What breakfast meat goes with pancakes?

[Beware the Beast Man]

This is a debate of great importance in the Beast Man household. I say pancakes must always be served with sausage; my wife begs to differ and prefers bacon. Who wins this great morning meal struggle?
p.s. I'm throwing ham into the mix as well.

1. What, no "Both" option?

What are you, some kind of mixed-meat-hater?

[Sympleesmshn]

28. or an all three option

[NoStinkinBadges]

36. All of the above would get my vote.

[Dr.Phool]

2. Cat

The other white meat.:evilgrin:

[Wapsie B]

3. Rinderwurst.

Edit: for those questioning souls Rinderwurst is probably the healthiest meat item mentioned in this thread, made out of roast beef, oatmeal, and spices. It's a loose-meat sausage, meaning it's one thing us Germans don't grind up and stuff in a sausage casing. It's fairly lean protein.

4. links pease not patties

[kick-ass-bob]

7. I prefer patties to links in most cases...

but with pancakes, its gotta be links.

Weird?

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. Absolutely. Must be links.

[mcscajun]

11. Links!

Gotta be pork...no silly substitutes here.

Mind you...bacon and eggs is good too. But with pancakes...it's GOTTA be sausage. :)

[tekriter]

22. Being a straight male...

I do NOT eat links.

[meganmonkey]

5. I just cooked bacon for the first time the other day

It was easy AND delicious!

[Salviati]

6. I voted other in place of "Yes"

[CottonBear]

8. Sausage links.

I'm on a low-fat diet so I must limit my sausage intake. I like the vegetarian sausage links by Morningstar Farm. Quite tasty with pancakes or waffles.

edit: Does anyone else like syrup on their sausage? MMMM!

[petronius]

27. That was the first thing I thought of

The links/syrup synergy is why sausage is the required pancake accompaniment (other meats are acceptable and desirable in addition to, but not instead, of sausage)...

[CottonBear]

32. Exactly! It's a brilliant food combo. n/t

[terrya]

9. To be specific: sausage links. NOT patties, links.

[asthmaticeog]

12. But what of the mystery meats?

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. That No Frills potted meat is frightening.

I wouldn't eat that during a nuclear winter. :scared:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

13. Pigs in a blanket!!

YUMMY!

[GOPisEvil]

14. Both are good with excess syrup, but sausage is slightly better.

Now, if the pancakes comes with eggs, too, then one must have both meats.

[Wickerman]

15. I know it "should" be sausage, but I love bacon

just like Elvis.

Elvis loved bacon so much, he was said to have kept a bowl of crispy pieces on his piano for munching purposes.

16. Bacon? With pancakes? Not sausage? It's an abomination.

And further proof that Satan walks the earth.

[TahitiNut]

18. Steak.

Yum. Goes even better with eggs.

[ET Awful]

19. Bacon wrapped sausages baked into a ham :) n/t

[Bunny]

20. With maple syrup chasers? Sounds good to me!!! n/t

[fluffernutter]

21. i love to dip my bacon in the syrup, it's so yummy!

but, it really doesn't matter which of the above is served with pancakes, imo - they are all good :9

[cali]

23. The important debate is not the meat, it's the syrup

How can anyone use anything but real maple syrup on pancakes, waffles or french toast? The fake stuff is an abomination!

[Beware the Beast Man]

24. I lived in Geauga County, OH for a bit- big maple area.

To use anything else is sacrilege.

[Fifth of Five]

25. Sausage and syrup...

Mmmmmm

[Left Is Write]

26. Tell the Missus that I vote for sausage.

Actually, we usually don't serve meat with pancakes. We serve Morningstar Farms Breakfast Patties, which taste just like sausage, except no meat.

When we DO use real sausage, I like a good spicy variety.

But not bacon! Not with pancakes.

[BlueEyedSon]

29. Links or patties, links or patties???

:9

[bigwillq]

30. I usually like Sausage with my pancakes and

Bacon with my eggs. But that's just me!

[JVS]

31. Kielbasa
