I hate pancakes

I dislike almost any "breakfast foods". I'd rather skip the meal and just wait until lunch for something nice

I love them and French toast, waffles not so much. But only as a treat, once a week.

I hate french toast, being coated in egg just makes the whole thing too rich and disgusting. But waffles are heavenly

You say that as if we ought to give a fuck.

I'd hardly call them "American." Waffles & pancakes originated and were served in Europe long before this continent was settled by Europeans. ("wafle" dates from about the 12th century. According to Wiki: "Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes are probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies."

I'll have mine with blueberries & maple syrup, please.

[quote]" Waffles & pancakes originated and were served in Europe long before this continent was settled by Europeans.

American pancakes are different from the thin European ones (crepes)...also, only in America have they been used as breakfast foods.

The American pancake is quite different from those in France, Germany or anywhere else. It is in fact American though the idea came from elsewhere.

I am quite fine with a nice eggy ham and cheese crepe upon occasion in Paris.

You're an idiot, OP.

Pancakes are amazing.

I had pumpkin-cinnamon-roll pancakes for dinner last night.

I love gingerbread pancakes with cherries in them.

Lemonade Pancakes with Raspberries are great too.

Pancakes make life worth living.

[quote]I dislike almost any "breakfast foods". I'd rather skip the meal and just wait until lunch for something nice

I cannot relate. I eat breakfast for lunch and dinner whenever I can. Breakfast foods are about ten times better than any other foods out there.

If McDonald's served breakfast all day, I'd be 300Lbs.

The 4th of March is Pancake Tuesday! Don't forget!

I love Belgian waffles, but I feel disgusting after eating sugar in the morning. I can't even eat cereal anymore in the morning. I just feel better with protein.

I'm starting to feel the same way, OP. They're just too sugary and insubstantial. I still like sweet things for breakfast but more like a corn muffin or raisin toast.

I eat waffles outside in the winter with cold greasy KFC boneless processed chicken food!

This gives me great comfort because I am a daft boneheaded Yankee!

Careful R12 corn is largely GMO and can be dangerous to ingest.

That was a parody, right, R8?

Oh, come on. French toast and pancakes and waffles are great comfort food. It's not a good idea to eat them every day, but once in a while is fine.

What does the OP like for breakfast I wonder? He sounds like an annoying food snob.

Pancakes, donuts, waffles and other breakfast breads don't agree with my system. I'm usually running to a toliet within a few minutes of eating them.

More impotent USA bashing.

Another day, another dollar.

*yawn*

A crisp waffle with raisins and coconut in the batter, or banana/walnut pancakes are heaven, no matter what day of the week or time of year.

The only American item in OP's sugary, doughy breakfast is the maple syrup. Surely, OP is not complaining about maple syrup?

[quote]Sugary Dough based American breakfasts are gross.

Oui!

"In the late 14th century the first known waffle recipe was penned in an anonymous manuscript, Le Ménagier de Paris, written by a husband as a set of instructions to his young wife"

[quote] Sugary Dough based American breakfasts are gross.

I don't know anyone that eats waffles, pancakes or french toast for breakfast, unless they go out to a restaurant or on a holiday. I don't like eggs, so I have a ham or a turkey sandwich for breakfast

I love all of them, but rarely eat any of them.

No, R15... why would you think so?

And Pancakes are HARDLY insubstantial. Maybe if you only eat that IHOP crap...

r22 - Let me introduce myself then. I usually make either pancakes, Belgian waffles or French toast once a week (on Sat or Sun).

[quote]I don't know anyone that eats waffles, pancakes or french toast for breakfast, unless they go out to a restaurant or on a holiday.

You don't know many people then.

Also... scrambled eggs, omlettes, breakfast burritos/tacos, migas ... these are all amazingly great things.

Nonsense R20. I've made American pancakes for friends here in Europe. They're distinctly American (thick buttermilk pancakes with butter and maple syrup).

I'm assuming OP must really hate funnel cake.

I agree with you OP, the idea of eating a bunch of sugary carbs for breakfast seems gross to me.

Pancakes/french toast/waffles are a dessert,which is fine, but I can't treat them as a real meal because they are not.

OP, if you make your own you can control how bad they are. I use milled flaxseed and 2 egg whites in my pancakes along with Bisquick, one extra yolk, a no cholesterol vegetable oil, and vanilla. Buttermilk, too. They're great.

