    Because I think the Water Nation might be smoothies & such.

    While the Fire Nation might be pizza.
    Cold pizza for breakfast is a league of its own.

    Waffles
    Waffles over pancakes, sausage over bacon

    I’m weird in that I prefer strawberry syrup to maple, but I’m also weird in that either way, I am drizzling the syrup lightly over the waffle. Can’t stand the syrup-soaked soggy mess that everyone else insists on

    both have their times.

    (assuming US pancakes) crepes are the superior form, with pannenkoeken a close second (blueberry blintz = chefkiss.) but i also regularly snacked on frozen waffles as a kid, and a dry (crispy) waffle is better and more portable than a dry pancake, without falling prey to sogginess when topped with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. i am all about texture.

    i can't remember the last time i made pancakes or waffles at home (lacking a wafflemaker; hotel wafflemakers get used), but i did go through a phase of making crepes last year; super easy with a squeezebottle. and for awhile, i kept some GF waffles in the freezer for double toasting & pairing with peanut butter.

    they've done the science to answer this question (not really)

    so, again-- both!

    but pizza for breakfast is great, and smoothies are unsatisfying

    I don't know if 'American' pancakes actually originated in America, that's just what I've always known them as. English pancakes are more like a crêpe but obviously stodgier and less fancy because England.

    friend, you been doing smoothies wrong

    i say this as someone who has occasional texture issues, low appetite, and a sensitive gag reflex: Smoothies Are Good
    frozen banana, fresh or frozen spinach/kale**, nut butter, milk of some sort/yogurt is a simple, tasty kick of protein, carbs, fat, & fiber, add in strawberry and other fruits for better flavor, honey or dates if you like some sweetener. gotta balance the frozen ingredients with liquid so it's not chunky with ice or runny, so figure out a good ratio there, math confuses me. if you use greens, blend them first with a bit of liquid to really get them smooth.

    that's just baby's first healthy smoothie! it gets more.

    **(if you have thyroid issues, research! ..blanch then freeze should work if you need to reduce goitrogens -- not a nutritionist or endocrinologist, just made a lot of smoothies in my day, and it popped as a reason some might avoid raw cruciferous veg)

    ...i'll stop editing now...

    Waffles unless the pancakes have chocolate chips, which changes the equation dramatically

    Would you use fresh, frozen, or cooked kale, there

    A big bowl full of rum and milk with some syrup in there seems like something you'd find in a prison cell

    and fucking salad leaves in a smoothie is an unforgivable food crime. Whatever yogi came up with that better be in hell because they ruined this timeline.

    I like pancakes and I like waffles, I prefer french toast to both but I like all 3

    I'd pick sausage patties before bacon but bacon before sausage links

    I like hash browns (shredded fried potato) way more than home fries (potato chunks)

    real maple syrup

    orange juice

    those are all my breakfast opinions

    It's hard to spread butter on waffles; too often a chunk will get stuck in one of the holes.

    Waffles for LIFE, crap I made waffles two times in the last 4 days just so I could do Belgian vs. normal!
    Mapple Syurp becuase you asked but all syrups have a time and place.
    Bacon over Sausage patties both over links... links are weird to me. For some reason links remind of me hotdogs.

    Thats the point of the holes it holds the butter and the syurp so each bite is perfect.

    Crispy waffles are incredible

    Thin pancakes with crispy buttery edges are also incredible

    Not into fluffy pancakes. They absorb everything and get soggy.

    Exactly!

    So you have to add more butter to make it even!

    I like most sausages that are not made of exotic ingredients like squirrel, but the sage in American breakfast sausages makes them impalatable for me. A few bites in and my breakfast is stopped dead in its tracks. Then I’ll have chorizo for lunch and it’s fine.

    I always have a "syrup pool" for this exact reason. One part of the plate gets syrup, and then I dip the waffle or pancake into the pool.

    My wife is a celiac so I've been making gluten-free pancakes for years now. It's gotten to the point where I don't even like wheat pancakes anymore.

    Biggest bonus is that GF pancakes don't sponge up the syrup so you always have the right amount of syrup in every bite.

    Waffles because they are crunchy and have syrup traps. They are also good with peanut butter(crunchy) and jelly on top. Stating opinions before reading the rest of the thread because it's my right as an American.

    Pancakes are what I make at home because I don't want to go through effort for breakfast, but sometimes I French toast. I will never order a pancake or French toast at a restaurant though, gimme them waffles someone else had to make for me.

    I've never made what I'd consider high quality French toast.

    It usually ends up too soggy to fry properly. And then I have to eat it through shame tears

    French toast can be incredible, but so easily terrible.
