Pancake Boat

We took a tour of Rotterdam’s port on the Pannenkoeken Boot, which literally means “pancakes boat.”

Sure enough, they served all you can eat pancakes throughout the journey. The pa cakes, which are more like thick crepes than thick American style flapjacks, come in three varieties: spek (bacon), appel (apple), and normaal (plain.)

As the chefs make them, they are plated and set on the appropriate shelf. The pancake shelf is inside the cupboard you see in one of the photos.

After you grab a pancake, there’s a bar full of items you can add, such as fruit, cold cuts, cheese, and all sorts of sugary sweet things. I went for spek, soft-boiled egg, and brie.

It’s a nifty set up!Read more
