French toast isn't dry, it's made by dipping bread (ideally thick cut brioche or similar) in a batter of eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and possibly other spices, depending on the recipe. The bread is then cooked on a griddle until golden brown. It should retain the moistness from the batter. Eaten with butter and maple syrup, maybe a bit of jam or other toppings. It is by far my favorite breakfast food and my favorite thing to cook on winter weekend mornings.
French toast came about because people needed a way to use up stale bread. It definitely has that in common with bread pudding but French toast is fried whereas bread pudding is baked.
@L3WG Reacts As other commenters have said: No, most Americans would NEVER have tomatoes or beans with their breakfast. Those aren't breakfast items to us. Tabasco sauce is a sauce made from tabasco peppers (it's a type of aged red peppers), distilled vinegar, and salt. It's medium-hot, usually about 3750 Scoville units. Note that they don't bring you four jars of syrup anymore. Because of the COVID pandemic, they've switched to single-serving packets of syrup that are less likely to spread contamination. The syrup comes in four flavors: regular maple syrup, blueberry, butter pecan, and strawberry. Boysenberry or sugar-free syrup is usually available by request. (Right after COVID, they didn't have boysenberry for a while, but it's the favorite of a lot of people.) You know how raisins are dried grapes, right? Prunes are dried _plums._ They're _very_ high in dietary fiber, so they tend to have a laxative effect if you eat too many of them. French toast is a thick-cut slice of bread, soaked in beaten eggs and often milk or cream, then pan fried. When served as a sweet dish (like in this video), sugar, vanilla, or cinnamon are also commonly added before pan-frying, and then it may be topped with sugar (often powdered sugar), butter, fruit, or syrup.
French toast is very different from regular toast. You make it by coating bread on both sides in a mixture of egg with a little milk and vanilla and then frying it in a pan. It's typically served with butter and syrup just like pancakes but it doesn't get mushy and fall apart like pancakes sometimes do. Obviously they are different than pancakes but with the butter and syrup flavors the taste is similar. Mainly the texture is different
IHOP is not a dessert place , French toast and pancakes are breakfast foods. A American full breakfast is eggs, bacon, sausage or ham, hash brown potato's, pancakes ( or French Toast ) and toast or biscuits.
@@OrondeBranch you’re not making a point, if you add copious amounts of sugar; then it’s a dessert. Plain and simple, it isn’t a dessert if you use a very small amount of syrup; and some butter.

"French" toast is thick bread dipped in a mix of egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla then pan fried and dusted with powder sugar. Further toppings vary. The US doesn't have golden syrup. We use maple syrup made from reduced and sweetened maple sap.

While people are calling IHOP a breakfast place it is a really a restaurant that specializes in breakfast foods, which make up it's most popular meals. However they do serve lunch and dinner, sandwichws, steak and chicken meals, as well but they aren't know as well for those meals. Lunch and dinner meals are probably the same quality that you'd get at most diners. French Toast is a seasoned battered pan-fried toast, not just bread stuck in a toaster. It's pretty easy to make and you can find simple recipes for it online. It is generally served with syrup.
@5:10 - Tabasco peppers are a chilli at about the same heat level as Cayenne. Tabasco sauce is just three ingredients: aged peppers, salt, and vinegar. Made using the same recipe since 1868, it's basically the default hot sauce in US and Canada.
My favorite pancakes at IHOP were not featured in this video, probably because they are a seasonal offering. It’s the pumpkin pancakes, which are made with pumpkin puree and traditional pumpkin pie spices mixed into the pancake batter. Absolutely delicious! It’s like a pumpkin bread or muffin in a pancake form. The pancakes are especially wonderful with the butter pecan syrup.
We love sweet breakfasts here. Pancakes aren't dessert. No matter which type of pancake, I butter them and then syrup. French toast is made with an egg mixture. No just regular toast. Then cover with syrup or sprinkle cinnamon/ sugar mixture. Waffles buttered and either syrup or powder sugar.

"What is this?" Those are hashbrowns... They should have there own food group, absolutely delicious! I like to eat mine with ketchup. Also I'm not certain if that is country ham or fried bologna on top, either one are delicious, but I prefer both of those on a biscuit with fried egg and a slice of cheese.
Unfortunately in the UK the only hashbrowns they know is a preformed deep fried potato patty like at McDonald's. Not even the 'American-style' restaurants over there do real hashbrowns. They're really missing out, it's my favorite from of potatoes.

Also some places DO offer a full English breakfast, but they have to be a little more expensive because a lot of places don’t carry all the supplies for it.

Also you’d be surprised what people cover in syrup, before he passed my grandpa’s favorite meal was the double chocolate chip pancakes, covered in syrup, with a root beer to drink. Sugar upon sugar, lol. Actually for me I prefer the plain pancakes but the NYC cheesecake pancakes are also famous, they’re the regular pancakes with chunks of cheesecake inside of it, and then topped with strawberries in a glaze.
