“Pancakes? But that is neither new nor special!”
Elrond stared in shock.

“Not the regular ones, no. These are extra thin and served with some exotic fruits the guests brought as gifts. I sampled it, really lovely - something complicated involving compote of the fruit, its peel cooked in sugar, and fruit liqueur, also a gift, used liberally. For serving, there is something involved called flambée, and the result is something else indeed.”

“Flambée?”

“Some spirit is poured over it and set aflame.”

“I see.” Elrond rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“And how is this miraculous fruit called?”

“Oranges.”
