & eggs.