When I worked at iHOP our peak time was after the local Toyota plant changed shift, because there's not a lot of places open at 3 or 4 am here, it's iHOP or Waffle House and Waffle House doesn't have near enough seating. Plus a lot of the Toyota crew became regulars and were recognized by the night manager, who made sure they got served fast and sometimes gave them a little extra or a small discount to make sure they kept coming and brought their friends.
@@wittsullivan8130 I live in Cali and never had a Waffle House, but we were a 24 hour place off the freeway, a block away from a bar, and a block away from a high school, so we were usually the first choice for a lot of people lol. I will say though I used to give discounts and shit like that, but we had one of the corporate offices near us and they put a stop to that my third year of working there, the only discounts allowed were police, firemen, and seniors. I lied half the time to give it to paramedics, military and etc too.
@@Tke When I worked at Academy Sports, across the street from one of our Waffle Houses, they would give me a discount if I was wearing my polo from work. Waffle House also give discounts to police, firefighters, EMT's, and veterans. I think it's really funny that the Waffle House has a weather division, if the Waffle House in your town closes, it's bad, get out. :) We had a massive winter storm back in '94 that shut the power off for most of the area from fallen trees and power lines from the frozen ice for weeks for some people, hours for others. My fiance and her brother went to Waffle House because they were the only place open. They use gas on their flat tops, but electric waffle irons, they almost closed. My fiance's brother talked the cooks into making pancakes on their griddle and saved the day because they could use all their prepared batter. :)
No, we do not have an English breakfast. Most Americans would not eat beans for breakfast. Tabasco sauce is hot sauce. An American breakfast would be eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, toast and hash brown potatoes.
A lot of syrup is a must due to the fact the pancakes soak up the syrup quickly. Usually you have to add more halfway through since dry pancakes are nasty.
We have the ingredients for full English breakfasts but its not what youd get ordering a full breakfast here. Where I'm from it's usually ham or sausage, bacon, fruit salad, hash potatoes or roasted potatoes, toast, biscuits or a muffin, french toast or pancakes (these can come a variety of ways), and eggs cooked to your choice (how you like them) with coffee, milk or juice. Tobasco is a tangy hot sauce. Prunes are a fiber fruit.
We have our own version (numerous,, in fact) of big breakfast. Most British/Irish pubs in the United States will offer some version of a full British breakfast on their menu, but its typically not on a standard American restaurant
If it's got that much sugar in it. it's dessert. With the syrup (and I believe IHOP puts sugar in their pancake batter too) those plates absolutely had as much sugar as you'd find in a bowl of ice cream.
@@wow_horac4663 Even *regular* pancakes have sugar in them. Case in point, the toaster waffles I bought at the store yesterday have 1 gram of sugar in them (each one. Multiply by 24, that's 24 grams of sugar.) Are you going to tell me that 1 gram of sugar per waffle makes them dessert? No, they are a _breakfast_ food. And by the way, IHOP has a sugar-free syrup, but you have to request it.
@@SpearM3064 So from IHOP's nutrition menu. The lowest sugar content pancakes they have is the original buttermilk pancakes. The menu item shows the 3 pancake menu item has 11 grams of sugar and if you check the ingredients (in the more info link) sugar is listed. According to the nutrition facts this is before adding syrup. individually that would be 3.6 grams per pancake which isn't terrible if you're just eating one, but I didn't see an option to get just one pancake. Maybe the al e carte menu. For reference 1 scoop of Ice cream (1/2 cup) has 14 grams of sugar. Also, while many pancake mixes have sugar in them not all do. For example Jiffy baking mix has a pancake recipe on the box that include usually egg, milk/water, and oil/butter. So yes, you are eating as much sugar as a desert for breakfast regardless of what terms you use to describe the meal. Honestly if you take the time to see just how much sugar people are ingesting every day I think it's clear why our country has such a big obesity and diabetes problem. The daily sugar recommendation for Men is 39 grams and for women 25 grams. I personally think that's still a bit to high but in this meal you're basically eating half of the recommendation before you put a topping on.
IHOP isn't just breakfast food which is why they are open 24 hours. Like Waffle House, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner items all day, every day but unlike fast food restaurants, if you want breakfast for dinner, you can get breakfast foods for dinner at IHOP or Waffle House :). French toast isn't just toast. It's bread soaked in an egg mixture with cinnamon, milk, and vanilla then pan fried in butter like you would a pancake, sometimes sprinkled with what you'd call Icing sugar and eaten with syrup or berries, etc. Prunes are a specific variety of plums that are dried but they're not dried out like raisins. They are good for when you need a little help in going to the bathroom, lol, but they are very nutritious.
