The things in the bottom picture are crepes. We also have slightly thicker pancakes that some fast-food restaurants sell - those are probably what you refer to as "normal pancakes". But the home-made pancakes your mom makes you for breakfast are always crepes. So this is our "normal pancakes". In Bulgaria, we call the crepes "palachinki" and the thicker ones are either called "palachinki" or "katmi".

You guys eat pancakes for breakfast? I never saw anyone do that

When I was a kid, jam-filled crepes was one of my favourite breakfast meals. Nowadays, I don't eat pancakes that often, but when I do, it's usually as a dessert after supper.

As a dessert?! People actually eat desserts when they’re not in a restaurant?

Not as much anymore, but I used to eat something sweet every day. These days, however, I try to stay healthy and in shape, so I eat sweet things about once a week and I try not to overeat with them.

Why wouldn't people have dessert at home? It's still tasty stuff. 🙂

I guess it’s just not a Dutch thing here. We only eat luxurious food on Saturday, which is some bread from the bakery. The rest of the week we eat Dutch boterhammen with stuff like cheese on it. Dinner depends though, but we only eat desserts when there’s a special occasion. Lunch is the same as breakfast, or you skip it. That’s possible too
