Hmm. I've had pancakes with all manner of butter, including some varieties that were whipped something fierce; might it have been something like that? I've also had them (usually fruit pancakes) with whipped cream. Other than those, I'm not sure. It could have been a regional thing, too.

I can see you.

Cool. My local at uni does raspberry beer, though can't remember where it hails from. Most people hate it or try to make an effort to label it as 'some girlie beer', but I happen to like it. Would like to get my hands on some of that blueberry variety tho... mmmmmm.

Honestly - many of you will be aware how fraught things are between me & my boss at the moment. Yet he's just had the nerve to ask me help him catch a spider and remove it from his office!! Should have sneaked it in his drawer....!
Hmmm, the butter thing - not regional, have had it at a couple of hotels around the country. Ah well, just curious.

I'm envisioning these little white plastic cubes where you peel off the paper top and inside is a dollop of very creamy butter that was squirted inside through a nozzle that makes a kind of swirled star shape; at least that's the sort of pancake butter I'm used to getting at hotels and some restaurants. Does that come close to describing what you mean?

Have never seen it in a container I'm afraid - just in squares unwrapped. It's very pale, virtually white and definitely salty...
And I'm going to stop thinking about this now because am getting very hungry!

Sounds like whipped butter, ayep. Most butter here comes somewhat salted; in fact it's clearly labeled "unsalted" otherwise.
An hour and twenty minutes until lunchtime. Will I be a good li'l Spinny and avoid the snack counter until then, hmm?

Fray-definitely salted whipped butter. That's the only thing that comes in squares like that.
This talk of blueberries makes me sad. Why? Because every summer my family used to go to my grandparents house in Maine. There's a huge field near their house where we'd go and pick blueberries by the bucketful. Then we'd bake bake bake away. Pies, muffins, cobbler etc. We'd eat them in our cereal, we'd have fruit salad. We'd just eat them by the handful. We'd freeze bagfulls to take back home with us. And my grandfather would always make his World Famous Incredibly Delicious Blueberry Pancakes (Fray, you haven't eaten pancakes until you've had these.) Well, my grandmother passed away last March and my grandfather this March. We went up last summer for my grandmother's memorial, but it was early June, not blueberry season. We didn't go up this summer. My dad went in March for the funeral, but we didn't go. I don't know if we'll go up as a family again. And it just makes me so sad. I LOVE Maine and I used to just love being at my grandparents house. So now blueberries make me sad.
So, you sure I can't get a slice of that blueberry pie?
Fray-tell your boss to be a man and get rid of his own spider, the whimp!

Well not to venture back into IT land but I reinstalled someone's printer for them this morning and came back from lunch to be rewarded with a big bar of Dairy Milk! So I'm happy!
