Please don't think I was trying to be abrupt...just trying to explain I guessI would call Denny's the "typical American Pancakes" but there are better!American pancakes are much thicker than the crepes. And not that I don't like the crepes. In fact with some berries like you pictured them they are wonderful.
I was just speaking on the "expectation" what we call in America is different than what you folks down under call things. So when I do into a restaurant and order something that in American I expect to be one thing, it is totally different down under. That's all no problem with your breakfast, or Australian pancakes they looked wonderful.
Trust me I understand expectations
The whole Napkin situation can be rather interesting
In terms of flavour I think these would be similar...just in terms of texture maybe different? They are always much drier the way I make them and less fluffy.
Buttermilk makes them thicker usually...which is certainly a common thing found in the US.
Wow....that's cool getting a lessonLooks YUMMY! Lovely.......crepes.....pancakes!
So thin? My pancakes are more like the American style or Pancake Parlour type irrespective of what batter mix I use.
I learnt how to make crepes and pancakes from a French lady we met in Scotland. She invited us to go stay with her when we got into France. She put us up for 3 nights and cooked.....DIVINE! I don't know if what she showed me was a typical recipe or not but even with her crepe mix, she used an egg in hers. The major difference that I saw between the pancake and the crepe mix was that she let her crepe mix sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge before using. According to her, it gets all the air out and you can get a really thin batter that way, without air bubbles.
And Alison - yes, expectations based on language differences are really funny. I went into a chemist/pharmacy once and asked for tissues. I was expecting Kleenex. I got toilet paper!!
So glad you're all home and reunited
I'm seriously on cloud 9 right now 
We actually talked about that
