Pancakes. Blueberries don't fare well in a waffle iron.
I do think Crepes and Blintzes want in on this deathmatch, too.

Neither, because remember,"French toast won't turn you into a ghost!"(I'm trying to make a catchy saying for French toast lovers)Although out of the two I would choose Waffles for they, as you said, hold Maple syrup and Margarine/Butter far better than those silly pancakes.
That is actually the exact reason that trying to add things to waffle batter doesn't work. Unlike a pancake that's cooked quickly on each side, the extra surface area of a waffle makes it hard to maintain a smooth product with a chunky batter. It also complicated matters if the add-in can melt (like chocolate) because this will almost guarantee sticking. The only type of pre-cooking addition that will work with waffles is a liquid or semi-liquid addition like peanut butter (Peanut butter waffles topped with preserves are f-ing awesome BTW).Wereduck said:
Pancakes are far more conducive to pre-cooking additives while waffles offer more structural stability after cooking. In light of this, I'm just going to call it a tie...
Actually, make that a 3-way tie because crepes are also awesome.
(Normally I'd make a sarcastic comment about the absurdity of us breaking down breakfast items into a precision science, but as an engineering student and cooking enthusiast it's my duty to take this to the logical extreme. On an unrelated note, I've attempted to make bacon pancakes in the past. They worked illogically well.)
Thank you.Furbyz said:
It might just be the combination of engineering and cooking, but I have the insane tendency to combine food that were never meant to be combined (but they still come out delicious).
Now, anyone up for some lime-kiwi-vanilla ice cream?
(I'm not joking, I've made it, and it was awesome.)
You, sir, just won this thread.Choppaduel said:
Anyhow, I like both equally. It just depends on the mood I'm in, I guess. But I must say, this morning I had some pancakes made from repurposed crepe mix, and they were a whole new kind of delicious.
Well......can pancakes fly??????
But i do agree, while waffles are better at holding toppings, the pancake takes the cake(HAH!) for versatility and ease of production.

That's a good question. I loves me some IHOP, and all their options for stuff to put on a stack of pancakes. However, my mom makes some kick-ass Belgian waffles.
So, I'm going to Take A Third Option and say French toast. I've actually been eating more of that lately than waffles or pancakes.
French toast... surrendering to my hunger is what it does best.
