Pancakes!

[Lucem712]

you can't prove I'm not, don't try googling me, I'm an underground food critic, I'm like a ninja, a food ninja

Damn you, that made me laugh.

OT: My one true regret in life is never knowing the true joy of a pancake of the non-colonial variety. These rebel hotcakes will never do! Although, we have tortillas...So, I guess that makes it even. ( At least where I'm from in the states )


Are those even letters??

Who ever said these were pancakes?

Where I come from, these are call pikelets.

I too, think American/Canadian pancakes have a striking resembelence to pikelets.

They're like crumpets, but not nearly as good.

It is true. We americans do refer to our door stops and coasters as "pancakes" whereas your mouth-watering, but oddly phallus-shaped godsends of goodness are "crepes". And I shall continue to refer to them as such as to not confuse my simple american brain.

Rainbow pancakes are best pancakes, no matter what you say.

You know that 'great evil' I was on about?

Yeah, that abomination pretty much sums up what it is.

Phallus shaped?

I'd hate to think what kind of pancakes you've been eating to get that impression...

Syrup and treacle... just so much syrup and treacle... the sugar... THE SUGAR.

That's why we eat them only once a year.

Everyone would be diabetic otherwise.

The London marathon should be after pancake day, I feel like I could fucking sprint to Scotland right now. Goodbye any hope of sleeping tonight.

We beat the French enough times to earn the right to steal their food for our own.

That's what wars are about, you know. Not politics, but food ownership.

lol, ok, you win that one.

Listen here sunshine, we invented the chip, we can call it whatever we want.

lol. Well you invented it but we perfected them.

Yeah, not really...the shoestring ones really aren't as good.

Ok fine, you win again.

What...

You mean I just 'win'?

No, no, this never happens.

I'm watching you.

Real men eat waffles.

The only food so badass that the guy who invented them couldn't eat them.

*brofist*

Waffles > Pancakes.

Compartments that hold the syrup FTW!

You

Yes, you.

You always come to my threads and leave your negative comments and bring the whole atmosphere down.

You should got some pancake mix

You...you...but. Mix?!
Good god man! Buying mix is stereotypically what the Americans do because they can't cook!

Well looking at your pictures I could see that looking like a soft and uncircumcised body part. Hmm... I wonder if that's why brits enjoy eating them so much.

They don't usually look like that picture. Mine certainly don't. And I like to fold them up into parcels and eat them all in one go like the disgusting child that I am...

Spoiler: Oh, I know the UK has produced great things.

Waffles just isn't one of those things.

[sub][sub][sub]I've never particularly liked Pancakes when compared to the god tier breakfast warrior that is the waffle.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

I say 'mix' as short hand for eggs flour and milk.

If you can't stand the heat, get off the griddle, Daystar. We're throwing down right here, right now. Waffles vs. pancakes. Your uncouth syrup sponges versus our exquisite works of refined batter engineering. It's like eating the very concept of industrial irrigation.

All the aesthetic engineering in the world accounts for nothing if it still tastes inferior.

Now you're just grasping at straws. We have a delightful interplay between a crisp crust and pockets of sweet syrup. You have a sponge. Obviously your proletarian conceptions of high-maintenance batter-based breakfast foods are too unrefined to grasp the true magnitude of the brilliance of waffles.

Oh thank heavens. I almost popped my third monocle this week!

If I may throw my opinion at this waffles vs. pancakes kerfuffle:
I find that pancakes have a more familial feel, conjuring up memories of childhood pancake days and flipping catastrophes, while waffles simply taste rather nice.
[sub]...Also I don't remember Waffle Day being on any calender I've ever seen. In your faces. [/sub]

Spoiler: Sir, if I may interject.

Cranberry syrup, Saskatoon berries and waffle. King of breakfast, king of taste.

Your pancakes are invalid.

Another example of style over substance.

Yes, the waffle may be perfectly engineered, but it lacks the soul of the pancake.

Pancakes are the height of rustic perfection. The creation of waffles is an insult to everything the pancake stands for.

Simplicity and soul.

The vast majority of pancakes I've ever had (of both styles mind you) have tasted more leathery and less rich than the majesty of the waffle. Plus the syrup just rolls off onto the plate as opposed to staying in the nice compartments of the waffle for your delight. But to each their own.

I see your assertion of dominance and would like to propose a counter.

Yes Colonial pancakes are easier to make, however that does not make them inferior. In fact that very ease makes the true art of making them that much harder to master. It is so easy to get complacent since no matter what the pancake is going to taste good. However there are a few out there, myself included, who strive to keep our skills sharp, who make batter from scratch, experimenting with different amounts of ingredients, making sure every single one is fluffy and golden brown.

In my grand library of american breakfast cuisine I have pancakes with sausage and maple baked right in, I have pancakes that are thin and crispy, I have pancakes that taste like soft fluffy biscuits! Every kind either passed down from my grandmother or of my own design. I resent your statement that my pancakes are inferior and will raise my spatula proudly in defense of the Colonial pancake!