Some guys here are trying hard to miss OP's point.

No matter where your breakfast habits came from, they still are pretty unhealthy.

Agreed... my fave breakfast is 2 scrambled eggs with good quality salsa on top. And some fruit on the side. Starts my day off right. And yeah I'm thin. I agree, American food is too sugary and too bready/doughy.

[quote]Some guys here are trying hard to miss OP's point

The OP had nothing to do with health. Saying that something is "gross" has nothing to do with whether or not it's healthy.

I only order waffles out, on rare occasions, because I don't have a waffle maker. Pancakes and French toast are definitely something I make at home on weekends, particularly in the winter.

I actually found a very good whole wheat baking mix that makes great pancakes (and muffins, banana bread, etc.). It's called Hodgson Mills, it's in a yellow box in the organic section of the supermarket.

Try these, OP.

Pancakes, waffles and FRENCH toast (for goodness' sake!!) are not uniquely American.

Typical dumb queeny attempt at easy snobbery. ZZZZzzzzz.

Don't like sweet heavy breakfast foods? Good for you! But don't try to turn it into a medal to adorn your snittily snobby personality with. Sooooo tired.

OP, although I share your dislike for those foods, I suspect that you overestimate our interest in your preferences.

This is HERESY! Pancakes Barbara is the Official Breakfast Dish of DL!

You think they just have Bananas Foster sauce lying around the kitchen but they don't put it on the menu?

I don't know that I could trust anyone who hated pancakes.

Or eggs for that matter.

Or breakfast foods in general.

Regarding health... when I note that I've packed on a few pounds (as I tend to do around the holidays), I just go on what I call my "pancake diet"...

I replace three meals a week with pancakes. BIG pancakes.

I drop weight like a stone.

So fuck y'all.

And those pancakes still haven't been digested.

Where else but DL would you find highly argumentative threads about pancakes, sex in the Middle East, thug porn, and The Velvet Underground on page 1?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I wonder why those sugary treats are called a Danish. When I visited Denmark they had no such pastry for breakfast.

You type fat OP.

R30 if you truly cared about what you put in your body you would not consume Bisquik. That stuff is garbage, read the ingredients and weep.

Pancakes are high in carbs, that's how I got so fat.

Stealth Food Troll thread

If you don't like them, don't eat them.

Nothing is more truly disgusting to me than the breakfast in the British Isles: beans on toast, marmite, back bacon, hardboiled eggs... NASTY.

btw, very few Americans (except farmers or day laborers, who need lots of calories early in the day) have waffles or pancakes every morning--it's mostly a once-in-a-great-while thing for something like a nice Sunday brunch.

Does any body have a tried and true recipe for Swedish pancakes?

I love pancakes and waffles.

I wish I could eat breakfast three times a day.

I'm not a big fan of regular pancakes, so I usually thin the batter down (like a crepe) and have them with fruit and whipped butter. I love lingonberries with them.

I also like waffles, but not a big fan of Belgian-style. French toast is a good treat once in awhile.

You lost me on this one. I love hot pancakes drenched in butter and maple syrup. Ummmm, my mouth is watering right now ....

[quote]btw, very few Americans (except farmers or day laborers, who need lots of calories early in the day) have waffles or pancakes every morning-

Not really true. Many kids (and some adults) eat frozen waffles (from the toaster) quite often.

I invented the waffle.

Norwegian waffles are the best!

[quote] If McDonald's served breakfast all day, I'd be 300Lbs

Breakfast is wonderful, but what McDonald's serves doesn't even qualify as food.

I love McDonalds pancakes and sausage and Egg McMuffin.

It seems some chains are moving in that direction. Jack-in-the-Box already serves breakfast all day, and I believe Farmer Boys (California chain) also does.

R60, you're just wrong. McDonald's breakfasts are delicious.

It's their lunch and dinner stuff that is crap.

...and muffins and doughnuts. I need to add both of those to the list...vile foods.

I have rarely had waffles- just the gross frozen kind my mother fed me as a child.

I used to love to make french toast for breakfast- I would use a healthy bread like trader Joes Sprouted grain bread but I still used too much butter.

I never made pancakes because they were messy to make and all that cooking oil...yechhh!

