The Big Lebowski – Lingonberry Pancakes

The Cohen brothers have been producing movies for a very long time now and we wouldn’t want to forget a single one of them. So, let’s go back in time and stop in 1998 in a movie theater. Take a seat. What’s playing? Nothing else than “The Big Lebowski” in all its glory. People of all ages are laughing their butts off, so why shouldn’t we stay here for a while?

This movie is about and identity mix up. Apparently, there are two Jeffrey Lebowski kicking around. A dull mistake isn’t what the Cohen’s offer: in fact, one Jeffrey is an unemployed hippy, known as the Dude, while the other is a millionaire with serious problems on his back. The initial mix up is bond to lead to eventful days and chaotic scenes, dominated by kidnappers, a nympho wife, a toe in an envelope, and a mystery to solve.

When we went back in time I was feeling a little hungry so I couldn’t help noticing the food on the big screen. Lingonberry pancakes: yummy hot pancakes served in a diner to the possible kidnappers. Just the sound of it tastes good. Take a bite with the crazy cast of “The Big Lebowski”!
