I’m going to be creating and posting these “pickone” images that ask you to choose between two (or more) choices. Hope you guys enjoy it :)
Depends on the quality. High quality French toast can be transcendent. A decent Belgian waffle is always good. Finally, pancakes are like pizza. It’s hard to entirely fuck them up, so even crappy pancakes are ok with enough butter and maple syrup.
While I agree with the statement, it’s funny how different I would paint it.

Imo, you can dip the cheapest wonder bread in beaten eggs, cook it, and cover it in butter and jam and it’s still pretty damn good. Even burnt they taste good with syrup
Really? I was about to comment that French toast is too dependent on the bread and I rarely have bread that works well.
- Challah bread makes outstanding French toast
- I also occasionally see cinnamon bread made for French toast that’s pretty good
- my whole wheat bread just isnt
Okay you got me there, whole wheat is definitely a poor choice for French toast. Sourdough is surprisingly good though. I guess my previous comment should’ve said that even the cheapest white bread is decent for french toast. Obviously good breads are on a different level, but that goes for any food
Huh, I’ll have to try French toast with sourdough. Admittedly haven’t tried, since whole wheat works so poorly
True, given a choice of the three, I’ll take French toast most any time. I like them all though, pancakes have to be good ones, crappy ones are inedible. Waffles are good but unless it’s something fresh or that I put effort into at home, they are essentially eggos.
Ironically, I have had some really bad French toast in my day. Like, so bad I hated anything with cinnamon on it for years. For decades, the smell of French toast made me want to vomit. I couldn’t even go to breakfast joints that served it.
Completely agree. French toast is so hit and miss I rarely order it. If I trust the place to do a good waffle that’s a nice choice but any roadside diner can make pancakes I can choke down.
You realize you can make your own right? Restaurants aren’t the only way to experience French toast.
I agree with you on good French toast.
The best French toast I’ve had was made of slices of stale, rock-hard French bread soaked to saturation in a cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom seasoned egg and milk solution, fried on a very hot griddle with a generous amount of butter, then served with maple syrup and orange marmalade. It was slightly crispy on the outside and warm and dense on the inside.
Exactly this. There’s also the hidden 4th option: Liège waffles. Better than all 3 combined when done right.
I believe I’m obligated to vote for pancakes
Pancakes are outstanding, always top of the list. Lately I’ve been adding chocolate chips, even better
French Toast. I don’t care about waffle syrup pockets or fluffy discs, I will die on this hill, French Toast.
It is true that if we fight to hold this hill we may die here. But if we succeed, le tricolore will wave proudly in the breeze long after we are gone, and that is enough.

How are you integrating the pancakes?
You could do waffle by cooking french toast in a waffle iron, but if you cook pancake batter in a waffle iron, you just have less crunchy waffles.
Maybe pancake batter cover an already cooked peace of french toast and then cook the whole thing in a waffle iron?
I hadn’t thought that far ahead, however, challenge accepted.
This was my WoW guild’s hype song back in classic and BC.
Waffles. Belgian waffles. Soft, crisp, chewy… Mmmmm
Best for maximizing surface area to volume ratio! The least flat choice!
Crepes (really thin pancakes) are omitted which feels like a crime even though I know it isn’t.
It’s its own subcategory, like waffles and Belgian waffles, or French toast and stuffed French toast.
They’re all in the same family, just different species.
Tell me more about breakfast food taxonomy
Crepes are basically French pancakes, the best way to improve pancakes. Belgian waffles are improved waffles. French toast is improved toast. Does speaking French automatically elevate breakfast or something?
Because all of the others are jealous. Crepes are the svelte supermodels of the bunch. They intimidate those other doughy monstrosities–their proportions shouldn’t even be possible.
French toast. I think the egg gives it a bit of a boost.
Honestly, I just looked up recipes for waffles and pancakes. The main difference I’m seeing is some waffles have vanilla extract… and that’s basically the main thing. I prefer waffles, largely because of the texture and the little syrup pods, but otherwise I can go with either one.