Enter the Orgreenic Flip Jack(TM)pancake pan-no need to cook in messy oil- you just fill it and cook over your stove top- flipping the pan once. I now make all types of delicious pancakes (savory or sweet);I make them heathy and full of fiber. YUM!

Denny's

Lumberjack Slam®

Two buttermilk pancakes, a slice of grilled ham, two bacon strips, two sausage links and two eggs, plus Hash Browns or grits and choice of bread.

LOTS of baby taste on this thread. Especially r9.

I love pancakes. I may have shared this on another thread, but look up the recipe for "Giant Sunday Pancakes" -- it comes up on a number of different websites and it's always the same. (NOTE: I reduce the amount of sugar I put in, and use only one whole egg; the rest is egg white, depending on how much pancake batter I'm making. I've also considered switching to coconut crystals as a sugar substitute for the recipe.)

I don't eat them all that often, maybe twice a month. Always at home. I don't "do" brunch. Brunch seems to be some douchey hangover-cure ritual for bros and their chicks, or some queeny ritual for their homo counterparts after a vapid night out in Hell's Kitchen.

Question for those of you who abhor the desserts-as-breakfast scene (because that's really all those muffins, croissants, doughnuts, and pancakes are): What do you eat? Bearing in mind that breakfast is supposed to be the largest and most important meal of the day, what do we do? I've struggled with this for years. Now that I'm finally working from home, I'm eating anything and everything for breakfast, except for the aforementioned pastries. Eggs, bacon, oatmeal, high-protein cereal, bananas... I can never seem to make it the meal it's supposed to be.

I never use sugar in my pancake batter. I use a mixture of gluten free flour, milled flaxseed, and a half cup or less, of the terrible, chemically corrupt, and dangerous Bisquick!!! To this I add a no cholesterol oil, low fat milk, vanilla, and one whole egg+ an egg white. My pancakes are delicious, and I usually add blueberries or pecans. I warm my maple syrup because that thins it, and I can use less, and unsalted butter, and that's it.

Personally, I don't much care for the concoctions that have whipping cream and warmed fruit compote, and powdered sugar or chocolate chips and all that crap. That ruins it IMO.

I don't go to fast food restaurants. Except once a year. My mother likes to go Christmas shopping very, very early in the morning to catch the "specials." So we are in the stores at 6 AM and out by 8:30 or so.

She always likes to stop at McDonalds for breakfast. We've been doing it for years. I tried their pancakes once years ago and just couldn't stand them. So,I get the biscuit with egg & bacon or sausage. It's wonderful.

They have a hot, fresh, fluffy biscuit that's very good. The only other fast food biscuit I like is the one from KFC, but I haven't had those in more than ten years.

I your honor, I'm having pancakes for supper.

Agree r63, McDonald's breakfast is the only thing they do that's edible. I have no shame in admitting I enjoy their egg mcmuffins.

And it seems you know what to eat r68. Eggs/oatmeal are my weekend breakfast and a high fiber/protein cereal is what I do do weekdays.

Something that is nutritrious and digest slowly rather spiking your blood sugar.

I wish this thread would die. So far I've been able to fend off the cravings but I'm beginning to falter.

I'm with you, r72. I'm going to eat pancakes with maple syrup till there aint none left.

R67 is not just a judgmental moron, he has no clue what 'baby tastes' are, how to use the phrase, or anything about the person he's using the phrase to describe.

What an asshole.

R69, your pancake recipe sounds disgusting.

Dutch Baby!

R76...I am drooling. What is the filling in those? I love european-style breakfast.

Keep it simple. three quarters of a cup of milk plus 2 tablespoons white vinegar, set aside. Melt two tablespoons butter, beat in one egg. Mix the two.

1 cup of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinammon

barely combine, cook on medium heat. Makes 12 small pancakes.

I think of these as delicious once-in-a-while foods and only eat those that I make from scratch or have at what I consider better restaurants. I think good quality maple syrup is food for the gods although I'm not a fan of whipped cream or chocolate chips in my breakfast fare. As has been mentioned, you can control the sugar and use whole grains. I'm guessing the OP's exposure to these foods is limited to Dennys.

I've never put sugar in pancake batter. There's no need if you're having a sweet topping. The simplest recipe I've seen in called One One One - one egg, one cup of milk, and one cup of self-raising flour.

I love pancakes and waffles but I don't eat any toppings on them. Just some melted butter. Yuck, nothing sugary.

