Pancakes or Waffles

Waffles, hrr. Not bad, but I'd prefer pancakes. Sweet-tasting pancakes that have raisins inside them scattered. They should taste sweet without these raisins too, the most basic pancake that can be so d'licious to the human senses. Mmmmm. And powdered sugars: mmmmm. Though I'd prefer the darkish thick pancake syrup.... MMMMMMM!

I don't get it with those bacon pancakes and such. How can anyone eat those, let alone INVENT the idea? A pancake, supposed to be sweet, but then you got salty bacon on it? Hrrr >.< Of course, to everybody his taste. It's just that I'd PUKE immensely when eating one myself, physically, and then think of the psychological oddity when one expects something sweet-tasting :) It's like you have a sweet-tasting pie, but for some reason they invented those "pies" that have meat and other salt stuff in it. Blegh!

Romanian pancake-e things which you might call crepes. Otherwise, it's waffles.

heh, i made it so the poll wont close until feb. 2009. i need your guys' help in not letting this get deleted!!!
Anyway, im starting to think that i should have taken GAH out. it takes votes away from waffles. GO WAFFLES!!!

Waffles. The texture is superior. I got really sick of eating pancakes after the second one. Waffle, on the other hand, didn't bore me.

Or something like that.

And vanilla ice cream is better on waffles than pancakes. Or jams, syrup, and a bottle of honey for that matter. The only thing that goes better with pancakes than waffles is butter.

*this only includes American considerations. I'm not exactly familiar with European cuisine. And that Dutch bacon-pancake thing sounds intriguing. Very intriguing. After all, I'm the kind of guy who goes all out on the most murderous piece of oily, grilled soul food ever made with a glutton's smile and still remain unhealthily thin.

I'm not even sure if they're still in existence, but there used to be a chain of restaurants here in the States called Panakuken Hus(spelling?). The pancakes there were (supposedly) made in the Dutch style, which I confess I found to be just marvelous. They were really tasty! :yes:

That aside, however, I don't care for the pancakes we Americans like to make. They always just taste....flat to me. :shrug:

The only thing that waffles dont have over pancakes are the places named after them
Waffles: The Waffle House.:skull:
Pancakes: IHOP or Original Pancake House. ~:pimp:

French Toast

It's not the pancakes that are supposed to taste delicious, it's what you put on them that makes them one of the greatest breakfast foods out there. Try pancakes with Vermont Maple Syrup and you'll know what I mean. Grade A or B syrup from a small farmer in Vermont truly makes pancakes delicious. Oh and never eat Aunt Jemima's, it's not the real deal and is nothing more than an insul to real maple syrup.

Affirmative action initiatives state that 1 out of every 6 pancakes you eat must be covered in Aunt Jemima.

The same goes for waffles as well, however. In 10 out of 10 times, I enjoy waffles with syrup more than pancakes with the same syrup. 10 out of 10 times, waffles with whipped cream and/or fruit toppings are always tastier than pancakes with the same whipped cream and/or fruit toppings. And so on and so forth.

For me, it doesn't matter *what* you put on pancakes -- whatever the topping is, it'll still taste better on waffles. :yes:

Why does thou tempt me so?

Because we are all evil.
Pancakes, pancakes

Pancakes are good, but waffles with chocolate...*drools*

waffles with peanut butter and syrup. it may sound nasty, but its like Sushi, you never know until you try.

Don't worry. ~;) I suspect I'll die of starvation before heart attack considering my terrible eating habits, which is tied in with my terrible sleeping habits, living habits, and all the things that ended up with "-habits."

And the food I usually eat tend to not be so full of soul despite my desperate love for all things bacon. Asian food, you know. ~:)

Still, thanks for the concern!

On the contrary, pancakes, bacon and stroop are the most important contribution to civilisation to emerge from the Netherlands. Just delicious. I like to add apple too (preferably Granny Smith's). Mmmm.

What, no french toast?

Waffles. :2thumbsup:



Welcome back, Gawain! :balloon2:

I'm considering hopping over the border just to check out your supposedly wonderful pancakes. They'd better be worth it !

Heh. :laugh4: Yeah, I was a little disappointed they weren't an option as well, but then I would've had a much harder time choosing between them and waffles. ~D

And I second drone in welcoming you back, Gawain. ~:wave:

Pancakes for me.

Poffertjes, a.k.a. small pancakes. A.k.a. I love pancakes. :grin:

I voted for pancakes, but I speak of the large thin ones with sarasin flour we can find in France (Brittany is the most renowned place):

Salty? Mushrooms, cheese and bacon (but not loads of greasy stuff)
I had some very good ones with minced smoked salmon, some "hard" cream and spices

Sugar? Minced bananas, melted chocolate, minced almonds

Bon app&#233;tit!

:laugh4:

All there is to say really !

For now i will consider GAH a vote for french toast. In reality it still does not compare with sausage gravy on a plate full of shredded hash browns with a bit of well chopped onion.
My arteries weep at the thought.

Homemade, they are both good, but in a restaurant, pancakes are often too heavy. So, I voted for waffles.

My grandmother was from Germany. She made great German pancakes.