I love pancakes more than waffles. But I much more like French Toast over pancakes, if that makes sense. On coffee, you can goto some restaraunts and order just coffee. They will give you a coffee pot and me I call it the bottomless coffee pot. For I am a Coffee drinker and I drink a lot of coffee. So, I never once ran out of Coffee with one of those coffee pots. I have tried my best and never succeeded in doing so.
I love your reaction videos! You actually REACT, emotionally and energetically. Many "reaction" video content creators simply discuss their opinions of the video cerebrally, as if they were discussing chemical theories in university science class. No British stiff upper lip for you. I love it.
It's not just toast. French toast is bread battered in an egg mixture, and pan fried. Then with the toppings on it. It definitely doesn't taste like toast.
OMG. I grew up going to IHOP. On the weekends or very early morning (midnight or later) after a long road trip home. I lived for the choice of the 4 syrups. Sure, there's maple, but my favorite was the blueberry syrup. Or the strawberry syrup. Later I grew to like the Boysenberry. I also started to enjoy the pancakes with apple cinnamon compote and whipped cream on it. The pancakes are also much better quality than McDonald's. As is much of the rest of their food.
The american version of a full english would probably be eggs, hash browns or fried potatoes, sausage, bacon, and a side of pancakes, waffles, or french toast. Thats definitely a common order at a diner or breakfast place. My go to for sure.
Any sit-down restaurant in the US will constantly refill your coffee at no additional charge. Servers circulate the dining rooms and refill constantly. A quarter of my coffee is made up of half and half so I usually cover my coffee so they don't just fill it up with fresh piping hot Joe. Favorite Pancakes are only available in the autumn at IHOP. Pumpkin Pancakes with extra whipped cream. No butter or syrup is necessary- just put whipped cream on all layers and let it melt into them. Tastes like the best Pumpkin pie.
My favorite pancake are Swedish Pancakes. These are essentially a crape, rolled up and served with lingonberry butter and compote and often sprinkled with powered sugar and then maple syrup poured over. I have the powered sugar left off, too sweet. Coming from a Swedish/Finish family I grew up on these.
My favorite thing to eat at IHOP is their original pancakes with the butter and original syrup served hot. I always ask the servers to warm up the syrup and most of the time they will. So good.
Waffles, French toast, and then pancakes for me at least. And if I have to choose what to put on my pancakes it would be just peanut butter. Sometimes I do add Strawberry jelly/jam to them too and make them PB & J pancakes but I prefer just PB.
you can get just about anything you want here .... most "diners" will make you whatever you want in an omlet (eggs with whatever fried together) and it usually comes with fried potatoes, bacon or sausage, and toast
1) canada has baseball teams 2) it was billed as the series to decide the best teams in the world from two different leagues. 3) the pancakes are international. You can sell people on somethu g in America all the time if tou tell them it is from Europe or Japan or something
1) I like both waffles and pancakes, they’re basically the same ingredients. I like them with butter and powdered sugar, or fruit and whipped cream. I also like chocolate chip pancakes. 2) They have all kinds of breakfast food. Those are not all maple syrup, which I can’t stand. 3) Tabasco is hot sauce. 4) Prunes are dried plums. 5) French toast is thick slices of bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and cinnamon; then fried on a griddle.
Most breakfast restaurants have a "classic" breakfast on their menu. It consists of 2 eggs made to order (scrambled, over easy, or sunny side up), hash browns ( shredded or "hashed" potatoes fried to brown it) a choice of bacon or sausage, and a choice of toast or a pancake. That is usually my go-to if I don't know what I want. French toast is toast dipped in egg batter, then fried on a pan. It goes good with syrup. McDonald's pancakes are not even close to regular pancakes. I consider IHOP a middle of the road restaurant, not going to be outstanding, just average. It is good for big families, like Denny's. Plus more seating room than Waffle House.
There's country ham and "ham". Country Ham is more natural, sliced off an actual ham. Processed ham is closer to Spam. I prefer country ham (even though it is saltier). I love fried hashbrowns (shredded potatoes cooked on a flat top). I haven't been to iHop since during Covid, but before Covid it was common for them to have small pitchers of maple syrup, butter pecan syrup, strawberry syrup, and blueberry syrup, sometimes peach. iHop leaves the coffee pot with you, other places do, too, even leaving a pitcher of sweet tea so you can serve yourself. We have free refills for regular drinks like soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Specialty drinks, like fruit flavored teas are usually sold by the glass.
I watched this now because I just spent a week without A/C, and I live in Arizona, where the day highs were between 110-116F each day! So, we went out to IHop for our meal 3 days in a row. I always have a breakfast meal, and my wife likes salads and shrimp and chicken. The first day I had 2 fried eggs, 4 slices of bacon, a thick French toast, and 2 pancakes. I also ordered a side order of hash brown potatoes.Look at the size of the French toast! It was so much food, I gave the second pancake to my wife, who had 5 shrimps and a salad. The next day I had the senior Sunrise meal - 2 eggs, 2 bacon, hash brown potatoes, and toast. Their food is always very good! We did not have any waffles this time.The 'normal' American breakfast is bacon (or sausage) and eggs and toast, usually with orange juice. During the War, the morning of a landing was steak and eggs! In the Pacific War, there were like over 50amphibious landings!
