    I'm not a fan of cakes but love black forest cake. It's probably because I love cherries.

    Not disgusting, IMO, but entirely pointless--adds nothing, and therefore a waste of cals.

    I'm definitely on this team.

    I guess I fall somewhere in between Nooshi and lemurcat though because I think it takes the pancakes down a notch from being perfectly delicious, but doesn't ruin them. Definitely a big waste of calories.

    Omg I love butter and whipped cream on pancakes! They taste so much better. Worth the cals everytime :)

    SAME! Love WHIPPED butter on pancakes. Makes a difference! With warm berries... yum! I'll pass on the maple syrup though. THAT is a wastye of calories imo

    Ohh see I love syrup too. Whipped butter or cream, berries, syrup. Yum. I have calories coming out of my ears so load er up ;)

    10000% agree, especially the ones my mom makes. Pancakes are a take it or leave it for me. I've had them maybe 10 times in my entire life because I usually find myself opting for something else.

    I still really like pancakes... made with buttermilk and lemon juice... extra fluffy. With fresh blueberry compote. Reminds me of childhood.

    @pancakerunner that looks delish :)

    I love crepes and pancakes. Oh and French toast. I love it all. (Can you tell I love food? :p )

    I don't love beets, chestnuts, liver, pumpkin pie or strong smelly cheeses. But I will eat them occasionally depending on my mood and how they are prepared.

    No to butter (especially the whipped variety) on pancakes. That goes for maple syrup/jam/honey, etc., too...I just like them plain - weird I guess lol!

    However I don't 'mind' some butter on a biscuit...I like them plain for sure though (scones too)

    This one looks yummo! I love cakes with various 'textures' ie. that is why carrot cake is the 🐐

    Whipped cream, YES! Butter......no.

    When I was a kid, I went to a restaurant and thought that blob of butter was whipped cream so ate it and was disgusted. Butter, by itself? Yuck. I actually never saw the appeal of butter on bread, pancakes, or anything else. It doesn’t enhance the flavor at all, imo. Whipped cream makes everything better.

    Yea a blob of butter might be too much. I love when it's melted into the bread or pancakes. It gives it a pleasurable fatty taste and texture like adding fresh oil to salad or on top of pasta or risotto.

    But whipped cream especially fresh oh yea deeelish.

    now I think I know where the ick factor came from with regards to whipped butter or butter in general on pancakes/biscuits etc., I probably did the same thing (eating that 'blob' straight up) as a kid...lol!

    I don't do anything with cilantro or cumin. Cilantro tastes like soap and cumin tastes like feet.

    Beer is disgusting. I have tried craft ones, “good ones”, all kinds. All are gross to me. The maltiness is what is bad.

    ALL beer just tastes like dish washing liquid to me. Soapy!

    Oddly I love Coriander (Cilantro) which is supposed to taste soapy to some genetically challenged people! 🤷‍♀️

    They are! She made 20 or so of each type, plus cake, pie, and 2 of my favorite meals (stuffed zucchini and borscht). She took a day off today just to cook me stuff. I logged 4k calories for today just for the record, didn't really log individual foods.

    Oh, man: I haven't had lefsa in decades. Want!

    No sugar, though. Maybe butter, maybe good jam.

    Don't care what other people put on 'em, but know what I like. And eating granulated sugar in its plain form, like sprinkled on lefse, is not a thing I like.

    As always with these things: More for you, eh? :)
