Pancakes AND sausages? NO!

[Charlee]

Bacon and maple syrup I'm fine with but eggs, potatoes etc with syrup... I will definitely be asking for separate plates this year

[disneytrio]

Always ask for mine separate, it's never been a problem!

I always say when in Rome (or the US in this case) You need to try a dish of wallpaper paste (sorry grits) on the side as well 😀

[olgaandcoda]

Just stick to grits, you cant go wrong with them!

I cant put bacon near maple syrup, pancakes yes, not with bacon! I don't even like apple sauce with pork here.

I'm the same! Before I went to the US the thought of pancakes with bacon or sausage filled me with horror. Now I'm hooked but... the syrup NEVER touches the sausages/bacon (you put the syrup on yourself).

Love maple syrup with bacon... even at home now I have maple syrup on my bacon on toast!

Has anyone been brave enough to ask for the sweet and savoury items to be served separately and if so how well did that go for you? Are most places used to tourists and our funny ways and happy to oblige?

And while I'm at it, what is that round white blob (like a little scoop of ice cream, but not) I keep seeing on pancakes, toast, and even steak? Is it butter?

I'm the same... pancakes have to be on a different plate,sausage bacon and eggs on the same plate as pancakes is a big no no for me,it's just wrong.

LI don't mind at all if everything is on the same plate, but I only put syrup on the pancakes or French toast, not on the meat. Yum, syrup and pancakes

My wife was the same and now she enjoys a McD's breakfast. Don't be afraid of trying new things.