IHOP was the place to go after the club closes or breakfast. We also keep this kind of meal to the weekends. A typical weekday breakfast is lighter (cereal, fruit & yogurt, etc). I have not been in an IHOP for a while, but I'm too old to eat like that now 😊😊
No, there is definitely a somewhat standard “full breakfast” served at American restaurants. Each restaurant has their own name for it but there is a standard formula that most of them follow, something like eggs/bacon (or sausage or ham)/hash browns/toast.
If you ask for beans for breakfast, everyone will look at you weird, and the only way we have tomatoes for breakfast is if they are diced and in an omelette. Baked beans are often had in the summer with hot dogs and mac & cheese.
French toast is yummy and I make a great version. Bread soaked in eggs, fried, turn over, sprinkle cinnamon sugar, fry. Sprinkle powdered sugar and add syrup. Another American food you will fall in love with.
Blueberry pancakes with regular syrup is amazing. French toast is not plain toast. It is battered and cooked with cinnamon. It is delicious with syrup and bacon is also good. I put syrup on sausage too. And seriously IHOP is drunk food. They are open really early into the morning so a lot of people get drunk and go early in the morning. It is not the best food but it is good and again when you are drunk it tastes fantastic.
I get either cinnamon roll pancakes, tres leches pancakes, or French toast. I usually just do a very light drizzle of the butter pecan syrup. Legendary
French toast is what I think you call Eggy Bread in the U.K....the flavors of syrup at IHOP are, regular, butter pecan, strawberry and blueberry. People here go to IHOP any time of day...I really like the food there.
We have most components of an "English" breakfast - without the beans and the black pudding (or whatever that nasty stuff is called). Seldom have tomatoes. The only time I've seen mushrooms is if you get an omelette with cheese, mushrooms, ham, etc. Those are hash brown potatoes you couldn't identify. They are grated potatoes with seasonings and pan fried until crisp - you'd like them! I prefer plain buttermilk pancakes with lots of butter and maple syrup.
Tabasco is an American brand of hot sauce made from tabasco peppers, vinegar and salt. It is produced by McIlhenny Company of Avery Island in south Louisiana, having been created over 150 years ago by Edmund McIlhenny.[1] Although tabasco peppers were initially grown only on Avery Island, they are now primarily cultivated in Central America, South America and Africa.[2] The Tabasco sauce brand also has multiple varieties including the original red sauce, habanero, chipotle, sriracha and Trinidad Moruga scorpion. Tabasco products are sold in more than 195 countries and territories, and packaged in 36 languages and dialects. It is my personal favorite hot sauce.
Prunes are dried plums, but they're usually only eaten if you have an irregular digestive system and need more fiber. Don't eat prunes like raisins or you might be staying in the toilet often and for a while. :)
Normally with those specialty Pancakes I don’t use syrup because they’re already sweet. My go to Pancake at IHOP is the NY Cheesecake and I’ll occasionally use a very small amount of strawberry syrup.
IHOP has ruined me for other pancakes. I keep frozen blueberries in my freezer at all times so I can put them into my pancake batter. There's always maple syrup and blueberry syrup in this house. Damn you, IHOP!
Big cities have British restaurants. Near where I live in So Cal there is a British restaurant in Santa Monica and San Diego. They even have tea time. 🫖
"english breakfast" isn't really a thing here. the equivalent (for me) would be : fried eggs hash browns wheat/sourdough toast huevos rancheros fried ham steak fruit cup cheesy Grits with crumbled bacon and red-eye gravy chicken fried steak Biscuits and cream Gravy (with sausage) pickled hot peppers steel-cut oatmeal or Grits with butter, cream; and sorghum, molasses, or sugar johnnycakes/hoecakes/pancakes/waffles with butter and maple syrup black coffee juice (spicy tomato, fruit, or a V-8)
My favorite pancakes are plain pancakes with various syrups. I prefer crisp bacon with my pancakes. Second to pancakes is French toast- which is thick bread(TexasToast) dipped several times in egg batter and fried in a little oil until edges are crispy and surface is lightly browned, making sure the egg is done. I like a little maple syrup on this or powdered sugar (not both for me although some people like that). Again I like bacon. And yes coffee-the more the better. We frequently have two or three pots of coffee. It is great. You can go to IHOP anytime. They have lunches and dinners too The very best pancakes are the ones you make at home. Not from a mix but from a real pancake recipe with real Vermont maple syrup. With bacon and coffee. I love watching and listening to you, too. Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA
it's hard to find a full English breakfast in the region I live in but not unheard of. though I typically skip breakfast, seems to be a pretty common thing to do where I live. IHop is for that 4th meal itch btw that's French toast. you throw stale bread into a batter of egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and little bit of milk. then cook it on both sides evenly. creates a fluffy cake-like heaven. it cheep and easy and good af
You can't get a full English breakfast in the US period except maybe at a British restaurant (Which I've never seen in my life) Americans don't make beans that poorly, cook bacon so halfway or have blood sausage available. It would go out of business within a year.

