I've never eaten a pancake,waffle,grapple, grits or french toast for breakfast..

[HipChick]

Am I missing something?

[MiddleFingerMom]

1. Some waffles are better than others.

.

[Brother Buzz]

2. Treat yourself to a beignet in New Orleans' French Quarter and you'll discover you've missed nothing

[Catshrink]

19. "Beignet butt"

That's what my colleagues called me during a conference in NO. I loved them! They wanted to go drinking, I wanted beignets.

[Catshrink]

3. French toast made with cinnamon-raisin bread

is the best! Tied for second are peanut butter on waffles or strawberries on waffles, also called Belgian waffles. I once had french toast made with orange brioche - it was so awesome!

Dammit. Now I'm hungry!

[rcrush]

7. NO

NO DAMMIT NO MORE FANCY NEW SHIT TO MAKE BREAKFASTS!

I DONT WANT NO DAMN RAISINS IN MY BREAD! I JUST WANT PLAIN BREAD! WTF IS THIS OMG!

[MorningGlow]

4. Extra pounds?

:shrug:

[HipChick]

9. This is my idea of breakfast..

with fried bread and lots of black pudding..

[blueamy66]

14. Okay.

I have officially changed my mind...that looks damn good!

[dana_b]

23. sorry for my ignorance

but what are the black things on the bottom right? the only thing I can imagine is blood sausage.

[HipChick]

26. yep..Black Pudding is basically blood sausage...

[dana_b]

27. thanks!

not my thing but it definitely looks like a meal that will keep you going for the day.

[stray cat]

5. yes

[MicaelS]

6. Yes, you poor neglected child......

You have missed some great food.

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. GRAINS!?!?!?!? ... FOR BREAKFAST!?!?!?!?

.

[Darth_Kitten]

10. Grapples........get some.

:D

[alphafemale]

11. omg! That is fookin hilarious! Where'd you get it? nt

[Darth_Kitten]

29. The pigeon clip? I don't remember.....

Pigeons beating up people...gotta love it. :D

[SoxFan]

36. Looks like Trigger Happy Television

British show, sort of like Candid Camera on acid.

[tango-tee]

16. What's grapples? My English is leaving me stranded again.

[MiddleFingerMom]

17. Grapples...

.
...are some sort of hybrid apple (GM???) that have
a grape-like fragrance to them (though I didn't get
much of a grape flavor when I tried one).
.
Very expensive and seem to be of curiosity value only.
.

[tango-tee]

18. Huh?

It's not like Dinkel, is it? And it's made by General Motors?

[MiddleFingerMom]

21. Genetically Modified (Frankenfood)...

.
...and I think the German translation may be Grarschloch.
.
But then again, it's been almost 35 years since I've spoken German,
so I just MAY be wrong about that.
.
.
Just Googled and found they're not GM'd -- it's a "relaxing bathing process". :rofl:
.

Makes it more likely I'm wrong about "Grarschloch", too.
.

Grarschloch.
.

[tango-tee]

24. To me, a "relaxing bathing process"

involves someone scrubbing my back, massaging my feet, and it definitely does NOT include being infused with grape flavor. But hey, that's just me. I'm weird that way.

PS: You only need to drop the grapple-like "Gr" from the "Grarschloch". And: perfectemundo.

[Darth_Kitten]

30. Apples injected with grape juice......

mmmmm.........

[Richardo]

12. "I've never eaten a pear."

Charlie - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"

[blueamy66]

13. Nope.

I'm with ya.

I abhor breakfast foods.

Give me leftover Chinese take out or a chicken samich anytime....

Okay, I'll eat chicken fried steak....

:-)

[edbermac]

15. I have but I've never eaten a kipper for breakfast.

Fish in the morning?? :puke:

[aquattro_660]

20. hell yeah. pancakes are great

[MajorChode]

22. Grits aren't just for breakfast

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. Lived down South for several years...

.
...and had a waitress tell me she could pick out a Yankee by the
way they ate their grits -- Southerners like black pepper and
butter and Yankees like milk and sugar like Cream of Wheat.
.
Had homemade cheese grits at a potluck dinner once and the cook
and the other Southerners were proud/impressed but I was pretty
much "meh".
.
And THOSE cheese grits look like a forlorn microwaved Peep.
.
This in NO way impugns the character or decisions of ANYONE who
may have embraced grits-related philosophies or lifestyles.
.
.
.

.
.
Or... (he said slyly to his closeted gritaphobic fellow travelers)... or DOES it?
.

[MajorChode]

28. I get the same reaction

People either love or hate grits. Ironically you can call it polenta and people tend to view it more favorably because they think they are getting something only the best restaurants serve rather than a rustic staple dish of the south.

A few years ago my daughter had slumber party and at breakfast I asked all the girls who wanted fried pork bellies. Nobody raised their hand. Then I asked who wanted bacon. Everyone raised their hand.

It's all in the marketing.

[hippywife]

34. I like my grits with butter and sugar.

'round here, that's eating then "north'run." When I was waiting tables when I first moved here, my customers knew I was "north'run" by the way I said syrup: Seerup instead of surp. :rofl:

[SoxFan]

31. Yes, you are!

Belgian waffles are TEH AWESOME. Dessert for breakfast...strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, and nobody can do a damn thing about it!

And I like grits. Funny thing is that my wife, born in Louisiana, raised in Arkansas, doesn't really care for them.

[HipChick]

32. that's it right there..can't do dessert for breakfast..

[pitohui]

33. well obv. you're missing something

it begs the question of where you were brought up that you never have eaten any of those things -- the family too poor to own a waffle iron is a family quite likely to at some point need to save money by whipping up french toast

i know there was many a day in my past when i had french toast for dinner because it was either that or wipe out the penny jar if i wanted to eat

i just can't picture that someone has never had pancakes, waffles, OR french toast -- i guess if you have juvenile diabetes and never broke yr diet even once then it could happen but otherwise it's hard to fathom how this could happen

my mom did her best to have eggs, bacon, toast -- a real breakfast -- every morning but it's her sunday too and sometimes she would just whip up pancakes and that's it, guys, now shuddup & read the funny papers...

[HipChick]

37. Nope..raised in Europe

but I get the same question everytime I go out to breakfast or a brunch with someone..

[tigereye]

35. what about crepes?

I would say you are missing something... :D I love waffles and french toast with fruit.

[Dr Morbius]

38. Nobody I've met dislikes pancakes.

Pancakes with butter and maple syrup: authentic comfort food. Just go to a pancake house, ask for a regular stack and a cup of either coffee or tea, tell 'em to keep their damn powdered sugar to themselves and go nuts. It's wonderful food.

[MiddleFingerMom]

39. I REALLY detest right-wing pancakes...

.
...because they have that bitter taste of FEAR-FEAR-FEAR-FEAR-FEAR-FEAR-FEAR.

40. Only the grits.

Grits are beautiful. They are versatile. In some form or another they are the basis of some of the most interesting cuisnes in the world. Pap in south Africa, Polenta in Italy, etc.

ALthough grits and polenta are very different, even if some companies try to claim they are the same. Grits are courser and cooked faster, and are much tastier by themselves. You can use them instead of rice in various dishes, too, and can even chill them, cube them, and then bread and fry them for a dish that tastes and feels a little like oysters, if you do the breading right (you can do this with polenta, too).

Oh yeah, and they are the only grain I really like for breakfast. Pancakes are good when you can't get grits, but they are mostly a dessert if you ask me. Especially with as much syrup as I put on them. :)
