RaoulDuke79 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Somehow I just got into an argument with my wife about this. What's your preference? I'm talking straight up French toast and pancakes. Not any of this cinnamon raisin stuffed with whatever you want option. It's either a pancake or a piece of French toast.

Gray Beard Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I generally order pancakes when I’m out because they are harder to make. If I’m at home and I want a big breakfast, it’s easy to make some French toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Waffles. Seriously though, this is always a big decision for me. Typically I make french toast at home, because it's just easier (for me) to make for one person, and I make killer french toast. So when I go out, I might be more inclined to order pancakes (at a place known to have great pancakes) or waffles, because I rarely eat waffles and they're pretty damn good. The real key is the syrup/topping. A nice mixture of butter, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, real maple syrup, some fruit (bananas/berries). Toss in some high proof rum/brandy/bourbon and flambe! Hey if I'm going to the trouble to make french toast or pancakes, I might as well go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Only time I have preferred pancakes even in restaurants was when it was special like chocolate chip pancakes or apple cinnamon pancakes so french toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 We have pancakes every weekend because the kids like them and they are so easy to make, my ten year old cooks now. But good French toast is hard to beat. Waffles are a close second. I just need a waffle maker that’s easier to clean. Most importantly, bacon with any of them.

I went on a spending spree at the local butcher yesterday and one of the things I picked up was some fresh cut hickory smoked bacon. They do all of the butchering on site mon-wed and are opened thur-sat. Freshest stuff I've ever had. I learned about the place about 6 months ago and its only 10 minutes from my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I love French Toast, and will order it from most restaurants. It's also easier to make at home than pancakes. Although I have a great pancake recipe, but it's more time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 How thick is the bread for the French toast? I prefer thick-sliced, like a baguette or Italian bread. If not, I reluctantly take pancakes. But there HAS to be bacon or sausage for either option. 20 hours ago, RaoulDuke79 said: I'll eat rare chicken if she's cooking it.

I was very surprised to find a locally made flax seed bread that was awesome when made as french toast---though completely unlike what one would expect from traditional bread. And, on a mostly unrelated note: What's the appeal of Texas toast? Not talking french toast here, but as served as the bread for an egg sandwich or with a meal? Seriously, WTF is this crap and why do I have to live with it in Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