What r41 said. I did this in January and I inexplicably lost 10 pounds. I really dont get it but I like it!

[quote] I hate pancakes

I hate *you*, OP.

Having said that, I had a very nice breakfast at Tim Hortons today. Just a Canadian maple doughnut and a small coffee with milk. Sugar and coffee can be life enhancing when taken in moderation.

R82, I can't explain it either, but I lost about 10 pounds doing that! In Just two weeks!

Pancakes: The miracle food!

R85, 41, what recipe do you use for pancakes? Do you put butter on them or use syrup?

My cousin gets up early sometimes to make pancakes for her kids. They put loads of syrup, chocolate chips or nutella on them. I asked my cousin why she didn't just make a cake and serve them a piece of that for breakfast? It's essentially the same thing as pancakes with all that shit her kids pour all over them. Actually cake is probably less calories

The same thing with muffins. Why have that when you can have a much more enjoyable cupcake?

R86, I actually go to one of two home-stlye (locally grown, organic, blah blah hippy crunchy granola) restaurants that serve breakfast 24 hours a day, and which have HUGE pancakes (two pancakes is an entire meal and then some... the size of the plate, and half an inch thick). They have great flavors.

I don't generally use butter or syrup... the flavors are really good as-is (lemon raspberry, cinnamon roll, gingerbread-cherry, pumpkin, vanilla, etc). They're moist enough they really don't need it.

I can't imagine how they're healthy or how I can possibly lose weight eating the damn things, but I do.

Of course, I generally don't eat three meals a day when I eat those things either... they satisfy for a long time. Maybe that's it. After a late lunch of those, I don't need to eat again.

Did the OP get molested by Aunt Jemima when he was child?

Just stepped on the scale this morning... looks like I need to go on the 'pancake diet'...

R78 says keep it simple then uses two raising agents. For pancakes?

Even more simple:

1 cup buttermilk 1 egg, room temperature 3 Tbsp butter, melted

1/2 cup plain flour 1/4 cup semolina 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Combine the wet and dry ingredients separately then combine together just until mixed.

r91 I seem to notice TWO raising agents in your recipe as well. That egg isn't there just for its binding power you know?

[quote]I seem to notice TWO raising agents in your recipe as well. That egg isn't there just for its binding power you know?

Eggs don't work as raising agents unless you whip them - especially the whites.

Hating pancakes is a deal breaker for me.

Right there with you R94.

dough-based

r93 Gee, that isn't what three state agricultural extension agency websites told me. But whatever.

You can always tell American recipes because they add unnecessary sugar and oil. American bakers - even the best - are big on adding large amounts of sugar. I would never bake anything that required 300g of sugar - they don't even use a mix of various brown and white sugars just straight up 300g of granulated sugar in a bowl. Disgusting.

I have been trying so hard to cut way back on sugar, and it is very frustrating when I look at the contents, and the nutritional information on everything, you'd be surprised at the foods that contain way too much sugar in it's various forms, under whatever name they're calling it. When I make Pancakes, I never add sugar.

Pancakes without added sugar are disgusting. Why would you even [italic]bother[/italic]??

I'm with the OP, especially on pancakes. I'd rather good toast.

No you understand why obesity is so out of hand R99. The amount of sugar most Americans eat is disgusting.

After a while of avoiding it you will break your sugar addiction (and yes, it truly is an addiction like any other addiction). It will be a very empowering feeling I assure you.

[quote]I'd rather good toast.

Oh dear...

Life without sweet things isn't worth living. Why eliminate sugar from your life? I'd rather kill myself. Your definition of "liberating" is my definition of hell.

And food Nazis are the worst. Ugh. ODC obsession about every little thing that goes in their mouths.

Fucking learn to relax and ENJOY life and ENJOY food.

That should be "CDO" ... with the letters in alphabetical order like they should be.

I do love food R104. Quite a lot. That is one of the things changing the horrendous diet I had growing up has taught me.

Once you grow past unnaturally sweet crap being shoveled down your throat you actually appreciate natures *real* flavors. There are so many delicious fruits out there that can give you a heavenly tasting sweet when they are in season.

You know, real food, real flavors. We were never ever meant to eat such concentrated pure sugar products.

The arrogance of you assuming I don't eat real food or appreciate REAL flavors is part of what makes you food Nazis so damn tedious.

