#5 überfahren would be the proper term for running over, at least i haven't heard umfahren in that context before. though it does make sense, i think. this is where my language limits show xD
Sturmsilber
"umfahren" is correct in both ways, you have just to adjust the pronunciation. UMfahren - run over, hit someone; umfAhren - drive around.

#1 Never had them myself, but when I see people talk about them they say they basically just taste like egg, not pancakes as we imagine them. No sugar or anything to sweeten, just big old puffy egg cakes. Syrup likely helps but it can only do so much.
kazeshi
they have however much sugar you put in them. im not sure why this idea that they dont have any sugar or flavour comes from, you can make them with whatever you like in them.
im not a big fan of them due to the texture, but they have all the flavour you want.
rshini
It's because most places don't put near the amount of fucking sugar that Americans do - we have sugar in nearly fucking everything.
I've done the fluffy cheesecake, it's nowhere near as sweet as what'd you get here, but perfectly fine especially with apricot jam on top.

Those pancakes are pretty easy to make. Put pancake batter in a rice cooker and let it go.

#8 If we're supposed to dress fancy all day long, let's go back to the renaissance. Puffy-sleeved ruffle shirts with ample cleavage, tight chausses that show off the goods without being as constraining as modern skinny jeans. Plus high heels for short guys. All in bright colors of course. All formal men's clothing of the contemporary modern era has been so drab and boring.
akodorokku
See what stops me from dressing that way is I like being comfortable and I can't afford a thousand dollars per outfit.

‘Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo’ is a valid English sentence. Good luck.

It's also flat out wrong. Driving around an obstacle = "umfahren". Running someone/someting over = "überfahren"
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
You could totally use "umfahren" for that, it's just more colloquial. But it's pronounced "úmfahren" rather than "umfáhren".

In French,'plus' can be the opposite of 'plus' (more). Go fuck yourself.

"Geachtet" (respected) and "geächtet" (ostracised) are quite opposite as well.

That one is a myth. Inflammable only has one definition and is not a true contronym.

the issue here is that its root is latin, not old english. the prefix in have different meanings, but to lay person it is a issue

Something can be sanctioned and it can also be sanctioned and those mean opposite things.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
TO BE FAIRRRRR. A sanction is a status of limitation. So an action being sanctioned as acceptable to use means "You are limited to this action." While sanctioned as un-acceptable means "You have been limited from using this option." Therefor "limited" also has two opposite meaning but we use "limited from" and "limited to" in order to separate the meanings while we use more complex context clues for "sanctions."

Japanese pancakes are just big doughy soufflés without enough sugar or flavor. Japanese baked goods have all the flavor of drywall spackle.

Ha. Fuck off, they're awesome.

i dont agree at all, neither about the pancakes nor the baked goods. maybe you just bad ones or your taste buds are blown out on sugar or something?
fluffy pancakes are not my favorite, but they have all the flavour and sugar you put into them (or whoever is making them of course). there is a huge variety of baked goods and some are very plain, so dont buy them if you dont want a plain thing. but you can say that about any nations baked goods (ever had a plain cake donut?)
arikelrecords2000
My taste buds are blown out on sugar.
netutoring
I got downvoted to oblivion a few months back just for asking if that's accurate. Oh, imgur, you fickle thing. But yeah, that's what I've heard. It's all about how it looks, or creating an effect. Flavor is not a consideration.
vindik8or
It's not accurate. They're delicate, delicious, and come with so many different and seasonal flavours. All the idiots claiming this have never even been, at best tried and failed to make them for themselves, but most likely just lack imagination and can't get past their own faulty preconceptions.
SunnyCameron
Japanese cuisine is…..mild. That’s about the nicest way I can say it. The food is often beautifully presented, and some of it greatly benefits from restrained preparation due to the inherent qualities of the item itself (sushi, sashimi).
But somehow they’re the only country with a curry that isn’t spicy.
netutoring
I have heard a theory that the Japanese are good at replicating the look of a dish and even improving the elegance of the presentation, but don't value the taste. Sounds like what you're talking about.
SunnyCameron
I think it’s just more the product of cultural tradition. They’re a hugely homogenized society, and their culinary history is very static and tends to use similar flavor profiles in most of their dishes because up until the last 100 years or so they didn’t really have access or trade with places that made more flavorful food. It’s hard to innovate with bigger flavor profiles if you don’t have the ingredients it requires.
kazeshi
its absolutely not accurate. japan has plenty of plain tasting baked goods, but unless you are buying unflavoured stuff or have your taste buds totally blown out by sugar, they have plenty of flavour.
i buy a bunch of snacks from a japanese store multiple times a year to share with family and friends, they are far from flavourless. in general they share a lot of similarities to european baked goods, especially france. this is due to the massive european influence in the meiji restoration
ElChupaNuggra
Says the person from the culture that can't eat Pancakes without 3 liters of Maple Syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and enough berries to make an old woman salivate at the mouth thinking of turning your leftovers into winter preserves for the whole family. Maybe they taste 'bland' to you because you're so used to flooding your mouth with oversugared crap that anything that doesn't have a flavor that comes at you with the force of a firehose doesn't 'consider' flavor.
stokessd
The amount of syrup provided is comically inadequate for that volume of cake. They need to come to New England and understand proper cake to syrup ratios. The wife and I buy it by the gallon.

Had them in Kyoto, was not impressed. Sure, the texture looks like it's fun to eat, but I'd rather go for other things
freakdiablo
Heard the same.
Some of the best pancakes I've had were from a diner near where I grew up. They were whole wheat with walnuts and diced apples. Looked the exact opposite of this - denser and darker. But being flat top cooked, they were crunchy. Not just on the edges, the nuts gave it a bite throughout. And the apples made them sweet without being overly sugary. Damn, I'm hungry now.
SunnyCameron
The thing that makes a pancake great is the Maillard reaction, and the way to maximize that is through sugar, fat, air (or baking soda), and high heat.
A Japanese pancake forgoes nearly all of this to make a bland pillow with low surface area-to-mass ratio.
It’s the opposite of what a pancake is supposed to be.
vindik8or
Unreal how confident you are in this bullshit. Not only can you easily get maillard reaction on soufflé pancakes, but they have loads of flavour before you even get to any of multitude of delicious toppings that go so well with them. They're basically made with an identical recipe to the venerable Kaiserschmarrn pancake only varying in the final preparation. I guess everyone who has ever enjoyed that recipe or a sweet soufflé is an undiscerning plebe? Or maybe it's the other option...
SunnyCameron
Kaiserschmarnn has a much lower air: batter ratio and is served in small pieces covered in powered sugar and jellied fruit. They’re nothing like Japanese pancakes in the slightest. Plus, you’re being really fucking rude for no reason.
