↬  A Swiss agricultural institute made a revelation of why Swiss cheese has holes in it.

Pancake is one of the typical dishes in England. Someone says that the first recipe has been printed in 1434! There's a story behind this tradition. A woman was cooking some pancakes in her house, but suddenly she hears the sound of the bells that indicate the beginning of the confessions, then she runs toward the church with a frying-pan in her hands, and to not make pancakes burnt, this lady continued to make them jump in open-air.
