Pfankuchen - pancake or crepe?

Germany's like the U.S. in the way we don't put pictures on menus. Nevertheless, when I went out for brunch with my wife, I ordered Pfankuchen mit blaubeeren, thinking "pancakes with blueberries" -- what could possibly go wrong?

This is what they brought out. It's not "wrong," per se, and it was good, but it was a reminder that -- like "bread" -- words don't always communicate the ideas you think they do.
