I voted for waffles, but the correct answer is bacon. All three of those options are really just garnish for bacon.

I eat all three happily, and of those three, it’s most often pancakes, followed by waffles then FT. But that’s nothing to do with popularity.

For the record, I don’t consider them true substitutes for each other, either.

Pancakes are the easiest to find in restaurants and make at home. I believe they’re available in a wider variety of flavors. It’s even moreso if you include the thin flatbreads from other cultures that are often called pancakes, like the ones served with mu shu pork. So I eat them more often than the other 2 combined.

Waffles, OTOH, hold toppings- especially butter-better than either of the others, thanks to those nifty little pockets.

FT is usually more subtle & refined in my experience, and is one of the options I look for if I’m having breakfast in an upscale facility.

There is only one correct answer.

Yes. Lemon curry is the correct answer.

All are awesome but Frech Toast rocks.

Lemon curry is pretty good too....

I am so happy that it is a three way split so far. I feel like we have achieved some perfect ideal of nitpick forum discussion poll.

Come on, waffles have pockets. And everyone knows that women want pockets.
