      do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?

        They definitely exist here, waffles just come across as quite dessert-coded to us. British Chinese cuisine is its own separate adaptation of Chinese cuisine though, rather than just being American Chinese.

        Some British people enjoy these flavour combos. Not me, though, I consider pineapple a pollutant when on a pizza. No big deal though, I know loads of people enjoy it and fair play to em.

        I love waffles - and these look great. I’d just want them after the meat course.

        Yeah I’m from the Great Lakes region and it’s so weird. I enjoy fried chicken, I dig waffles… even maple syrup on them is fine (though honey is better on chicken, esp truffle or hot honey).

        But putting them together is like basically having double the breading on the chicken, except one half is crispy and the other half is all spongey and wrong. It dilutes the flavor of the chicken, and then why would I ever want a meaty waffle? The sum is far less than the parts IMO.

        You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.

        This just two otherwise regular foods served together.

        Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too

      USAmerican here - I’ve tried that chicken waffle thing twice, and it’s pretty revolting. 1/10 would rather go hungry.

      Tbf, I hate all syrup. Sorry, Canada

        Ah, so you just can’t taste well. What a shame. Disabilities should never be held against anyone, you can’t help an inability to taste.

      Having grown up where gravy was the norm, it hurts every time I see a restaurant serving it without gravy as an option.

        When I moved to California from the Midwest the first time I ordered chicken tenders they asked what sauce. I asked if they had gravy. I was looked at like a demented lunatic. She refused to believe I actually wanted cream gravy for dipping my chicken. I went with the no sauce option since apparently I’m a lunatic.

    I ordered chicken and waffles at a small diner one time, it was my first time trying it. My server gave me half a chicken (literally) that had been deep fried and a pile of waffles that had to be at least 6 inches high. Best $13 I’ve ever spent but I’ve been afraid to order them ever since

        It’s been almost a decade since I’ve been there haha. It’s on the corner of 207 and US1 in St Augustine. Google says it’s a metro diner, which is a local chain. Not sure if it was a metro when I went there but I wish you well if you give it a shot!

    I’ve never done tendies from scratch, but can make a good batch of nuggies with a bit of panko.

    I could never eat meat in the morning as soon as I wake up, I find it very unappealing.

    I guess it’s an acquired taste

      I don’t think breakfast needs to be that immediate? The dish prepared here almost certainly took a minimum of 30, if not 45+ minutes to make, and there’s no indication it was immediately after waking. Breakfast can be a bit later.
