Can amerilads explain this do me? Why does american advertising show pancakes with a giant slab of butter on top of the stack? There's no way you just eat a giant clump of butter with syrup right?

The pancakes are hot. The butter melts. You spread it around before you eat.

Pancakes are literally sugar bread fried in butter. Why on earth would you need to melt more on top of them?

As an American I can say Americans are fat disgusting fucks they'll put any thing that tastes good on anything it's why we have an obesity epidemic I've seen people put multiple slabs of butter on pancakes and sometimes pure sugar it's sickening

This is how pancakes were served back in the day when they were a farmhand or laborer's breakfast. Twelve hours of physical work a day requires a lot of calories. A farmhand could easily burn over 3000 calories in a day. So the extra butter on top was really not much for someone like that, the same way not second thought was given to having a slice of pie with lunch if it was an option.

Many Americans are nostalgic for that way of eating. The big farmhouse breakfasts, the giant sandwiches intended to be a laborer's lunch, a large dinner centered around some kind of meat (hopefully beef) with dessert served after... Eating like that makes sense if you're doing heavy physical work all day, but most Americans aren't, yet they want to eat like that anyway. That's a big part of why we've got so many fat diabetics.

In America butter isn’t a luxury ingredient like it is for you europoors. The average American eats a stick of butter per day.

I had a friend in high school whose dad was a food stylist and this was his job. This was before the internet took off so it was pretty neat knowing this stuff like how most scooped ice cream is mashed potato with color dye.

They had a lot of coffee loaded with cream and sugar. And ate a lot of pie. Same thing.

For most of our history the primary cooking fats were bacon grease, lard and butter. Butter was also THE common table condiment.

You’re now aware that the pinnacle of French cooking is literally about how much butter you can cook into a dish
