Introduction	"Hot cakes cooked in bear grease or pork lard were popular from earliest times in American history. First made of cornmeal, these pancakes were best served piping hot and were often sold at church benefits, fairs, and other functions." From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997) So to be ‘like hotcakes’ is to be simple, hot, easy to digest, not entirely good for you and enjoyed by all.
