<< review queue entry 62508 - submitted by 'sl89' >> 煎饼 isn't a western pancake, which is more commonly called a 薄煎饼/薄饼 in Chinese. I'm not an expert but the Chinese 煎饼 is also apparently more like a crêpe than a pancake. (The OED defines crêpe as “A small, thin pancake.”, so there's not a huge difference there.) Lately I've seen it referred to simply as “jianbing” in the western press, so there's no reason not to define with this here. 【Wenlin】n. thin pancake 【Pleco】NOUN thin pancake made of millet flour, etc. 【Wikipedia】Jianbing Jianbing (simplified Chinese: 煎饼; traditional Chinese: 煎餅; pinyin: jiānbǐng; literally: "fried pancake") is a traditional Chinese street food similar to crepes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jianbing 【As Chinese ‘Crepe’ Catches On Abroad, a Fight to Preserve Its Soul】 When is a pancake not a pancake?
