Just started rewatching this show cuz me and my friend were talking about it. Theres an upscaled version this guy's hosting for free that's pretty good. Show holds up. Id post link but upscaled invader zim its like result 2 on Google or something.
Just like humans, waffles are social creatures. They simply rely on toppings to become a better version of themselves. They are accepting of all cultures, be it sugar, syrup, chocolate or even strawberry jam. This is because as Friedrich Nietzsche said: "There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths." One topping simply cannot be the true topping.
Once a topping is placed on the waffle, it becomes part of the waffle. Part of its taste, part of its existence. It completes it. Therefore to say that a waffle is bland because it has no topping is like saying that a human is incapable of anything because you once saw a lone human in nature get eaten by a wolf.
Waffles are a reflection of humanity and you are simply running away.
It depends on the quality of the food imo. Like, if I’m in a super fancy restaurant, you know the French toast is about to be totally bomb. If you’re at a shifty diner, pancakes are really hard to fuck up. This being said, I think waffles are very consistent across the board
French toast sticks - crispy ones from Shoney's - are the best thing. Otherwise, French toast is okay, Belgian waffles with savory toppings are good, and everything else is meh.
Edit: On the off chance you're referencing this, yeah we like waffles.
Tip for the people who don't like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a 'wafelhuis'. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m's or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don't like them, you are a lost cause.
Waffles: Not that hard to do right, you just need to separate the eggwhites and whisk them hard before reintegration.
Pancakes: The breakfast workhorse. Great with a fried egg on top. Make it with rendered bacon fat instead of oil and a yoghurt-water mix instead of buttermilk for a richer flavor.
French toast: I don't know who is out here teaching people this should be a sweet dish and garnishing it with sugar. When made savory, it's the best of the three and not at all difficult to make if you have a good egg whisk and the right kind of bread. But it should only have enough sugar in it to help the outside caramelize! One tablespoon per three eggs is enough. Make sure you salt the eggsop, too.
I like all of them, I only have them occasionally though. I can't say there is a better one but of the three I've had pancakes more than the other two.
They're pretty good, but the problem I always have with waffles is that the moisture on the underside of a waffle builds up/condenses onto the plate, which creates sogginess. I always prefer my waffles to be very crisp, so this sogginess undermines that and introduces that awkward "crunchy but also ew soft" factor that screws up later waffle sections. I can fix this a little by putting a paper towel under them on the plate, but this feels wasteful and sometimes draws confusion from friends or family who don't seem to care about this issue.
By this merit, I usually find pancakes preferable since they completely cover the plate under them, leaving no air for moisture to condense from, and they're porous enough to just absorb any such moisture without a meaningful change in consistency anyway.
Anybody else experience this? Got tips for waffle technique?
Otherwise pancakes are often kinda meh, and I apparently don't like maple syrup enough for it to redeem all pancakes.
French toast is tasty but I haven't perfected or found a great recipe. Waffles requires yet another kitchen appliance which just isn't happening right now. Which means it all depends on the restaurant.
Aren't buttermilk and kefir basically the same thing? Now I haven't had american buttermilk so I can't really give my opinion on the matter, but I've heard something or the other about them being the same thing.
They're pretty similar; kefir, buttermilk, and yogurt are all kinda the same thing. In the US what you get at the grocery store is probably going to be standardized around different textures and flavors though. And in the case of yogurt, 50 percent sugar and added random flavors.
I love french toast so much! When I make it at home… I whisk some eggs, milk and Cinnamon… splash the bread on both sides and let it sizzle… I also make a ton extra and freeze the left overs so when I don’t want to destroy my kitchen with mess and dishes.. I can just throw em from the freezer into my toaster and bam! Instant awesome breakkie!
When I make pancakes I use the Jiffy mix recipe for waffles cause I find their thicker and fluff up as opposed to being flat lifeless disks…
Pancakes are consistent. French toast is the least consistent. Waffles are the middle ground. At their peaks, the best French roast is better than the best waffles and those are better than the best pancakes, but at their worst it is flipped.