@@wittsullivan8130 I live in Cali and never had a Waffle House, but we were a 24 hour place off the freeway, a block away from a bar, and a block away from a high school, so we were usually the first choice for a lot of people lol. I will say though I used to give discounts and shit like that, but we had one of the corporate offices near us and they put a stop to that my third year of working there, the only discounts allowed were police, firemen, and seniors. I lied half the time to give it to paramedics, military and etc too.
@@Tke When I worked at Academy Sports, across the street from one of our Waffle Houses, they would give me a discount if I was wearing my polo from work. Waffle House also give discounts to police, firefighters, EMT's, and veterans. I think it's really funny that the Waffle House has a weather division, if the Waffle House in your town closes, it's bad, get out. :) We had a massive winter storm back in '94 that shut the power off for most of the area from fallen trees and power lines from the frozen ice for weeks for some people, hours for others. My fiance and her brother went to Waffle House because they were the only place open. They use gas on their flat tops, but electric waffle irons, they almost closed. My fiance's brother talked the cooks into making pancakes on their griddle and saved the day because they could use all their prepared batter. :)
Minus the black pudding.
@@MonsterGaming-rh7sb some places I’ve seen do carry it, but it’s more expensive and probably depends where you’re living.
Most people go to IHOP during the day! Especially on Saturday n Sunday mornings! There’s a waiting list on those two days
No, we do not have an English breakfast. Most Americans would not eat beans for breakfast. Tabasco sauce is hot sauce. An American breakfast would be eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, toast and hash brown potatoes.
"What is this?" That's hash browns - grated potatoes that are fried
American breakfast, classic, Eggs, bacon, hash browns, Ham with pancakes on the side with maple syrup.
Buttermilk blueberry pancakes is my go to pancakes made from scratch.
French Toast is bread dipped in eggs, cinnamon maybe some nutmeg, and then fried
those are hash browns. Take a potato and shed it then throw on the grill and make em crispy. grapes become raisins and plums become prunes
IHOP has Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner items
A lot of syrup is a must due to the fact the pancakes soak up the syrup quickly. Usually you have to add more halfway through since dry pancakes are nasty.
Tabasco sauce is fermented red pepper/vinegar sauce. The various syrups at a pancake house are imitation maple and few fruit flavors, like blueberry.
We have the ingredients for full English breakfasts but its not what youd get ordering a full breakfast here. Where I'm from it's usually ham or sausage, bacon, fruit salad, hash potatoes or roasted potatoes, toast, biscuits or a muffin, french toast or pancakes (these can come a variety of ways), and eggs cooked to your choice (how you like them) with coffee, milk or juice.
Tobasco is a tangy hot sauce.
Prunes are a fiber fruit.
Prunes come from dried Plums
@@webbtrekker534 yes
We have our own version (numerous,, in fact) of big breakfast. Most British/Irish pubs in the United States will offer some version of a full British breakfast on their menu, but its typically not on a standard American restaurant
It's not a dessert place, it's a breakfast place.
If it's got that much sugar in it. it's dessert. With the syrup (and I believe IHOP puts sugar in their pancake batter too) those plates absolutely had as much sugar as you'd find in a bowl of ice cream.
@@wow_horac4663 Even *regular* pancakes have sugar in them. Case in point, the toaster waffles I bought at the store yesterday have 1 gram of sugar in them (each one. Multiply by 24, that's 24 grams of sugar.) Are you going to tell me that 1 gram of sugar per waffle makes them dessert? No, they are a _breakfast_ food. And by the way, IHOP has a sugar-free syrup, but you have to request it.
@@SpearM3064 So from IHOP's nutrition menu. The lowest sugar content pancakes they have is the original buttermilk pancakes. The menu item shows the 3 pancake menu item has 11 grams of sugar and if you check the ingredients (in the more info link) sugar is listed. According to the nutrition facts this is before adding syrup. individually that would be 3.6 grams per pancake which isn't terrible if you're just eating one, but I didn't see an option to get just one pancake. Maybe the al e carte menu.
For reference 1 scoop of Ice cream (1/2 cup) has 14 grams of sugar.
Also, while many pancake mixes have sugar in them not all do. For example Jiffy baking mix has a pancake recipe on the box that include usually egg, milk/water, and oil/butter.