When you die and go to hell, R106 R102, you judgmental little Tootsie Roll, I hope there's nothing there for you to eat but donuts. Or cake. Or low-quality chocolate.

Note I didn't say pie. No fruit for you, you smug little profiterole.

Sugar is more addictive then heroin. I can't give it up and it's a slow death.

So much anger and bitterness R108...

You've earned it, R110.

I never tried those American thick pancakes before today. After reading this thread I wanted to see what they're like, so I made them today and I can say I love them. Thanks everyone!

I don't dislike pancakes or waffles (actually I really like regular-not Belgian-waffles) but they seem like they sit in my stomach for hours.

BTW, I'm willing to bet the most frequently misspelled/misused word on menus is Belgian (when describing waffles). It seems like 75% of the time, they're listed as BELGIUM waffles.

I like breakfast food (eggs, potatoes, bacon, toast), but pancakes are cake, and cake is not food. I'm with OP.

Pancakes, waffles, cake, cupcakes, pastries, muffins, doughnuts... all that nasty shit is for kids and ants. Sugary, fluffy, inedible garbage.

This afternoon I'm going to have some Elvis pancakes & breakfast tacos...

"Elvis Pancakes" are banana and bacon pancakes, topped with peanut-butter cream instead of syrup. They're awesome.

And yes, that's real crumbled crispy bacon in the batter.

R114 probably thinks cake is something that comes in a box.

OP, go drown in a vat of oatmeal.

R114 is truly a moron.

I would never eat oatmeal...yuch, another starchy gross breakfast.

OP = uptight prissy priss, and in sufferable to be around.

op and his kind are likely fussy eaters. everyone I've ever known that doesn't eat pancakes were very picky about other foods as well.

"insufferable" that is.

I hate Mondays.

Diabetic thread

R118, only morons don't eat sugary fluff? So what DO morons eat?

I love breakfasts of all types. Love to go out for breakfast. I don't have the sugary stuff too often, but it's a treat when I do.

Donuts maybe once a year, then I could scarf a dozen.

Actually not a fussy eater at all.

I will eat insects when traveling and all manner of offal and vegetables. I don't like a doughy or sweet breakfast but as for the rest of the food world...bring on the lamb heart, lightly seared.

[quote]I will eat insects when traveling and all manner of offal

You're not allowed to lecture others on taste.

You have terrible taste. Just terrible.

"Elvis" pancakes (bacon & banana pancakes topped with peanut-butter cream), with two bacon+egg+cheese breakfast tacos:

I enjoy sweet breakfast foods, why do you queens have such attitudes? Maybe first thing in the morn is not the time to enjoy the feast, breakfast for dinner can be such a treat!

I hate this damned thread and I wish it would disappear. I made pancakes this weekend for the third time in a row because of this damned thread. I fucking LOVE pancakes, but I'm on a diet. Capish?

My Italian grandmother would serve eggs for dinner or lunch sometimes. My favorite was asparagus and potato omelet.

I have no problem with pancakes or waffles for breakfast. In our house that is a weekend breakfast, and rarely served even then. Gram never drowned them in syrup, either. Maybe a bit of sugar and cinnamon, or a little bit of jam.

What r131 said. I have been eating pancakes every other day in protest to the bitches on this thread

[quote]My Italian grandmother would serve eggs for dinner or lunch sometimes. My favorite was asparagus and potato omelet.

Would that be a frittata r132? I still make one for dinner now and then. My mother used to make my sister and I frittata sandwiches for lunch. I wanted peanut butter and jelly.

r134 Frittata are thick omelets, sometimes almost quiche-like. Cooked on top the stove, but sometimes finished in the oven. Usually chockful of all kinds of goodies, sometimes a "clean out the fridge" meal. Onions, peppers, potatoes, spinach,zucchini, asparagus,cauliflower, cheese, hell, I make leftover spaghetti frittata sometimes. Coupla' thick slices of Italian bread, toasted, to go with it, buonissimo. Mangia!

The worst thing you can do to an egg is cook it until it's browned. Browned eggs taste and smell like SHIT. So I hate frittatas. I've never had one that wasn't browned on top AND bottom. Bleh. What a way to ruin eggs.

Ditto omelets ... if there's any brown on them, they're inedible. I wont' order them at restaurants because they ALWAYS over-cooking them on too-high heat. Omelets should be light and YELLOW.

