Breakfast wars: What’s better: Waffle or Pancakes?

Are waffles an American thing? I don't think I've ever had them and pancakes, well they are a bit meh unless drowned in lemon and honey.

I’m feeling bad for pancakes right now.

Waffles... and filling every square with a drizzle of maple syrup.🧇😋

(PS. You're not an idiot, this could be an important question someday - you never know)

Waffles have soul.

Neither are really a breakfast thing where I'm from,but I've liked both when visiting the U.S.

Waffles. The texture of the crispy exterior and light, fluffy interior makes it better than the more uniform pancake.

Waffles... but who wants to clean the waffle iron?

Pancakes that are shaped like waffles

Pancakes and French toast 😍

French Toast is superior to both.

I like them both.

Waffles hands down. Crispy, soft interior, more flavor, has little squares that work as condiment condos for maximum syrup or jam retention.

Pancakes are mushy, bland and boring. Bad textrue, flat on flavor. Then you add syrup or jam and they turn to wet sponges They seem mkre like something that someone screwed up than something intentional.

I like pancakes better, but live an occasional waffle as well.
