Waffles vs. Pancakes vs. French toast: Which is best?

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.
 






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