Pancakes are much harder to ruin, thankfully, and much safer to order.

I used to love donuts, pancakes, french toast, cake, pies and cupcakes as a child. As an adult, I still like pies and the occasional pancake or french toast, especially after surfing.

But it has to be these pancakes: Cici's Cafe Green Tea and Coconut pancakes- no maple syrup needed.

Rest assured that my grandmother could make an omelet or frittata and it came out perfect every time. Done, yet never, ever brown or overcooked inside. How this was done, I don't know. I don't think the heat was high. I will never equal her in the kitchen, never.

R136, the golden brown color of my mother's frittatas was wonderful and added to their flavor. Mama always put parsley, fresh basil, chunks of margarita pepperoni sausage, ricotta, and fontina cheese in hers along with a sprinkle of sharp Romano cheese.

I guess it's a matter of preference. I will also say that some restaurants have terrible pancake batter and the pancakes are tough and taste terrible. Others have delicious almost like homemade Pancakes and they taste wonderful.

r135 - did I say something that made you believe I didn't know what an frittata was? My parents were born in Italy and I learned how to cook from my mother.

I like mine with chunks of ham, asparagus, onions and parmesan, though ricotta and fontina sounds really good also, r139. Zucchini is good too.

Maybe I lucked out but I love eggs cooked every which way but have yet to see a "browned" egg served to me.

Frittata

R141, you've apparently never ordered a frittata or omelet in a restaurant before. Or had a restaurant over-cook scrambled eggs.

"browned" eggs happen all the time. And they completely ruin the dish.

[quote]"browned" eggs happen all the time. And they completely ruin the dish.

Not tortillas Española or frittate.

Yeah, the crusty brown part of the bottom of a frittata is part of what makes it so good!

R140, you have made me very hungry!

I'm going to go have Vegan Vanilla pancakes for a late lunch today. Just to annoy the OP.

Pancake Tuesday bump

Couldn't make it to have pancakes on National Pancake Day (today), but I think I'm going to go for some Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll pancakes tomorrow!

[quote]Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll pancakes

WTF?

Then for God's sake don't eat any, OP.

Is someone trying to force them down your throat?

R150, what part of that don't you understand?

[quote]what part of that don't you understand?

My imagination can't cope with it.

[quote]I'm going to go for some Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll pancakes tomorrow!

You mean there are places you can go, where they'll actually make them for you?

Um. Yeah.

And they're delicious. No syrup needed.

Hope this link works:

And here's a recipe for those that want to try them at home (I'm sure it's a lame knock-off, and they look a WHOLE lot better at the restaurant, but still, it'll give you some idea):

I love you say no syrup needed, when they are covered in freaking icing and have god knows how many tons of sugar in the dough.

[quote]Um. Yeah.

[quote]and they look a WHOLE lot better at the restaurant

Are you able to name the place or are you undercover?

R157, the name of the place is cited at the link if you bothered to click it... Kerbey Lane Café.

They also do amazing raspberry lemonade pancakes, banana-bacon pancakes with peanut-butter glaze, smores pancakes, and a dozen other varieties.

The regular cinnamon roll pancakes are my favorite though.

They also have vegan and gluten-free varieties.

Their simple vegan vanilla pancakes are very good, and I often get those even though I'm not even close to vegan.

Pancakes are right up there with Tiramisu, bleeeech!

Wet dough is gross.

[quote]the name of the place is cited at the link if you bothered to click it... Kerbey Lane Café.

No it's not, actually. Just the pic.

R160? WTF are you talking about? Tiramisu is delicious! So is Tres Leches Cake!

I pity you.

Tres Leches Cake is awful. Cold, sodden, rummy cake. One of the most disgusting textures I've ever experience.

Tres Leches is vomit on a plate.

Agreed, R164. But I love tiramisu.

R163 and R164 have never had good Tres Leches cake. When it's done well, it is beyond heavenly.

R166 your heaven is my vomit. Or my vomit is your version of heaven.

Have you any idea how many people have insisted I needed to try 'a good one' and then gave me yet another bit of soggy disgustingly sweet vomit?

[quote]A crisp waffle with raisins

Raisins in waffles? Disgusting.

You're lucky I can't dictate who gets the death penalty.

Raisins ruin everything

R166, when tres leches cake is "done well," is it cold and wet?

