people who ask people to stop eating waffles are jerks

[XemaSab]

I'm just sayin'.

[indepat]

1. Waffles once a day are enough for me

[GOPisEvil]

2. Are you callin' Zuni a jerk in the midst of Zuni Week?

That's courage.

[XemaSab]

4. If Zuni asks people to stop eating waffles

then Zuni is a jerk, Zuni week or no.

You just don't step between a person and their waffles. That's not what a true friend does.

A true friend says "do you want me to get you some berries for those waffles?"

[GOPisEvil]

5. I can't say I disagree.

I admire your courage for takin' on Zuni during Zuni Week. I'm not sure I have the guts.

[XemaSab]

7. thank you.

your moral support means a lot to me.

[GOPisEvil]

8. Well, he smokes crack. All day, every day, he's lightin' that pipe.

Crackheads scare me.

[XemaSab]

9. if I had to choose

between a crackhead and a wafflehead, I'd choose the wafflehead every day of the week.

[GOPisEvil]

10. Darn straight.

I've never been attacked on the street by someone wanting a hit of maple syrup for their waffles.

[XemaSab]

12. I've never had a friend

eat a stack of waffles and try to climb a eucalyptus tree with disastrous results.

[GOPisEvil]

15. Yeah, at worst, that person would sit like a lump on his or her couch.

[XemaSab]

17. or get on DU

and spend half the day posting in the lounge about how great it was.

[GOPisEvil]

22. True, true. We had a DU brunch here today.

I didn't have a waffle though. I could have ordered one with the buffet. I had a pancake instead. If I had a waffle today, I'd be here talking about it.

[XemaSab]

23. wow

that's heavy stuff.

so close, so close...

[GOPisEvil]

28. If I'd only known today was waffle day, I'd have ordered one.

As it stands, I'm just a wanna-be.

[XemaSab]

31. I hear ya

this morning I was considering going for a big breakfast, but instead I went home and slept through church.

I feel like a real loser right now.

[GOPisEvil]

35. I worshipped at the altar of the chilaquiles tacos.

I'm a heathen.

[XemaSab]

40. breakfast tacos

are a trend that has not yet taken root in california, sadly.

Mexican food two meals a day some days just isn't enough.

on edit: though of course waffles will always be my first love.

[GOPisEvil]

44. Breakfast tacos are proof of (insert diety here)'s love for us.

But...back to waffles...flavored syrups? Yes or no? I'm a traditionalist - pure maple.

[XemaSab]

51. I agree... either maple or jam

The flavored syrups seem to be to be trying to have it both ways, and you wind up losing the charm inherent in both maple syrup and jam.

[GOPisEvil]

54. The restaurant where we ate today, offered pecan butter with syrup.

The pecan butter is a nice touch.

Fresh fruit is nice, but whipped cream seems excessive.

[XemaSab]

58. Oooh, yeah

Pecan butter sounds like some good stuff.

Whipped cream is good if the fruit is a bit tart, but only a little bit... not too much, or you wind up having something more like strawberry shortcake than waffles.

[GOPisEvil]

61. You are truly a waffle master.

I agree totally.

[XemaSab]

66. How do you feel about

ingredients in the batter, like apples and cinnamon?

Do you think they add something, or are you a purist?

[GOPisEvil]

67. I believe those are more appropriate for pancakes.

I'm a waffle-batter traditionalist. The flavorings for waffles should be on top.

[XemaSab]

71. I see....

So the crevices in the waffles are put there in order to hold the flavors? Would you say this is the case?

[GOPisEvil]

73. They allow for accumulation of syrup and for topping traction.

:D

[XemaSab]

78. as opposed to pancakes,

which are to toppings as a slip n' slide is to a third grader's birthday party.

[GOPisEvil]

83. Correct you are.

Only butter and syrup go on top of pancakes.

[XemaSab]

85. and those, poorly

I'm worried that we're coming to a conclusion that pancakes are inherently inferior.

Does that make us as bad as Zuni?

[GOPisEvil]

86. Not at all. Pancakes have their place and time.

For example a buttermilk/blueberry pancake with butter and real maple syrup is quite sublime. Some days are waffle days, and some days are pancake days.

[XemaSab]

87. yes.....

I still feel that the primary virtue of pancakes is the fact that they're easy to make at home, which is faint praise.

Culinary ease and culinary excellence rarely go hand in hand.

[GOPisEvil]

88. I disagree.

By using quality ingredients, even the humble pancake can be quite excellent.

I purchased an electric griddle just to make pancakes easier, as well as frying eggs and bacon.

[XemaSab]

89. I associate eating pancakes

with student poverty.

I associate eating waffles with going out for breakfast in style.

[GOPisEvil]

90. It's been a long time since I was a student, and I still love pancakes.

Granted waffles have a certain cache, but sometimes, the simplicity of the pancake is what I crave.

But then, I'm a Gemini; I'm a little dual-natured. ;)

[XemaSab]

91. Sadly, I need to go get food

I think I'm going to go get some red-tail ales and toast the noble waffle!

cheers!

[GOPisEvil]

92. Slainte!

Have a nice evening meal. Toast the noble waffle for me as well.

:hi:

[SOteric]

3. And it's not even very smart.

'Cause there's still pizza.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Mmmmmmm...pizza.

:9

[SOteric]

11. ...and Gelatiamo....

