This is what we Romanians call “pancakes” (clătite). In the US for example, these are not “pancakes”. What Americans call “pancakes”, we call “clătite americane” (American pancakes) or just “pancakes” (the untranslated English word).
~The pancakes in the photos were made by me~
Because placenta means cake in Latin, what we today call placenta being referred to in Latin as ‘placenta uteri’, ‘womb cake’. Yum.
