Depends on the quality. High quality French toast can be transcendent. A decent Belgian waffle is always good. Finally, pancakes are like pizza. It's hard to entirely fuck them up, so even crappy pancakes are ok with enough butter and maple syrup.
Imo, you can dip the cheapest wonder bread in beaten eggs, cook it, and cover it in butter and jam and it's still pretty damn good. Even burnt they taste good with syrup
Really? I was about to comment that French toast is too dependent on the bread and I rarely have bread that works well.
Okay you got me there, whole wheat is definitely a poor choice for French toast. Sourdough is surprisingly good though. I guess my previous comment should've said that even the cheapest white bread is decent for french toast. Obviously good breads are on a different level, but that goes for any food
Huh, I’ll have to try French toast with sourdough. Admittedly haven’t tried, since whole wheat works so poorly
Ironically, I have had some really bad French toast in my day. Like, so bad I hated anything with cinnamon on it for years. For decades, the smell of French toast made me want to vomit. I couldn't even go to breakfast joints that served it.
