Today is pancake day in the Maritimes. I don't really know how, but at some point the observence of Shrove Tuesday morphed into a generalised Pancake holiday.

Churches (all types), service clubs, and schools are hosting Pancake Suppers as a fundraiser. Resturants are offering them for the evening menu.

And here @ chez Rogers we just put away a very large stack of pancakes & maple syrup!

All of this causes me to ask the age old question,

Pancakes or Waffles?
 
I'll answer the question in the form of a riddle:

What kind of food can't make up it's mind?
 
PANCAKES?!!?!?!

You have a whole day set aside for pancakes? Dude, I need to get in on that!

Pancakes are the answer. Easy.

Pancakes, because sweet potato waffles and blueberry ricotta waffles just don't work as well.

Sweet! Given my proclivity for cannibalism my next guess would have been Joe Lieberman. ;)

Technically shroves are crepes. And that recipe is good. But we are on a waffle kick these days. I like to put half white whole wheat flour in and you can barely tell the difference. In fact I just ate a leftover one for a snack, with real maple syrup and a generous pat of butter. MMMMM.
 
I like both. Pancakes with blueberries, real butter, and real maple syrup (dark amber grade).

Waffles= sliced bananas, real butter, and real maple syrup (same grade).
 
I like both pancakes and waffles. Waffles tend to be more crisp but both in my estimation are best when served with authentic 100% Vermont or Canadian real Maple syrup! I am hungry for both now thinking of them...lol

You should try Maine Maple Syrup.
 
I really love both! But, if I had to choose I'd say pancakes because of the variety. You can make apple, blueberry, pumpkin, banana, buttermilk, sweet potato, chocolate chip......the-list-goes-on pancakes! And you can add maple syrup, butter and fresh fruit on top as you can with waffles! Yumm! :)
 
Pumpkin pancakes are the best! But......cranberry pancakes are great too......so are pecan pancakes (Georgia pecans only of course)

Pancakes get my vote for the variety as well.
 
Both, please!

Actually, I've always said that pancakes are the ultimate comfort food. So I probably should go with them.