So yes, you are eating as much sugar as a desert for breakfast regardless of what terms you use to describe the meal. Honestly if you take the time to see just how much sugar people are ingesting every day I think it's clear why our country has such a big obesity and diabetes problem.
The daily sugar recommendation for Men is 39 grams and for women 25 grams. I personally think that's still a bit to high but in this meal you're basically eating half of the recommendation before you put a topping on.
IHOP isn't just breakfast food which is why they are open 24 hours. Like Waffle House, they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner items all day, every day but unlike fast food restaurants, if you want breakfast for dinner, you can get breakfast foods for dinner at IHOP or Waffle House :). French toast isn't just toast. It's bread soaked in an egg mixture with cinnamon, milk, and vanilla then pan fried in butter like you would a pancake, sometimes sprinkled with what you'd call Icing sugar and eaten with syrup or berries, etc. Prunes are a specific variety of plums that are dried but they're not dried out like raisins. They are good for when you need a little help in going to the bathroom, lol, but they are very nutritious.
I love pancakes more than waffles. But I much more like French Toast over pancakes, if that makes sense. On coffee, you can goto some restaraunts and order just coffee. They will give you a coffee pot and me I call it the bottomless coffee pot. For I am a Coffee drinker and I drink a lot of coffee. So, I never once ran out of Coffee with one of those coffee pots. I have tried my best and never succeeded in doing so.
Prunes are from plums the way raisins are from grapes.
I love your reaction videos! You actually REACT, emotionally and energetically. Many "reaction" video content creators simply discuss their opinions of the video cerebrally, as if they were discussing chemical theories in university science class. No British stiff upper lip for you. I love it.
It's not just toast. French toast is bread battered in an egg mixture, and pan fried. Then with the toppings on it. It definitely doesn't taste like toast.
OMG. I grew up going to IHOP. On the weekends or very early morning (midnight or later) after a long road trip home. I lived for the choice of the 4 syrups. Sure, there's maple, but my favorite was the blueberry syrup. Or the strawberry syrup. Later I grew to like the Boysenberry. I also started to enjoy the pancakes with apple cinnamon compote and whipped cream on it. The pancakes are also much better quality than McDonald's. As is much of the rest of their food.
Omelets have different ingredients mixed into the eggs. I like bacon bits, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes mixed in.
Waffles with Fried Chicken!
The american version of a full english would probably be eggs, hash browns or fried potatoes, sausage, bacon, and a side of pancakes, waffles, or french toast. Thats definitely a common order at a diner or breakfast place. My go to for sure.
Any sit-down restaurant in the US will constantly refill your coffee at no additional charge. Servers circulate the dining rooms and refill constantly. A quarter of my coffee is made up of half and half so I usually cover my coffee so they don't just fill it up with fresh piping hot Joe. Favorite Pancakes are only available in the autumn at IHOP. Pumpkin Pancakes with extra whipped cream. No butter or syrup is necessary- just put whipped cream on all layers and let it melt into them. Tastes like the best Pumpkin pie.
My favorite pancake are Swedish Pancakes. These are essentially a crape, rolled up and served with lingonberry butter and compote and often sprinkled with powered sugar and then maple syrup poured over. I have the powered sugar left off, too sweet. Coming from a Swedish/Finish family I grew up on these.
It’s a pancake waffle and lots other things. Lots of different syrups -love raspberry syrup
The menu items change monthly. My favorite is steak tips (steak, mushrooms and onions), two eggs, hashbrowns three pancakes and coffee ;-)
My favorite thing to eat at IHOP is their original pancakes with the butter and original syrup served hot. I always ask the servers to warm up the syrup and most of the time they will. So good.
Waffles, French toast, and then pancakes for me at least. And if I have to choose what to put on my pancakes it would be just peanut butter. Sometimes I do add Strawberry jelly/jam to them too and make them PB & J pancakes but I prefer just PB.
you can get just about anything you want here .... most "diners" will make you whatever you want in an omlet (eggs with whatever fried together) and it usually comes with fried potatoes, bacon or sausage, and toast
Some people also call french toast egg bread or eggy bread. It is my fave over pancakes and waffles.
1) canada has baseball teams 2) it was billed as the series to decide the best teams in the world from two different leagues.
3) the pancakes are international. You can sell people on somethu g in America all the time if tou tell them it is from Europe or Japan or something
to answer your initial question, waffles hands down! Can get all the syrup in the lil waffle pockets yum yum
1) I like both waffles and pancakes, they’re basically the same ingredients. I like them with butter and powdered sugar, or fruit and whipped cream. I also like chocolate chip pancakes.
2) They have all kinds of breakfast food. Those are not all maple syrup, which I can’t stand.
3) Tabasco is hot sauce.
4) Prunes are dried plums.
5) French toast is thick slices of bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and cinnamon; then fried on a griddle.
Pancakes! Butter, syrup. I sometimes have fruit as well. French toast is also PHENOMENAL!
