I said no such thing. Waffles are sacred and not a joking matter.
Thank you. I really hate it when waffles are not treated with the reverence they deserve. You get it man, you just get it.
Pancakes are better.
Yeah, I went there.
Here in Minneapolis (and also in Duluth, MN on the Lake Superior shore) we have an extraordinary "alternative" restaurant named Hell's Kitchen, where they make both Pancakes and Waffles with a magnificent cornmeal base. Mmmm.
Blashphemer! Waffles for the win! See, they even start with W. W-affles, W-in. It is NOT a coincidence.
Fancy AND Smart.
Though I have no idea why you are a fearful leader
My subordinates can and are totally willing to turn on me at any moment. It's been well established in our lore of Team Fancy that, while still being the leader, and I am quite the coward.
"Alright, soldiers! Let's charge into battle! …But, you know, you guys go first."
Praise be to the Hindmost!
Wait, are there people who like pancakes more than waffles?!
I hesitate to ask this but do you like Waffles more than Pancakes?
Did we just become nemeses?
And so, the GTG fell into a heated flame war over waffles and pancakes. Millions died. Some lived, but they were scarred forever.
Never forget: 2/10/14
I consider them pretty much the same thing. One is easier to cook, the other looks fancy; neither of these is particularly relevant to how they taste.
I see pancakes (English), pancakes (American) and waffles (Belgian) as fairly different things.
And I recommend savoury waffles with cheese and chives in the batter.
I'm in Team Pancake
Whole Wheat Pancakes, cheddar cheese, sliced apple, maple syrup, Bacon.
Yum.
Most important meal of the day.
I butter my waffles then top with sugar and cinnamon.
What are English pancakes? I had honestly never imagined there was more than one way of making them.
And I recommend savoury waffles with cheese and chives in the batter.
Bleah! XP
Oh wow. I'd skip the cheddar personally, but otherwise, my mind is completely blown.
Personally (and royally), We Butter the Bread With Butter!
This is a split topic waiting to happen.
English pancakes tend to be flatter, wider and less fluffy than American pancakes (we don't put in anything that makes them rise, and the batter is thinner), kinda similar to crêpes. They're often served with lemon and sugar then rolled up and eaten. (Although I like to put Nutella on mine)
I think it's a miracle it lasted this long! This whole forum is just not foodproof. I vote we refer to the process, in which the mention of a food type results in the derailment of a topic and a consequent seperation from the original thread, as 'banana splitting' (a pretty effective way to end game related arguments and turn them into food arguments.).
I actually think that there is just too much of a quality curve in waffles and pancakes to claim one is better than the other. You might have a go-to preference for either, but I think even a hardcore pancakehead can be temporarily converted into a waffleist when he is confronted with the a high quality waffle and vice versa.
Also, life isn't short enough to justify ready mix. Just needed to be said.