Um...I really love raisins.

R170, it's deliciously moist.

And raisins really do ruin waffles. Who the fuck puts raisins in waffles?? Or pancakes? ICK!

I hate any sort of fruit on or in waffles or pancakes.

I hate CEREAL!!!!

I love love love strawberries, ice cream, and powdered sugar (no syrup) on a Belgian waffle. I know it sounds gross (who puts ice cream on a waffle?) but I had it once at this little place in the Chicago suburbs and it was delicious.

I hate when I order scrambled eggs and get what is obviously a chopped up omelette.

I've been a vegetarian for the past 30 years, but I admit to being intrigued for some reason by the full English breakfast. (and I also don't care for sweet American breakfast foodstuffs)

If OP is British- you have some nerve talking about American food. I wouldn't give my dog the shit you have to eat over there.

How the hell can anyone hate blueberry pancakes?!?

They're mentally ill or pure evil, 179.

I like them too much for my own good.

[quote]who puts ice cream on a waffle?

Lots of people. It's not uncommon in Europe.

Just as people have ice cream with brownies and cake.

[quote]How the hell can anyone hate blueberry pancakes?!?

Gross.

r168 Oh yes, raisins in waffles are great, throw some unsweetened, grated coconut into the batter to make it even better. Don't forget the cinnamon.

Gather round, children, Granpa has another waffle tale to relate. In my youth(Bronze Age) there was a pushcart man who, in Summer, came around and sold snow cones(hand-shaved ice with a flavored syrup poured over it) Right after school opened(yes, we had schools back then) he'd show up and sell waffle and ice cream sandwiches. I can't recall how his waffle iron worked(perhaps it was gas-fired?) But he'd bake the waffle, unwrap a slab of van/choc/straw ice cream, place it between two quarters of a round waffle, and sprinkle powdered sugar on top. People would line up, not just us kids. It WAS a simpler time.

[quote]throw some unsweetened, grated coconut into the batter to make it even better.

Dear god, raisins are bad enough, and now you want to throw shredded coconut into the batter? UGH! What is [italic]WRONG[/italic] with you?!?

I hate fruit in pastry. Any kind of fruit in pastry including fruit jelly.

I like fruit.

I like pastry.

I like them separate.

Get away from me with apple turnovers and jelly donuts and raisin bread and tarts and pies.

R186, you should seek therapy for your obvious mental illness.

I agree r187. I know some of these weird eating habits some of you guys have are indicative of other underlying issues. I've learned from experience that eating habits tell you a lot about a guy!

The whole point of pastry is to contain fruit!

I wonder if R86 orders a cherry pie, with "The fruit on the side", like Sally in When Harry Met Sally.

I hear you R186! I like dessert and I like citrus fruit. I hate them together. I like chocolate and I like fruit. I hate them together.

Cool R182 and R184, I didn't know my favorite treat of ice cream and strawberries on a Belgian waffle was so popular.

R191, you should also seek help for your obvious mental illness.

I had lemon poppyseed pancakes on Saturday for brunch. Delish!

What kind of HEATHEN doesn't like pancakes?!?

R196 has never heard of gluten-free pancakes?

Hell, I've even had vegan pancakes.

Last Sunday, I had French toast made with apple cinnamon bread from When Pigs Fly bakery in Maine. I topped it with some Maple Dulce de Leche from Stonewall Kitchen. So yummy.

Lemon-poppyseed muffins are fine, but as pancakes I'm not so sure ...

R191 ... guess no Raisinets candy for you? No lemon sherbert/sorbet for dessert either?

R186 ... I have to be very careful about jelly doughnuts because I hate strawberry flavored anything; I'm not real keen on lemon filling in doughnuts either. I suppose your idea of a "pastry" is something like a plain ole croissant?

They're REALLY good. If you're ever in Austin, stop by Kerbey Lane and order some. They have them all summer long.

It's an old thread, so the photo likely underestimates the OP's appearance at this time, but it serves a useful purpose to show what such "haters" of sugary, doughy things usually look like.

It's all about how they protest and try not to be "bad."

typical homo listing everything he loathes but can't name one thing that he actually likes.

I like durian ... and brussel sprouts. Just not olives, cucumbers, green peppers, broccoli. cauliflower, beets ... and a few other things.

You probably hate children and puppies too, don't you, OP?