Most breakfast restaurants have a "classic" breakfast on their menu. It consists of 2 eggs made to order (scrambled, over easy, or sunny side up), hash browns ( shredded or "hashed" potatoes fried to brown it) a choice of bacon or sausage, and a choice of toast or a pancake. That is usually my go-to if I don't know what I want. French toast is toast dipped in egg batter, then fried on a pan. It goes good with syrup. McDonald's pancakes are not even close to regular pancakes. I consider IHOP a middle of the road restaurant, not going to be outstanding, just average. It is good for big families, like Denny's. Plus more seating room than Waffle House.
There's country ham and "ham". Country Ham is more natural, sliced off an actual ham. Processed ham is closer to Spam. I prefer country ham (even though it is saltier). I love fried hashbrowns (shredded potatoes cooked on a flat top). I haven't been to iHop since during Covid, but before Covid it was common for them to have small pitchers of maple syrup, butter pecan syrup, strawberry syrup, and blueberry syrup, sometimes peach. iHop leaves the coffee pot with you, other places do, too, even leaving a pitcher of sweet tea so you can serve yourself. We have free refills for regular drinks like soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Specialty drinks, like fruit flavored teas are usually sold by the glass.
For most Americans, beans for breakfast is madness.
To make french toast you dip bread into egg yolk then fry it on the stove until it’s golden brown. You can put brown sugar on but syrup is a must.
Prunes are dried plums. Like raisins with plums instead of grapes.
Waffles, then French toast and then pancakes. My preference at least 😊
French Toast is bread dipped into scrambled eggs then fried with powdered sugar and topped with syrup
The ingenuity of the pancake sandwich🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watched this now because I just spent a week without A/C, and I live in Arizona, where the day highs were between 110-116F each day! So, we went out to IHop for our meal 3 days in a row. I always have a breakfast meal, and my wife likes salads and shrimp and chicken. The first day I had 2 fried eggs, 4 slices of bacon, a thick French toast, and 2 pancakes. I also ordered a side order of hash brown potatoes.Look at the size of the French toast! It was so much food, I gave the second pancake to my wife, who had 5 shrimps and a salad. The next day I had the senior Sunrise meal - 2 eggs, 2 bacon, hash brown potatoes, and toast. Their food is always very good! We did not have any waffles this time.The 'normal' American breakfast is bacon (or sausage) and eggs and toast, usually with orange juice. During the War, the morning of a landing was steak and eggs! In the Pacific War, there were like over 50amphibious landings!
My favorite topping for pancakes and French toast is peanut butter, grape jelly and maple syrup. Nothing better.
IHOP was the place to go after the club closes or breakfast. We also keep this kind of meal to the weekends. A typical weekday breakfast is lighter (cereal, fruit & yogurt, etc). I have not been in an IHOP for a while, but I'm too old to eat like that now 😊😊
Tabasco = spoce/kick
There really is no "American breakfast." You just order as few or many different things as you want.
No, there is definitely a somewhat standard “full breakfast” served at American restaurants. Each restaurant has their own name for it but there is a standard formula that most of them follow, something like eggs/bacon (or sausage or ham)/hash browns/toast.
I love that nurse's channel! He's hilarious!
Definitely waffles! They hold syrup in the pockets better lol
French toast, waffles, and pancakes with melted butter and my breakfast meat crumbled on top. That's usually bacon or sausage with maple syrup.
If you ask for beans for breakfast, everyone will look at you weird, and the only way we have tomatoes for breakfast is if they are diced and in an omelette. Baked beans are often had in the summer with hot dogs and mac & cheese.
French toast is yummy and I make a great version. Bread soaked in eggs, fried, turn over, sprinkle cinnamon sugar, fry. Sprinkle powdered sugar and add syrup. Another American food you will fall in love with.
I prefer blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon with a cup of coffee
prunes are dried plums like raisins are dried grapes.
Blueberry pancakes with regular syrup is amazing. French toast is not plain toast. It is battered and cooked with cinnamon. It is delicious with syrup and bacon is also good. I put syrup on sausage too. And seriously IHOP is drunk food. They are open really early into the morning so a lot of people get drunk and go early in the morning. It is not the best food but it is good and again when you are drunk it tastes fantastic.
I get either cinnamon roll pancakes, tres leches pancakes, or French toast. I usually just do a very light drizzle of the butter pecan syrup. Legendary
French toast is what I think you call Eggy Bread in the U.K....the flavors of syrup at IHOP are, regular, butter pecan, strawberry and blueberry. People here go to IHOP any time of day...I really like the food there.
Strawberry banana pancakes are the best with actual slices of strawberry and bananas on top with strawberry syrup
French toast is not regular toast. It has cinnamon and is more like pancakes.
