Pancakes or Waffles?

[HD MM]

I voted both, but honestly...pancakes are easier to make, but waffles are lighter and a bit more 'fun'. You can put ice cream on a waffle...on a pancake its not quite the same...

Don't forget fried chicken with hot sauce!

Seriously, if you've never tried fried chicken with hot sauce on top of a waffle, smothered with maple syrup, you don't know what your missing! :

MMM! I make waffles and spread PB all over them. Sometimes I can't wait for the others to cook and have to do quality control on one. And I add syrup also. Pure maple is best, but a little pricey, so my fave is Log Cabin. I can eat waffles anytime of the day.

Glad to see someone has the same taste!! You would not believe some of the looks I get when I talk about PB/Syrup over pancakes/waffles????

Now I have seen the Chicken and Waffles, but syrup over the chicken?? Sounds like something I got to try

For me, it purely depends on whether the waitress is wearing a yellow hat or a blue apron.

Sadly, had to vote "Neither". Love both, but they're on the "foods to avoid" list for me now, especially with all the added sugar (great syrups) and saturated fat (lotsa butter!).

When I can make a whole grain batter I actually can stomach I might try both again...with sugarless syrup (yuck!) and "no butter butter" (double yuck!!)

But I do confess to a penchant for that "nasty" (riffjim4069) scrapple! I fry some of that up from time to time. Folks ask what's in scrapple and I say "Don't ask!". But it's pretty simple, really...pig parts (of unstated origin) and floor sweepings (i.e., sawdust). I haven't found what a "lethal" portion is yet, but I have been known to eat 1/2 lb at a time...!

Is that >> eek! << re: the scrapple? I have found it's really a love it or hate it vittle. When I take my scout troop out camping I always bring some along. About half love it, and the others either haven't tried it or decidedly hate it! The scouts love to prod the newest members that tasting it is part of their rite of passage! (An "initiation" act of sorts!) I have noticed that those that like it as I do tend to be a bit...well..."porky" in build...!

I just buy the store varieties, and Kuntzler's is my favorite. Kinda green/gray in color that turns brown when cooking. Served crisp and hot! Ummmm !!! (Some prefer it with maple syrup.) But none of those brands stack up to what my Grandmother used to serve, and the best is what the local PA Dutch folks produce when harvesting their pigs...!

I think the means why avoid pancakes and waffles when the scrapple appears to be 10 times more deadly. In any case, I good friend of mine tried it were passing through Central PA and lovs the stuff...and he is one pickey eater. Go figure! He will often pick up a several pounds when passing through PA, and he fries it up and eats it with syrup. I actually tried it a 2nd time (after much beer and prodding) and I found it to taste like a ground up shoe mixed with sawdust. It's hard to explain...just gotta try it.

I voted for both, but I love a stack of pancakes with a fried egg(Dippy egg) in the middle of the pancakes, with whipped butter a syrup.

When you cut into the pancake and the egg yoke, butter and syrup all mixed together, mmmmmmm:.

Pancake sandwich.... YES!!!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Kind of funny with the scrapple talk, we have family out east and when we go there and some of the family talk about it, it always follows with, dont ask about what makes it....LOL (though I stay away from it...lol)

Though back to the pancakes/waffles....both are great and have many good combos!!!

LOL !! From what I have learned recently it's the bad carbs (including beer) that are doing me in moreso than the meat products, which I also restrict. Surprisingly, for its lousy reputation the fat content of scrapple is not all that bad, not when compared with other breakfast meats. The possible hang-up is that I can't figure out which food group all the other crap falls into! I probably buy 5 lbs total a year, mostly for the aforementioned camping trips where the scouts pilfer the lion's share. I can explain the reason why what you had last tasted like sawdust - just look at the ingredients panel! Can't explain the shoe taste, but I will mention that many of the Amish I see around here are barefoot on their own turf...!

For the "unenlightened"...

I was wondering what Scrapple was ... one of those things like Hog head cheese...

Ya know, in the Grand Scheme of Things, I can't see where eating scrapple, or hog's head cheese for that matter (never had that) can't be all that different than eating the average hot dog! After all, it all ends up in the "crapper"...(love jwgreen68's current avatar!)...

 

[KE4EST]

Pancakes for sure!!

Crepes for the win.. nothing better than fresh crepes with cream cheese.. mmm..
