same here. bread pudding...but i can't imagine a plate of pancakes prepared that way...

i'd just miss the butter and the syrup...

then I guess waffles and ice cream are out

This is what I was eating, except we have varieties over here.

Cinnamon / Maple and Brown Sugar / Chocolate / vanilla Crunch / some others

It's good stuff.

EDIT: Also, I could make this the breakfast thread,,,,just have to change the title...good idea, bad idea...or the only idea??   a bowl of cereal (usually weetabix, shreddies or corn flakes), 2 rounds of toast with marmalade and a mug of coffee...every morning (almost) without fail...   pancakes are something we tend to have on pancake day...in mid February.  Although most of us these days don't stick to this 'celebration' as much these days, I wouldn't say I eat a pancake more than once a year...   as far as maple syrup is concerned, I think I first heard of it in the late '80s/ early '90s when a food chain called 'Little Chef' opened up, and started doing breakfast pancakes with maple syrup..can't say I ever took to the concept, personally...

Coffee and toast are wonderful...and cereal.

But...a life without pancakes...

It's just no life at all...

Life is delicious, and if you don't believe me, these oughta convince you:







Squirrels love it, so should you!

Life cereal? Seriously? Isn't that for little kids?

But pancakes:

Interesting...never had maple syrup?

So what do you typically eat for breakfast? over here, pancakes are like a standard...and waffles and of course my personal favorite, cereal...
