Personally it's Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast, but I like all three. That being said, if I'm in the US, it's none of the above. Those barbarians don't serve these items with maple syrup which is abhorrent to me as a Canadian.
I don't think I've been to a breakfast place that doesnt serve maple syrup with any of these.
With that being said tho, I never order any of these while I'm out to eat either because all of it in the US is low quality garbage oversaturated with sugar.
I always thought I disliked waffles until I was drunkenly peer pressured into ordering one in Brussels. Ugh. So good!
Problem is it's flavoured corn syrup when it's anything...
At Denny's, sure. Probably at IHOP, but I don't know cause I haven't been in years. At any good mom and pop breakfast diner they do maple syrup. They tend to be a few bucks more a plate, but it's well worth it.
Vermont, NY, and Maine all produce maple syrup. Betcha we could make loads in Alaska.
Fair enough, those are the hotspots for maple forests!
Maple doesn't really grow in Alaska, let alone western Canada, so it's not made there. We westerners also need to import it from Quebec.
Belgian waffles are on a whole other level for sure.
Tbf, I'm sure actual real deal Canadian Maple Syrup is also on a whole other level.
I'm betting if I ever had it, I may stop getting silently disheartened when someone serves me pancakes instead of bacon and eggs 😂
You can get it at most decent stores. It's quite a bit more expensive than the fake stuff but tends to be a lot better consistency and taste much better.
Is it maple syrup or a colored and flavored corn syrup?
