I'm going to be creating and posting these "pickone" images that ask you to choose between two (or more) choices. Hope you guys enjoy it :)

While I agree with the statement, it’s funny how different I would paint it.

High quality pancakes can be transcendent. Decent French toast is always good. Finally waffles are like pizza (the right toppings can make up for anything). It’s hard to entirely fuck them up, so, even crappy waffles are ok with enough butter and maple syrup.

Imo, you can dip the cheapest wonder bread in beaten eggs, cook it, and cover it in butter and jam and it's still pretty damn good. Even burnt they taste good with syrup

True, given a choice of the three, I’ll take French toast most any time. I like them all though, pancakes have to be good ones, crappy ones are inedible. Waffles are good but unless it’s something fresh or that I put effort into at home, they are essentially eggos.

Really? I was about to comment that French toast is too dependent on the bread and I rarely have bread that works well.

  • Challah bread makes outstanding French toast
  • I also occasionally see cinnamon bread made for French toast that’s pretty good
  • my whole wheat bread just isnt

Okay you got me there, whole wheat is definitely a poor choice for French toast. Sourdough is surprisingly good though. I guess my previous comment should've said that even the cheapest white bread is decent for french toast. Obviously good breads are on a different level, but that goes for any food

Huh, I’ll have to try French toast with sourdough. Admittedly haven’t tried, since whole wheat works so poorly

Ironically, I have had some really bad French toast in my day. Like, so bad I hated anything with cinnamon on it for years. For decades, the smell of French toast made me want to vomit. I couldn't even go to breakfast joints that served it.
