Pancakes are deliciousFollow

I find that they require a unifying element to bring them together. Smoked almonds, for instance, bridge the bacon-chocolate gap nicely.

you crazy west coasters. Bacon goes perfect with pancakes. Whenever I got out for breakfast its 3 eggs 2 cakes 2 mini sausages and 2 strips of bacon, all for 8.99. Also included 1 glass of OJ.

If I am home making breakfast it is 1LB of bacon.

If you consider that he's referring to going out to eat, many places serve their pancakes on completely separate plates from everything else. That being the case, getting syrup on your bacon(as per your earlier issue with pairing the two in the first place) would be much less of a surety.

Almost everywhere I go that serves pancakes(aside from fast food) gives them a separate plate. Probably one of those cultural things where people who live where you don't are weird.

That's like using Wal-Mart clothing as the standard for fashion.

do you like maple bacon?

I had pancakes with bacon for breakfast yesterday.

I love sourdough pancakes - do any of you have a sourdough culture and use it to make pancakes? It is divine. I haven't had a non-sourdough pancake ever since I started making them with the live culture.

its the same ******* thing.

No it's not. That's like saying mlk and cheese are the same thing.

Not really. No one's talking about the quality of the pancakes, merely the way they are arranged on plates. Sure, Walmart may not have the pinnacle of fashion, but to say that their clothing gets hung on racks as an example of how retailers display clothing within a large section of the market is a valid point.

You know, I've never once noticed that at a Walmart ever, unless you're talking underwear, socks and t-shirts. And if so, they're undergarments. Meh.

How am I defending IHOP? I never said their food was great. I'm saying that the ******* sell a ******** of pancakes, so they're a sizable enough portion to say that a good percentage of pancakes sold in restaurants come on separate plates from the eggs and meats.

Mostly I'm just arguing to kill time before the work day ends and I can go home. Lobby is freaking empty right now.


*700 million pancakes a year, if a quick Google search can be believed.

If the whole argument was that the majority of fast food hamburgers sold taste like ****, then it's not irrelevant at all.

And since the IHOP comment:

Was made in response to a small discussion following:
It follows that IHOP's pancake sales volume is kinda relevant to that argument. Sure, said argument is tangential at best, but in the context of that argument, that point is kinda valid.
