And while we’re at it, what’s your opinion of pancakes and French toast?

      This is the answer. They are simply delicious vehicles for butter and maple syrup (none of that fake shit either…).

        I’m with CGP Grey. He notes that it depends on the quality of the restaurant. French Toast has both higher highs and lower lows than the other two.

        • I had cinnamon hazelenut orange french toast in a Detroit restaurant that was expertly combined, hands down the best sweet french toast ive ever had, dont add syrup.

        Look, I don’t agree, but I can understand how you might put French toast first, but in what world are Pancakes better than waffles???

    To be honest not really. Just tastes kind of bland, which is why I think people need to douse them in syrup and other toppings.

    For breakfast I’m all about eggs and bagels

      Preposterous.

      Just like humans, waffles are social creatures. They simply rely on toppings to become a better version of themselves. They are accepting of all cultures, be it sugar, syrup, chocolate or even strawberry jam. This is because as Friedrich Nietzsche said: “There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.” One topping simply cannot be the true topping.

      Once a topping is placed on the waffle, it becomes part of the waffle. Part of its taste, part of its existence. It completes it. Therefore to say that a waffle is bland because it has no topping is like saying that a human is incapable of anything because you once saw a lone human in nature get eaten by a wolf.

      Waffles are a reflection of humanity and you are simply running away.

    It depends on the quality of the food imo. Like, if I’m in a super fancy restaurant, you know the French toast is about to be totally bomb. If you’re at a shifty diner, pancakes are really hard to fuck up. This being said, I think waffles are very consistent across the board

    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.

        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.

    Tip for the people who don’t like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a ‘wafelhuis’. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
    Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m’s or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
    If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don’t like them, you are a lost cause.
