+1 for pancakes because of their versatility.
You can make a breakfast burrito with pancakes as the tortilla, and fill it with eggs and whatever breakfast accoutrements suits your fancy. You can’t do that with waffles.[/quote]
That is the weakest, one sided argument. You are conveiently leaving out the other half!
WAFFLE CONES!!! Not only can you use this told hold solids, you can even use it to hold liquids if you play your cards right.
ROll up a waffle and let it cool and it will keep its shape. I would hate to see the poor bastard that tries to make a breakfast burrito out of a thick pancake. It wold never hold together. Crepes on the otherhand, if you havent been to flip happy crepes in austin texas, you are missing out.
When talking about using a pancake or a waffle as a host carrier for other food products, you must take into account what foods will go best with said carrier.
You mention eggs and such in your pancake burrito. Well, those make a good meal together, but I dont want to eat them like that, they dont mesh well when chewed together.
On the otherhand, waffle cones hold ice cream. The cone itself can also hold chocolate, and crushed up nuts, sprinkles (an awesome food group in itself) crushed up candy bars, you name it. The ice cream can carry even more loads of items, candy, candy bars, syrups, whipped creams, even fruit!!
From this cone you can eat with a spoon, with a fork, with your mouth and hands, you can hold it to your spouse and share. The possibilities are endless.
What do you get with a pancake burrito? Spills, mess, no sharing, slop. Its a shame really.
