Believe me, if my library had chocolate there would be no way I'd give that out at the reference desk :) Well, in this case, the staples in question were just those little metal things that hold bits of paper together.

"Prei" is leeks. "Garnering" means garnishings -- sauces, possibly, or condiments, whatever, depending. As for where the books are ... I was rather amused by the second line, considering the overall subject. "Here are more staples." Hokay. My staples are popcorn, chocolate, and champers. And cheese, and single malt scotch. What staples does <strong>your</strong> library carry? :D Yep, ham, brie, and chives. “Prei” is leeks. “Garnering” means garnishings — sauces, possibly, or condiments, whatever, depending.

No resemblance to the "IHoP" places in the U.S., International House of Pancakes, which are just a scant degree above bifburger joints and feature all sorts of foods, many of a breakfasty nature. No, these pancake houses (pannekoekhuizen) recognize the pancake for what it is: a main meal. They come large as a plate, or larger, and in varieties. Shanghai pancakes with bacon, paprika, onions, bean sprouts, egg, and spanish peppers. Or how about Twentse pancakes with ham, salami, and cheese? Hearty pancakes with cheese, onions, and champignons, or with ham and cheese? Not to mention the various sweet pancakes: apple and bacon; apple and banana; pineapple, ham, and cheese; mandarin oranges and confectioners sugar ... And, no, these weren't crepes. At least not when I was young. They were pancakes! Oy, were they ever pancakes ... Feast your eyes on the menu -- even if you don't understand Dutch, the sheer length of the list is impressive: http://www.pannenkoekhuis.nl/menu.html Tanuki (feeling suddenly VERY hungry indeed!)
