Pancakes or Waffles? - Page 2

**Wyborn** · 12-11-2007, 04:18 PM

Make my waffles crispy while you're at it.

Mmmm.

Mush Man · 12-11-2007, 06:20 PM

Pancakes. They're a man's breakfast. I think it's significant that the main group associated with pancakes is lumberjacks--pancakes are a manly meal, meant to brace you for a day of striding through the woods, sharpening knives while whistling, kicking trees over, flinging delighted children high up in the air and catching them, sounding your mighty yawp over hill and dale, wrestling bears, throwing tomahawks at Hitler, and laughing gustily with your hands on your hips. You know, manly stuff.

Waffles, now, they're another matter. Their square uniformity is an affront to the freeness of human nature. Where pancakes come in all shapes and sizes, defiantly refusing to subject themselves to a merely human standard of beauty, waffles are created to wallow in forced mediocrity, something that subconsciously offends the free spirit of the American who finds himself eating them. Indeed, their very name is a synonym for the intentionally wishy-washy half-truths spewing from the mouth of the career politician, statements whose belligerernt vagueness confounds and perplexes the honest, straightforward nature of the pancake-loving man. The only group I've ever heard associated with waffles is the Belgians, about whom I don't know much, save that they produced Jean-Claude Van Damme, who fled from Belgium to America (aka Pancake Central) a good thirty years before he even learned how to speak English. That should tell you something right there.

I prefer French Toast.

***CaptHayfever*** · 12-12-2007, 12:54 AM

^^What about round waffles?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Booyakasha** · 12-12-2007, 01:23 AM

^What about them? The strength of pancakes isn't in that they are round, but rather in that they are unique. Waffles are molded, stamped with uniformity, baked into homogeneity in the cruel totalitarian heart of the waffle iron. Pancakes are not. Slight differences in the environment and cooking method create the dazzling array of diversity and individuality to be seen in a plate of pancakes, a pattern of variegation matched in nature only by the crystal structure of snowflakes (and it must be said, here, that snowflakes aren't anywhere near as delicious as pancakes).

**Wyborn** · 12-12-2007, 01:36 AM

The primary problem with the pro-pancake propaganda perpetrated here is that it is all too easy to see the pancake for what it is: a limp, soggy mess of a construct that relies too much on outdated idioms and being served alongside meatier fair such as omelettes and other assorted dishes. The pancake lacks the fine palatable finesse of the waffle, which is an engineering marvel as much as it is a taste sensation: behold how the crispy outer layer may hold syrup in place or, with a small change to the batter, may absorb it like a flavor sponge that still retains rigidity where the pancake becomes a barely-cohesive mess.

Let there never be doubt about the power of the waffle, the complexity of which is more than skin-deep, when it comes to improving a breakfast. Neither pancake nor French oast stand alone so well - any man would proudly subsist on waffles and syrup and orange juice until the end of his long days, but the pancake is a mere supplement.

I see through you, Boo. I see through you and your pancakeism.

**Booyakasha** · 12-12-2007, 02:21 AM

^Bah. I've seen your kind before. Concealing the sinister nature of your so-called waffleism behind a veneer of sophistication. Revelling in the 'architectural wonder' of your breakfast dish, while innocent batter is consumed, tortured, and rendered into sheer conformist complacency by the infernal hate machines you call 'waffle irons'. Calling pancakeism a parasite on the breakfast plates of the American worker, when pancakes are in fact the great equalizer between all men, inspiring them to greater industry and enterprise by their simple virtue and pure deliciousness. It's one thing for you to savour such diseased conceptions in the privacy of the opium den/brothel you call home, but must you try to taint the pure, febrile minds of our young forumers with your wicked expostulations? Have you no decency at all?

The times are fast approaching when your lies shall fall softly dead upon the syrup-stained battlefields of our land, when the myth of waffleist superiority will be exploded and Eggo, the empire of evil, consigned for all time to the ash-heap of history. Build your waffles high and mighty though you may, they must inevitably fall, Wyborn. For though they withstand butter and even syrup, they can not withstand freedom.

**Wyborn** · 12-12-2007, 02:48 AM

I do not have time now to rebut your slanderous filth, your ill-grilled propaganda. Perhaps later....but why bother, even then? I know you and your ilk will never back down.

There is only one possible solution.

Spoiler Below

I made it all by myself.

**Booyakasha** · 12-12-2007, 04:29 AM

Well, this is a foregone conclusion. The waffle's going to get battered beyond recognition.

DarkZero · 12-12-2007, 06:22 AM

French toast. I would've put waffles too, but it's not multiple choice.

Crazybirdanimations · 12-13-2007, 09:32 PM

Well, of course I'm going to choose French toast!

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-10-2008, 10:29 AM

New York-style French Toast is the best. It's made with nice, thick Challah rather than boring old white bread.

**March of the Covenant** · 01-19-2008, 04:37 PM

French Toast made with thick Texas Toast is win.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-19-2008, 06:50 PM

Challah >>>>>>> Texas Toast. -CSM

**March of the Covenant** · 01-19-2008, 07:37 PM

What is Challah? The stuff ou posted above, because that looks good.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-19-2008, 07:41 PM

^Exactly. Challah is thick bread used by us Jews on Shabbat. It's very enriched and specially braided. It has eggs instead of yeast, and has some sweetener (usually sugar or honey) added. It's very soft and slices are usually almost an inch thick.

This is what a whole Challah looks like:

The battle lines have been drawn, people. It's time to either join my NATO-like Pancake Coalition, or fall into line with Wyborn's sinister Waffle Iron Curtain. No neutral middle ground here--nobody likes Switzerland (not even the Swiss themselves), and that's what you french toast cats are.

**Wyborn** · 01-21-2008, 11:18 PM

I will see you fall in the temple of your soppy devil confection, Boo. So help me.