We have most components of an "English" breakfast - without the beans and the black pudding (or whatever that nasty stuff is called). Seldom have tomatoes. The only time I've seen mushrooms is if you get an omelette with cheese, mushrooms, ham, etc. Those are hash brown potatoes you couldn't identify. They are grated potatoes with seasonings and pan fried until crisp - you'd like them! I prefer plain buttermilk pancakes with lots of butter and maple syrup.
Tabasco is an American brand of hot sauce made from tabasco peppers, vinegar and salt. It is produced by McIlhenny Company of Avery Island in south Louisiana, having been created over 150 years ago by Edmund McIlhenny.[1] Although tabasco peppers were initially grown only on Avery Island, they are now primarily cultivated in Central America, South America and Africa.[2] The Tabasco sauce brand also has multiple varieties including the original red sauce, habanero, chipotle, sriracha and Trinidad Moruga scorpion. Tabasco products are sold in more than 195 countries and territories, and packaged in 36 languages and dialects. It is my personal favorite hot sauce.
Buttermilk pancakes or buckwheat cakes w/ butter and maple syrup w/ a side of eggs.
8:02 😂 his reaction when he flipped the pancake over. Im actually dying of laughter...lol
(Dont send help, i dont have insurance. ^.^)
To be fair, I've never thought of this either. The man's a genius. Lol
Prunes are dried plums, but they're usually only eaten if you have an irregular digestive system and need more fiber. Don't eat prunes like raisins or you might be staying in the toilet often and for a while. :)
Strawberry waffles with whipped cream are the best!!!
I love French toast. It’s my favorite. Dude had that all wrong. You eat pancakes, waffles & French toast first while they are still hot.
Restaurants will refill the coffee pot too. For free!
Here in Connecticut we pour maple syrup on our pancakes and french toast, yum!
Normally with those specialty Pancakes I don’t use syrup because they’re already sweet. My go to Pancake at IHOP is the NY Cheesecake and I’ll occasionally use a very small amount of strawberry syrup.
IHOP has ruined me for other pancakes. I keep frozen blueberries in my freezer at all times so I can put them into my pancake batter. There's always maple syrup and blueberry syrup in this house. Damn you, IHOP!
Big cities have British restaurants. Near where I live in So Cal there is a British restaurant in Santa Monica and San Diego. They even have tea time. 🫖
Oooooo Pancakes!!!!
Love this place! Swedish Pancakes IHOP style, yummy! Or Hot Fudge Ice Cream Sundae! Pancakes with Blueberry syrup! ♡
Waffles every time! One of my fav dishes is chicken and waffles.
I make my own. Blueberry is my favorite with homemade blueberry syrup. I told you I am a good cook.
IHOP is 24/7
"english breakfast" isn't really a thing here.
the equivalent (for me) would be :
fried eggs
hash browns
wheat/sourdough toast
huevos rancheros
fried ham steak
fruit cup
cheesy Grits with crumbled bacon and red-eye gravy
chicken fried steak
Biscuits and cream Gravy (with sausage)
pickled hot peppers
steel-cut oatmeal or Grits with butter, cream; and sorghum, molasses, or sugar
johnnycakes/hoecakes/pancakes/waffles with butter and maple syrup
black coffee
juice (spicy tomato, fruit, or a V-8)
Go to: Plain pancake w/maple syrup and butter.
Prunes are dried plums. It’s part of the four P that help you car a bowel movement. Lol
English breakfast we can in certain restaurants bringing UK and Irish food over
My favorite pancakes are plain pancakes with various syrups. I prefer crisp bacon with my pancakes. Second to pancakes is French toast- which is thick bread(TexasToast) dipped several times in egg batter and fried in a little oil until edges are crispy and surface is lightly browned, making sure the egg is done. I like a little maple syrup on this or powdered sugar (not both for me although some people like that). Again I like bacon. And yes coffee-the more the better. We frequently have two or three pots of coffee. It is great. You can go to IHOP anytime. They have lunches and dinners too The very best pancakes are the ones you make at home. Not from a mix but from a real pancake recipe with real Vermont maple syrup. With bacon and coffee. I love watching and listening to you, too. Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA
it's hard to find a full English breakfast in the region I live in but not unheard of. though I typically skip breakfast, seems to be a pretty common thing to do where I live. IHop is for that 4th meal itch
btw that's French toast. you throw stale bread into a batter of egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and little bit of milk. then cook it on both sides evenly. creates a fluffy cake-like heaven. it cheep and easy and good af
You can't get a full English breakfast in the US period except maybe at a British restaurant (Which I've never seen in my life) Americans don't make beans that poorly, cook bacon so halfway or have blood sausage available. It would go out of business within a year.
@@nullakjg767 There are a dozen restaurants that serve a full english breakfast in my neighborhood. Most places will make it for you even if it isn't on the menu officially.
I'm not sure, but I think Brits call French Toast "Eggy Toast".
