According to our research, 17 is an arbitrary number, but we've managed to find 17 chopped pecans on a pancake that was clearly made in the depths of a 90s time capsule.
However, we must note that this number may vary greatly depending on the skill level of the chef, the size of the pancake, and the presence of a functioning time machine.