Put some vanilla and cinnamon in your French toast eggs. It will blow your balls off.
There was a recent change in the recipe in the mix I usually get. Previously the waffle had more oil and egg, but now they’re the same recipe
Yes, waffles and pancakes are the same batter, they’re just cooked differently. Box mixes like usually say pancakes and waffles.
French toast. Fight me. We’ll meet up at Waffle House as is proper.
They call it Waffle House for a reason. Just saying.
Because French Toast House doesn’t roll off the tongue.
Maison de pain perdu
Yeah, but it’s the place for scheduling reasons. If Waffle House is closed, we picked the wrong time.
French toast all day every day
Those seem like desserts. Carbs, sugar, and cream. Not an ounce of protein.
That’s why you get Kodiak Protein mix. 14 g of protein in just the mix, make it with milk and eggs instead of water and you’ve got even more. It’s my favorite waffle/pancake mix they are so filling
Who the fuck eats that much sugar for breakf…
Oh it’s them again 😂
If you think Americans are bad, check out Italy. Breakfast is small but it’s typically a bread product or sugar laden pastry served with espresso or caffelatte. I have celiac and can’t drink coffee without spazzing out for six hours, so I skip breakfast.
Really, all of the sweat breakfasts in America are European imports. And they’re usually just one part of the meal anyway, paired with eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon… Damn it I just ate
You do realize Americans aren’t out here having pancakes every single morning, right?
French Toast should be a savory dish. I wouldn’t eat any of these.
Is savory French toast a thing? I’m intrigued. What kind of flavors does it go with?
I’ve made it a few times! I’ll actually use a dried mushroom powder (porcini) and mix that up with the batter.
You sound like a blast to hang out with
I am; for example, I make kickass breakfasts.
I make kickass breakfasts.
I doubt that considering you think French toast is savory.
And won’t even tell us what you make it with
French toast is always the best option! This is making me want to make some French toast right now!
Depends where I am and how much I trust the cooks.
If I’m somewhere that I know is good, French toast. Good French toast is the best of all the options.
If I’m somewhere pretty mid, I’ll probably go for waffles. Can’t reach the same highs or the same lows as FT.
Pancakes are the safest bet. There’s less variation than FT or waffles, so even the worst pancakes aren’t that bad.
Oh man, the variance you can get on French toast. Sometimes it’s heavenly and sometimes it’s just so soggy and chewy and tastes like scrambled eggs.
Pancakes are the most consistent, as you said, but even the best pancakes can’t beat the average waffle imho.
I would much rather have terrible pancakes than under-soaked, under-cooked French toast with a bad mix and stale white bread.
None. All of those are way too sugary
French toast doesn’t need to be. I just use bread, egg, milk, and cinnamon.
Everyone talks about cold pizza, but cold French toast is pretty great too
Same thought here but I’m picking pancakes with soft yolk fried eggs and hot sauce on top instead of maple syrup.
Your life is sad.
I prefer not feeling like shit for the rest of the day after I eat.
Go see a doctor because sugar doesn’t do that.
wrong… it’s about feeling good after you eat…
You can make good French toast and just use chopped fruit on top
If pancakes make you feel bad you need to see a doctor. Get a blood test.
In these quantities depicted, or just in general? Because that’ll be a factor.
There’s a ton of each option. It’s all you can eat
Definitely going with the French Toast then!
Pancakes, all the time, every time.
If I ever abandon all hope, I plan to eat nothing but pancakes until I perish.
With the cheapass syrup, too – none of this frilly shit. Just good old American artificially flavored corn syrup over pancakes from a box.
For lunch today, I had leftover chocolate chip pancakes, heated them in the air fryer. And spread peanut butter on them to melt all over!
That sounds amazing! Chocolate and peanut butter (especially melty peanut butter) are so good.
