And while we’re at it, what’s your opinion of pancakes and French toast?
Yes! I can’t wait to get a mouthful!
Back in the early days of WoW, my guild would play that song on Ventrilo during raids as either a celebration or as a hype up. Good times.
Only if they are blue
French toast sticks - crispy ones from Shoney’s - are the best thing. Otherwise, French toast is okay, Belgian waffles with savory toppings are good, and everything else is meh.
Edit: On the off chance you’re referencing this, yeah we like waffles.
When that song came out, I was in kindergarten.
Next year, I’ll be old enough to buy a beer.
I would go Pancake -> French Toast -> Waffles.
All are good but pancakes are the food of the gods.
What about crêpes vs pancakes? Crêpes imho but to each their own!
Oh yeah I would go crepes for sure! I’m from Europe so I was thinking more of the crepe-y kind of pancakes anyway.
I always used to assume crêpes when people said ‘pancake’ but I have since learned of the American pancake and how different it is.
Crêpes are the best. Love a savoury crêpe so much.
They’re pretty good, but the problem I always have with waffles is that the moisture on the underside of a waffle builds up/condenses onto the plate, which creates sogginess. I always prefer my waffles to be very crisp, so this sogginess undermines that and introduces that awkward “crunchy but also ew soft” factor that screws up later waffle sections. I can fix this a little by putting a paper towel under them on the plate, but this feels wasteful and sometimes draws confusion from friends or family who don’t seem to care about this issue.
By this merit, I usually find pancakes preferable since they completely cover the plate under them, leaving no air for moisture to condense from, and they’re porous enough to just absorb any such moisture without a meaningful change in consistency anyway.
Anybody else experience this? Got tips for waffle technique?
I like waffles and pancakes but I’m not a fan of french toast.
Waffles are superior to pancakes, french toast is in it’s own lane vibing.
Found Leslie Knope’s lemmy account.
Waffles are king, pancakes are solid, French toast is kinda tricksy.
One of these days I’mma buy a cast iron waffle maker cause all the electric ones I’ve tried ate shit after a few months of regular use.
Now pancakes are solid as they’re easy to make and it only takes a bit of practice to cook them right.
Pancake Pro-Tip: If you wanna make a home made hot pocket, make a pancake batter recipe with a bit less liquid and a bit more flour to thicken it up (if you’ve got the time, cool the mix down in a fridge for a while to help with thickening). Cook up the pocket’s guts and set to the side, pour some batter on the skillet and let it cook long enough to get some bubbles in the center (lets you know that the bottom should be cooked well enough), spoon some guts into the center, and then ladle on some more batter over the top to cover the guts. By then, the bottom should be well set and you can flip it over without too much trouble.
French Toast… gotta have the cheapest whitest bread around or really crusty french bread. The dense loaves of like, multi grain style bread, never seem to soak up the egg mixture enough to really be satisfying.
Yes.

Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast
I might, tennis too.
Love them, especially when they’re nice and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Lather it in butter and pour on the maple syrup. Can’t get enough.
Waffles > French Toast > > > Pancakes.
Pancakes just turn into a gelatinous mess after a minute and make you feel like shit for eating them. They’re a dessert, not a breakfast.
Pancakes are consistent. French toast is the least consistent. Waffles are the middle ground. At their peaks, the best French roast is better than the best waffles and those are better than the best pancakes, but at their worst it is flipped.
So somewhere new pancakes can be reliable.
Where’s the Harold & Kumar Wafflebot when you need’em?
Won’t eat 'em: way too carbie.
