Surely you mean Freedom Toast. I was pretty sure we changed the name.


That was french fries.


The freedom maids were not happy about it either.

Fun fact: What is now called steak tartare was originally called steack à l'Americaine in France in the 1920's.

Gary and Sara might take issue with that.

Waffles are the perfect gamer food. They're already marked off in 5' squares.

*blink*

What kind of MONSTER FREAKING WAFFLES are you eating where the little squares are 5' wide?!

On a side note, while I'm not technically OP, I'd like to tactlessly claim credit for its current content.

I'm so gleefully happy! I tried flapjacking* for years on the WoW boards and it never caught on.

*Unceremoniously changing the topic of a thread you're dissatisfied with to flapjacks, and copy/pasting the wikipedia entry on flapjacks.


FLAPJACKSH!!! WE NEED LOTS OF FLAPJACKSH!!!

Well they're not to scale of course. But neither are the grids on gamer maps.

Though admittedly, most waffles would still be too small for the average mini.


Just use mini-Eggo waffles; they'll work for wargaming. Make sure you only paint your figs with syrup-based paint though.


But The Waffler was such a bad superhero, mostly because of Dane Cook.

I'm not sure what you mean by not being to scale. If each inch represents 5' then it is 1/60 scale, no?

Mmm. Monster waffle.

How are we rationing out syrup for that?


MONSTER WAFFLE TAKES ALL THE SYRUPS


I always thought flapjacks were a combination of oats, some sort of sticky substance (golden syrup, treacle, superglue, napalm and so on) and whatever else you wanted to put in 'em - not the same thing as pancakes at all. Still, the more you live the more you learn, and I do have a beard made of oats, golden syrup, treacle superglue and napalm, which means I'm on topic twice (at least)

Tater tops are non-topical.

Ranged Touch syrup bomb on RoboChris: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Amount of sweet deliciousness if hits: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Why aren't the dice this kind in my pbps?


DR/Epic, Treppa


All your waffle are belong to us.


They can take our oatmeal but they'll never have, Our WAFFLES!!!

Can we get some green onion pancakes with these waffles? I wonder if you could make green onion pancakes with bacon inside.


Yes, yes you can and they are delicious


My daughter got some bacon pancakes a while ago. She dug through the pancake for the bacon, then ate my bacon along with her own side of bacon. She never did finish the pancake. Isn't that cute? Note to self: explain heart disease.

Bacon pancaake!


Waffles and pancakes on the same plate?!.....This is heresy...sweet delicious heresy...but heresy none the less. The mixing of the syrup covered pastries is an abomination!.

You stack them, starting with waffle for a strong base, alternating between waffle, pancake, waffle, pancake, et cetera....


OK thats it. I have been converted. To celebrate my new outlook on pancakes and waffles on a single plate I will be opening a new resturant dedicated to them.

International Waffle House of Pancakes. Now I have to find a way to keep the customers from having pleasure overload.


Waffles + bacon = heresy, but waffles + fried chicken = franchise on the west coast? I don't understand. Hopefully this will help. The SWANKY MOES!


Wait....huh? Bacon + anything = awesome, last I checked.

Bacon maple cupcakes are not waffles or pancakes, but I can attest that they exist and are delicious.


A pancake and bacon sandwich, between two waffles, with a maple syrup butter spread.

There's a cafe near my house, they don't do this with pancakes (or waffles), but they do it with scones. Savory scones are delicious.

I've known this for some time. Did a story about it a few years back for the student paper.

Basically, maple harvesting requires temperatures where it rises to cool in the day and drops at night, around a certain temperature (can't remember what) which generally happens in autumn. The reason for this is that they "catch" the sap when it falls back down and they need that oscillating temperature to get the sap moving up and falling back down again.

However, when it is 80 degrees in october and immediately drops to -50 with windchill in november, there's no opportunity.


Ummm... all it means is the industry will have to move its production further north, right? Seems to be a pretty small problem, all things considered. And we can still has maple syrups.

I don't think you're quite getting it. Further north is even worse.

The way the industry is organized doesn't really allow for uprooting and moving. It's like saying hey, why don't you just move the mine up north? By "move production further north" do you mean uproot hundreds of thousands of fully grown maple trees and replant them somewhere hundreds of miles away, where the unpredictable weather will still be a factor?


So if we start planting maple trees in canada now where they can barely grow in 50 years your kids can have the market cornered on syrup....


If you're serious about calling it climate change and global warming, the strip of places where maple trees will grow is going to move further north, because temperatures will get higher there. It's not going to happen overnight, either, so I would assume there is time to let NEW trees grow.


Two years ago we had a very warm autumn in the northern US. So warm that our maple harvest was devastated.

Canada, on the other hand, had a slightly warmer than usual fall which INCREASED their yield.

Thing is, there aren't a lot of giant commercial maple farms. It's mostly small, family farms, and if they're not able to make their expected yield 2 or 3 years in a row they shut right on down, because they're living right on margin and it's truly a seasonal business.

Similarly, while Canadian yields were bigger, it's not an easy turn around to reinvest in the business when growing the business means purchasing new land and cultivating adult maple trees which, as BNW points out, takes a good long while.

More to the point though, it's not as simple as "things move north" because it's more about the UNPREDICTABILITY of weather than a predictable shift to the north. If you have an industry that is a smattering of family farms who need a predictable return on investment to even break even, having autumn weather which is randomly too warm or too cold throws a wrench in the whole shebang.

It's entirely possible that we're looking at long-term maple shortages and commensurate rise in prices.

My plot to drag this thread off-topic and sow contention has succeeded!
