Pancakes. Is there a more romantic palate pleaser in the world? Yes. Yes there is. Can you say petits pots au chocolat? But there probably isn’t a better dish out there for showing off one’s super wrist suppleness and crepe-flipping skills. 
It’s time to give a toss about Shrove Tuesday. Check out His ‘n’ Hers Handbook’s sizzling selection of pancake date ideas…
Jazz up your pancakes
Soak up some live jazz and sink some cocktails with traditional US pancakes at The Blues Kitchen in Camden. The Long Island Ice Tea will compliment the tall stack of American pancakes oozing with maple syrup and crunchy bacon.
Pancake festival
Love is free and so are pancakes at Phipp Street Pancake Day Festival in East London on 4 March. Take your date to sample complimentary crepes between 11am and 3pm courtesy of the Urban Food Fest and Lyle’s Golden Syrup.
Parliament Pancake Race
Politics and pancakes meet as MPs, Lords and members of the Parliamentary Press gather to compete in a pancake race to raise money for the UK brain injury charity Rehab on 4 March. Who said discussing politics on a date was a crêpe idea?
Boozy batters
We all know a little alcoholic lubrication can help dating nerves. At The Waterpoet in Spitalfields there’s a sweet and savory booze-infused pancake menu for March 4 only. Where else can you get a lobster pancake infused with Pernod? Just don’t get battered.
Pancake challenge
Looking for a new aphrodisiac? Try a little healthy competition. How about challenging your date to eat 12 pancakes in less than 15 minutes for the Breakfast Club annual pancake competition?
Romance isn’t dead, it’s just got a rumbling belly.
