NationStates Jolt Archive

Whereas the nations of the world wish to unify their efforts at treating world hunger, and Whereas, no individual nation can claim title to the recipe of pancakes (that shall be given and be incorporated into this resolution), Convinced that the social and economic viability of the future of all nations would be best served trough a daily "Rain Shower of Pancakes" (TM); We the NationStates United Nations hereby resolve, that an agency to be named the United Nations "I Love the Taste of Pancakes in the Morning" Agency is hereby created.

The purpose of the United Nations "I Love the Taste of Pancakes in the Morning" Agency shall be to establish a permanent Airborn Pancake Delivery Service capable of distributing a daily "Rain Shower of Pancakes" (TM) to the needy and obese. The United Nations "I Love the Taste of Pancakes in the Morning" Agency shall be incorporated under the charter of the United Nations and shall provide the world with a daily "Rain Shower of Pancakes" (TM) made trough means of the following recipe for 2 to 3 servings that can be adapted trough means of extrapolation to create several billion servings that are daily needed to feed all the people of the world:

"1 cup all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2 tablespoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 large egg, slightly beaten; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; milk, just enough to make pourable batter - Combine dry ingredients. Stir in egg, oil, and enough milk for batter to pour easily. Mix lightly to blend. Cook pancakes on a hot, well greased griddle."

Each nation would be free to put any or no topping on these pancakes in accordance to national taste, reflecting its own culture and traditions. So say we the NationStates Untited Nations.

hmmm..What's the point of pancakes...If you dont have any syrup or toppings??

Dosnt sounds healthy without any....This Bill would impose a seperation of Nations rather than a unificationof Nations...Dosnt sounds good, NOW does it...A!

hmmm..What's the point of pancakes...If you dont have any syrup or toppings?? Yeah I thought of that, but it wouldn't accord with the last resolution that we addopted: freedom of choice remember? We could always hold a yearly pancake garnishing festival to get our nations closer together :)

I say we broaden it to invovle crepes and waffles. MMMM Waffles...

And here I was thinking that pancakes and crêpes were the same thing :P - got a good recipe for waffles? 8)

The nation of Rehochipe objects to baking powder in this recipe.

Many years ago, when Celdonian missionaries brought baking-powdery pancakes to our indigenous, bakingpowderless population, legend has it that our distant ancestors were so enraged at the dry, puffy, unsatisfying texture that they chopped up the missionaries and had them on the side with delicious non-fluffy pancakes. A rain of fluffy pancakes would therefore cause considerable public unrest in Rehochipe.

We are sure other nations have similar concerns.

Yeah that's the spirit, starve the people because the baking powder isn't PC! :D

Might we suggest that the 'hot, well-greased griddle' be embedded with the shape of a recently-clanged face, in honour of Komokom's fevered attempts to enforce 'democracy'?

Down with French fries AND freedom fries! Up with chips!

Strange and probably not going to happen. But I like it. The scientific costs would be way too high though.

Hmmm could you elaborate? What scientific costs? Trust me baking pancakes is not that hard, all UN nations could put there infractructure to use to make it happen and (state owned) corporations could be contracted to supply the ingredients. Even the more blood thrsty military UN member nations could contribute to the program and win the hearts and souls of the people they bomb to the stone age. What are they supposed to eat otherwise? Rocks? :wink:

Pancakes, Debylistan? And, what would be wrong with Hotcakes? Or Johnny Cakes? Why must they be PANCAKES? Basically, I like your idea, but PANCAKES?!?!?! Pancakes are for sissies. Hotcakes are for real men. If this idea goes through, I think that pancakes should be dropped for the women and children, and us guys can have HOTCAKES, just like we cook over the open fire at hunting camp. :D

what kinda damn waste of money is that jeez! you people are so unrealistic pankackes everyday first of all would get nasty and second that administation would cost soo much money

If this makes the floor, I'll resign from the UN permanentely.

good

(Face and voice, errr, "dead-pan, cake")

This evil plan to make me hungry has been pulled of nicely.

(In hysterics)

Jeeez, I think I am going to vote yes for this one when it hits the floor. I implore all delegates to swing it through, once it has been extended to include the pre-listed buffet and any other additions placed here previously or during drafting.

By the by, has any-one mention vanilla yogurt and fresh mixed fruit salad?

Hey people pancakes is just a first step, who knows it could be raining "Roasted Garlic-Glazed Chicken with Lemon-Herb Sauce and Creole Rice Pilaf" if we really wanted to. But since this is the UN and clearly some UN members are very touchy about proposals, I thought a daily shower of pancakes would go for now - so why don't you all approve this proposal so we can take it to the next level ;)

What if a varying menu was developed and nations could plan ahead what they wanted, say, one week we could have pan-cakes, the next, french-esque pastry with ham and cheese stuffing... next week after that, fresh fruit platter...

We'll need coffee too. And tea, both green and other-wise...

:)

Last chance to put this proposal up vor a vote - I've just made a call to my good friend John Lennon and he said: "All I am saying, is give pancakes a chance!" - so there you have it, approve this proposal and give it a chance of reaching quorum :D

:D Greetings!
I will approve about a situation this proposal. Some thin fried cakes should be the shape likely dinosaur. That how has my mother been them.
Thank you.
