Pancakes vs. Hotcakes: The Great Debate.
Written by Captain Spork on 11:14 AM
Seriously, you didn't think I would go there did you? Unlike the writers of Lost and Heroes, I'm not going to make you wait five years to figure shit out.
Now you may wonder, "Isn't hotcakes just another name for pancakes?" While the "hotcake lobby" would have you believe such a simple story, there is more to it than just a difference in regional dialects. Pancakes are wonderfully substantive, mouth-watering flatbread delights. They can withstand an onslaught of butter, jams, jellies and assorted syrups and still maintain their delicious fluffiness. Hotcakes, on the other hand, are limp and lifeless pieces of rubbery flour/water compost. When put under the slightest amount of condiments or pressure from a utensil, the hotcake loses its form entirely.
My cousin Heather will back me up on the science. Pancakes are meal while the alleged "hotcake," can at best serve as an appetizer to pancakes. I can't address "flapjacks" because I have never actually eaten one and can only assume that they are some kind of bastardized version of a pancake.
Pancakes vs. hotcakes: Winner... pancakes in a syrupy landslide of buttery goodness! Goddamn I'm hungry.