:7

[GOPisEvil]

14. *slobber*

Gelatiamo is a small branch office of heaven on earth. I had the large, two scoops of chocolate and two scoops of raspberry. :9

[SOteric]

18. I love the ameretto they sometimes make...

and during the holidays, they make a pumpkin pie flavour version that is sooooooo slobberworthy.

[GOPisEvil]

24. Then it's settled. I simply must return.

:7

We have a similar place here called La Dolce Vita. I need to go, it's been too long.

[XemaSab]

21. pardon me?

this is my waffle thread. I would appreciate some respect here, and I don't think slobbering on the floor over a non-waffle-related food item constitutes respect. thank you.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Gelato ON a waffle would be divine!!!

:9

[XemaSab]

26. this is true

thanks for bringing the thread back to waffles!

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

29. Anything for you.

Normally I threadjack with impugnity, but since you asked nicely...

[XemaSab]

33. Wow... that's really sweet!

I'm touched!

[GOPisEvil]

38. Mark this day on your calendar.

I might get my threadjacking card suspended, but some things are just worth it.

[sundog]

27. you really shouldn't have brought up gelato

[GOPisEvil]

32. I know...now I want some.

[sundog]

36. it was a bit disrespectful & the op & waffles in general

[GOPisEvil]

39. However, I have returned to the subject at hand.

[sundog]

43. i guess you're right. maybe you stand a better chance of not going to hell

[GOPisEvil]

46. At least not today.

[sundog]

49. maybe the waffle gods will do something special for you

[GOPisEvil]

59. I call upon them for their blessing.

[SOteric]

That's it.

We're going to have to seriously consider revoking your status as a threadjacking asshole.

[GOPisEvil]

53. Shall we discuss The Rosebud Cafe then?

I had a lovely fryer of eggs, pancetta and cherry tomatoes. Delicious.

[Zuni]

42. waffles do not need you to patronize them

[sundog]

45. i don't need you to tell me my ass is getting too big. what's your point?

[Zuni]

48. I don't need you to tell me I can get sick from drinking swamp water

[sundog]

52. drink it then... the green part is full of nutrients

[sundog]

13. thanks for your support XemaSab... zuni is evil

[XemaSab]

16. no, thank YOU

it's important to get this out there.

[sundog]

19. i've been hiding it so long... i had to confide in someone

[Kire]

20. I'm wat hing Tapeheads on DVD, now.

John Cusack and Tim Robbins play music video producers.

the commercial for the Chicken & Waffles chain just came on, it's great

[no name no slogan]

30. Yeah, what'd waffles ever do to anybody?

I love 'em myself. In fact, I'm gonna go have some right now. Anybody care to join me?

[sundog]

34. ask zuni... he knows everything... but he's hiding now

[Zuni]

37. Sundog is lying and the MSM is repeating his filthy lies!

why do you hate America, XemaSab? :shrug:

[sundog]

41. gee, you should have thought of that before you started to abuse me

[XemaSab]

47. Zuni,

I think the record has clearly shown that you are a waffle-hater.

What do you have to say for yourself?

[Zuni]

50. some of my best friends are waffles

I think that speaks for itself

[XemaSab]

55. I defy you to name

one waffle you have ever had over to your house for dinner.

See? You're all talk and no waffles.

[Zuni]

57. this blueberry waffle from Philly

one of my best friends growing up

[XemaSab]

64. what does that mean?

this sounds vague, like maybe you went to his birthday party or something once before you cultivated your HATRED OF WAFFLES.

Who taught you to hate waffles? Was it your parents? Friends? The internet?

[Zuni]

72. unlike you elitist liberals

I grew up with waffles, while you northeastern elitists breakfasted on crepes growing up. Whereas you have cultivated your love of Waffles in a Harvard cafeteria, where I come from waffles were a way of life! I know waffles---and I love them. But I have to draw the line somewhere.

[XemaSab]

75. I don't think you know anything about my background

with waffles. I'm not from the northeast, I'm from California, where we accept waffles as part of the diversity that makes this state home.

I had waffles in my house all the time growing up, and I think you're just trying to find some justification for your wafflism, when it's really just based on hate.

[sundog]

77. you are the george w bush of crack smokers... you don't like anything

that's not just like you

[sundog]

56. yes, but you have openly campaigned against them fucker!

[Zuni]

60. I can't help if I believe that Waffle marriage is wrong

[sundog]

62. fuck you... i'm cutting off your rock supply... burn in hell

[GOPisEvil]

63. So, I suppose a waffle-pancake marriage is right out in your fascist world

[sundog]

65. what you said

[Zuni]

68. marriage of pancakes and waffles will undermine traditional marriages

marriages like Bacon and Eggs, Toast and Jam...etc

what do you want...Anarchy? :o

[sundog]

69. what the fuck are you talking about? first you're against waffle marriage

now you're against pancake/waffle marriage

[Zuni]

74. pancake/waffle marriage will undoubtedly lead to

horrors such as grits/cantelope marriage or pancake/scrapple marriage. Where do we draw the line? :eyes:

[sundog]

79. i'm alerting on this

[GOPisEvil]

70. If two breakfast foods want to join each other in culinary matrimony,

who are we to say it's wrong?

[Zuni]

76. do you want to see grits and pancakes together on your plate?

I certainly don't.

[GOPisEvil]

80. Then don't order them together...

...no one's forcing their lifestyle on you.

[Zuni]

82. but what about our children?

they could be recruited into eating an unnatural breakfast

[GOPisEvil]

84. Who are you to decide what's unnatural?

[Zuni]

81. I totally had to bookmark this thread

this thread is hilarious
