Eating bur clover pancake

Unlike the common vegetable pancakes that are stuffed with fragrant-flowered garlic, the ones filled with bur clover are a seasonal specialty that can only be enjoyed at the Start of Summer.

Aside from helping to keep good health, the pancakes also signal the transition of the seasons.
