The problem is you’re eatting waffles that are made by bottom tier American restaurants. You need the real thing, the authentic European experience, not the greasy-spoon equivalent.
I won’t try to convert you, I like both pancakes and waffles. If you don’t care for waffles, there are many, MANY wonderful things for breakfast available. I personally find Waffle House quite disgusting and don’t recall any single thing there that I found appetizing. Original Pancake House is like Breakfast Mecca for me, lots of great things and I don’t recall having waffles there.
TBH, it’s been nearly 20 years since I’ve been in a Waffle House. I don’t recall it being particularly repulsive, but then I don’t recall it being memorable at all.
WAFFLE HOUSE
(Tune: “Rocky Top” by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, 1967)
Wish that I was back at Waffle House
Downing waffles and joe.
Everything is good at Waffle House;
Best chain diner I know.
Once I took my girl to Waffle House
For a late-night snack.
I’d sure have to be an awful louse
Not to take her back.
Waffle House, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me!
Good ol’ Waffle House,
Waffle House T.L.C.
Waffle House T.L.C.!
Had to do a search for Waffle House
Near Pittsburgh, P.A.
Lo! Then we found us a Waffle House
Less than an hour away.
It is still a drive to Waffle House
‘Cause it’s kind of far.
But while we’re on the way to Waffle House We sing Dio in the car!
Waffle House, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me!
Good ol’ Waffle House,
Waffle House harmony,
Waffle House harmony!
We’ve had IHOP, we’ve had Eat’N’Park,
We’ve had Denny’s as well, oh
They’re not bad but they don’t hit the mark
Like that black and yellow.
Waffle House, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me!
Good ol’ Waffle House,
Waffle House ecstasy,
Waffle House ecstasy,
Waffle House ecstasy!
Thanks, Robert Nowall and waynezombie! I’ve been wanting to come up with a Waffle-House-themed parody of “Rocky Top” for years; Robert’s mention of Waffle House at the start of this thread finally gave me the kick in the pants to actually do it (so thanks for that part, too, Robert!).
Best use for Waffle House: indication for how bad a natural disaster is. If WH is open, you can probably ride it out. If WH closes, then the gov’t needs to get in there and help people out. Well, maybe not THIS gov’t, but a normal, proper gov’t. Getting rolls of paper towels thrown at you is just insulting.
Seriously, authentic Belgian waffles are incomparable and incredible.
The problem is that like so many other great foods, people try the disappointing imitations and ignorantly assume that the food as a whole must just be lackluster.
No! It’s the cheap knockoffs that are lackluster! Try the real thing! I just want to yell at people sometimes for being so pigheaded!
You can’t dismiss real sushi because you didn’t like the stuff you tried at some strip mall thai fusion restaurant in a small town in the Midwest!
You can’t tell me you don’t like coffee if all you’ve ever had is Starbucks, instant crystals, bottom-of-the-pot gas station and diner dregs!
You don’t get to read the Chronicles of Narnia, buy a stale UK-imported Fry’s Turkish Delight from your local grocery store’s ‘ethnic aisle’, and then think “Wow, that was disappointing! How silly that the book portrayed it as this incredible thing!”, without ever actually trying the real stuff made by the Turks themselves!
FYI, my “watch your language” remark was because they used the word “Belgium”. Everyone should know that’s a swear word in the more civilized parts of the galaxy.
“You know what I mean? I go to grab some late night pancakes, and suddenly it’s like I’m in Night of The Living Dead! All these glassy-eyed freaks stumbling around groaning ‘Syyyyrruuuppp!’ and gnawing on the menus! What’s going on?”
*crowd applause*
“I mean, who even ARE these people? Or better yet, why do all the weirdos congregate in IHOP in the middle of the night? Is there some secret pancake cult I don’t know about? Because, lemme tell you – I’d sacrifice a few virgins if it meant I could get some a half decent waffle every once in a while, amirite?”
Yeah. Next time go to Waffle House.
Waffle House? BLEH! Original Pancake House!
I’ve had waffles at Waffle House, Pancake House, IHoP, and even Bob Evans. None of them impressed me.
I’ve decided that I just don’t like waffles. I know that may not put me on good standing with Klaus Wulfenbach, but it is what it is.
I’m a pancake kind of guy, but I make my own. Go for Bisquick over Aunt Jemima’s.
Agreed.

I’ve had waffles made by a French chef, too, and they didn’t impress me any better. The price was impressive, but I could have done without that part.

Well, second-best use (after eating there in the middle of the night). But, yes, the Waffle House Index is indeed a thing that exists.
She got waffles at IHOP? Heresy!
Hey, if they serve ’em, they’re just as guilty as anyone who eats them.
And is that all the syrup and butter they’re going to put on them?
Obviously not blueberry waffles.
No getting smart on scrambled eggs, either.
Go Belgium or go home.
Hey, watch your language.
That kind of language just isn’t cricket.
Crêpes with boysen berry syrrup.

Zombies at IHOP? Please insert your own joke here.
“What’s the -DEAL- with IHOP?”
*laugh track*

Thank you, Mr. Seinfeld. I didn’t know you were a fan of the webcomic.
I hope Sweetheart takes Unity out somewhere better for dinner. Maybe dancing?
