Pancakes or waffles?

[Edinburghemma]

Pancakes are great. American waffles seem to be cholesterol on a plate and very very sickly-can only ever eat half of one. UK waffles are minging! Long live the pancake with lemon and sugar.

THESE are hash browns:

And what's that square thing on your waffle Cho? It looks like some kind of margarine... Looking at it makes me feel rather ill.

[Edge]

This is a waffle:

Um... no. That's a griddle pancake.

Nothing remotely like an actual waffle - which is made from potatos, not pancake batter.

Waffles are much better than pancakes!

Careful, if we start a flame war about waffles some are going to be burned.

And I hate burned waffles!

hehehehe

Those look like potato wedges to me. A cousin to the hash brown.

The square thing is a pat of lovely butter.


Those eggs look faintly obscene to me.....

Can't really say why.

hehehehe

potato wedges are wedge shaped, and made from non-shredded potato:



By the way, whilst searching for a potato wedges picture I came across an amusing recipe: Wheat free potato wedges. Work that one out.

Bah, just accept that people have different names for things, people. Personally, I find it rather stuffy and arrogant to go around proclaiming Label A is the "one true", objective label, as if none of this stuff is subjective to where you're at/your location. Behold, Label A! Label B is not viable!

It's a relative thing. I mean, you may be right in Britain, but in America you'd be wrong--and vice versa. Here, in the South, the almighty hashbrowns can come in all sorts of fun shapes and sizes. At the Waffle House/diner around here, they look like what Cho showed; at McDonalds, hashbrowns come in the wedge shape. Can't we all just get along?

Anyway: I think I like pancakes more--unless my grandmother makes homemade waffles, that is. Then I'll eat about three or four. Heh. Good thing I’m a constant jogger. Ah, cheating death is fun.

WE're not fighting.

We're just teasing each other.

We're having fun.

It's zll good.

Have a pancake or something. hehehehehe

Sorry, been on the edge lately. Family trouble. I'm also a sociology buff (or like to think I am), so I get all objective about crap. Mmmm, syrup.

Blueberry pancakes are awesome, though. I do enjoy blueberry syrup, too. Do you see a pattern forming?!

[ChoChiyo]

((((Lord Foul))))

Quite alright. No offense taken.

*passes lovely blue berry pancake with blue berry syrup and a bowl of fresh blueberries to LF*

[Worm of Despite]

I...I... *passes out*

[Sunbaneglasses]

Just sit a plate of either in front of me and they are not long for this world.I would just be damn happy to have some pancakes or waffles.

[Reisheiruhime]

Here's an Idea... You know those boxed cake mixes? Instead of pancake batter, use cake batter on the waffle iron. Very, very, very good.

LF, I make a lovely blueberry & cream cheese cake. Cake stuff, blueberry pie filling, and a lot of cream cheese, mix, bake, eat.

Hmm... Wonder what would happen if one put instant mashed potatos on the waffle iron...? *feels supremely evil*
