Stan, you should have referenced the pizza photo instead! Pancakes topped
with scrambled eggs and a side of catsup is almost revolting, and certainly
something I could not eat.

In fact, I cannot even eat pancakes and eggs at the same meal. :-)

The pizza looks delicious, and the trip looks like it was a lot of fun!

Nice photos!!!!
What is Wildwood, a sort of acquatic park?
I've seen those *french fries*, goood! I ate them in Geat Britain long time
ago.
They are more crispy if you cut them in this way!!!
I like them very much, and I bought a special utensil to make potatoes like
this.
Also the Pizza seems very good: one "margherita" and one with champignon
mashrooms ))

The plate contains scrambled eggs on top of pancakes with ketchup on the
side and bacon nestled next to the eggs. I'm with Wayne; I don't care to
have eggs and pancakes on the same plate, especially if there's also ketchup
on the plate.

So scrambled eggs look like that? They seem someway creamy, while
I espected scrambled eggs to be more cooked.
Fine, gotta try 'em.

Depending on how long they are cooked, scrambled eggs can vary in
consistency from a creamy mass to rock hard lumps. I prefer the former.
You've never had scrambled eggs?

Maybe I had them without knowing: "uova strapazzate" is just eggs
quickly mixed in a dish with some salt, then fried in a skillet
with butter. Sure if I cook them less I can get them creamy.
Is this similar to "scrambled eggs"?

For me, I prefer my eggs to be served separately from pancakes, but this
restaurant economizes by serving them on the same plate. That's okay,
but it is not my preference. Either way, I eat the eggs and bacon
first. The ketchup is for the eggs. The pancakes received a liberal dose
of syrup after the eggs were deposited into my tummy!

You have never seen scrambled eggs before? That's strange. Are you not
from America? Scrambled eggs are a very popular breakfast dish here in
the states.

Yes. Most commonly, scrambled eggs are made as you described, but they
are usually stirred while they are cooked and butter is usually added to
the pan before the eggs begin to cook. The butter helps to prevent the
eggs from sticking to the pan.

In upper tier restaurants, scrambled eggs may be made by adding a bit of
cream or water to the eggs first and then slowly cooked over a double
boiler (like melting chocolate). This cooking method results in very
creamy scrambled eggs.

The eggs in my photo were not dry at all, but they also were not too
creamy. I prefer my scrambled eggs to be somewhere between very creamy
and very dry. Some people prefer their scrambled eggs to be very dry,
some prefer them very creamy. It is a matter of personal taste.

The pizza was indeed delicious. Why can't you eat eggs and pancakes in
the same meal? In my area, eating the two together is very common. In
fact, what I ordered was the $3.99 breakfast special. Eggs, bacon, and
pancakes.

Wildwood is a beach resort in New Jersey that's very popular with
families due to its huge and free beach and its long boardwalk. The
boardwalk has three or for piers along it with amusements and water
rides and lots of inexpensive restaurants and shops. Wildwood gets
packed during the summer months. During the winter months, Wildwood is
nearly deserted. Many of the shops along the boardwalk close in late
October and open again in April.

Wildwood is located near the southern end of New Jersey just above Cape
May. Wildwood is a popular vacation spot for people all along the east
coast of the United States and Canada. For some reason, Wildwood is very
popular with people from Quebec, Canada. Any time during the summer, you
can find many cars in Wildwood with Quebec license plates on them.

Wildwood is also popular with high school kids during the summer. There
is some sort of agency in Europe who arranges for European teenagers to
come to Wildwood to work (and have fun) during the summer months. Many
of the service workers at hotels, stores, and restaurants are kids from
Europe. The girl who waited on me at the restaurant where I ate that
breakfast was from somewhere in Eastern Europe. She had a thick accent.
The guy who served my buddy and me that pizza was from England, if I
remember correctly.

Breakfast is a very popular meal to eat out there in Wildwood. Many of
the hotel rooms have small kitchens, but there are several restaurants
there that are open only during the mornings to serve breakfast. For
some reason, pancakes in some of the Wildwood restaurants are lighter
and more fluffy than anywhere else I have tried. I like to eat two or
three pancakes for breakfast when I am there, then rent a bike and ride
it for an hour or two. Bike riding is permitted on the boardwalk each
morning until 11:00am. You can typically rent a bike for $5 an hour. I
usually ride the five miles or so length of the boardwalk, then keep
going for another mile or two further in each direction, depending on
how much stamina and time I have and how hot the weather is. Biking is a
great way to burn off the fattening breakfast.

On the day I ate that breakfast, I got a late start so I biked only for
one hour. The following day, I biked longer.

Eating the two together is very common here as well. I just don't like it.
I find that, for me, each distracts from the other. I love both an egg
breakfast and a pancake breakfast, but at different times.

I visited Italy a few years ago. I toured around there for three weeks
and I have a fantastic time. I didn't know that scrambled eggs were not
that common there.

For a moment, I thought something like that too... like maybe they put a
little too much butter on top of the pancakes! You know those places the
dump a giant ice cream scoop sized mound of butter on top... I guess what
amazes me even more is the number of people I've seen that consume that much
butter in one sitting!

Stan,
Looks like it was a wonderful trip. I *LOVE* amusement
parks and the wilder the rides the better. Looks like
they had some great rides. The food also looks good but
what's with the eggs on top of the pancake. Yuck! The
bacon okay but I wouldn't want my eggs touching my pancakes
and vice versa. And if the syrup touched the eggs that
would be even worse. I hope Nancy didn't look. It would
really have freaked her out. :-)

I didn't realize that was ketchup - I thought it looked like
blueberry jam or something (photos show up really dark on
my monitor for some reason). I should have *KNOWN* if it was
Stan then ketchup would be involved. Well, I guess ketchup
touching my pancakes is even more revolting that syrup touching
my eggs. :-)

HEY!!!! You are flat out confusing me with someone else. I do not want
refried beans touching anything else and I don't want maple syrup on my
bacon. Otherwise, my food touches all the time.

I'm with you boys. I don't like to mix maple syrup that I put on my
pancakes with my scrambled eggs. And I can't even imagine putting ketchup
on the SEs -- tabasco, yes, ketchup, no. But considering Stan puts ketchup
on everything including blueberry muffins ... <g> Then again, who am I to
say? I don't like ice cream and cake on the same plate! (the ice cream
makes the cake mushy ... yuck!)

Scrambled eggs with a little salt, fresh ground pepper, and hot sauce
are quite tasty!

I don't like pancake syrup with my eggs either. That's why, when I am
served eggs and pancakes on the same plate, I eat the eggs before I eat
the pancakes.

The picture doesn't do those eggs justice. They were firm, but not dry.

(smile) Stan, you still have a chance to get the bacon away from the
maple syrup. I was okay, I was more startled by the eggs on top
of the pancakes. New one on me.

Your pictures are quite good, by the way.

But Stan - no Taylor Pork Roll in sight! That's my excuse for going to
Wildwood. You'll probably hear from Nancy on that one, too.

It looks as though I'm different from others - I like my pancakes with
plenty of butter and syrup and *then* topped with a fried egg so the yolk
runs into the pancakes. Yum.

Nancy,

Thanks for the kind words regarding my photos.

As for the way my breakfast was served, I am not sure, but I think that
was the first time I have ever been served bacon, eggs, and pancakes on
a single plate at a restaurant. Than again, I rarely order eggs and
pancakes in the same meal, but it was the special that day, so I
figured, what the hell.

The pancakes and ketchup never came into contact with one another ... at
least not on the plate or my eating utensils!

You can find plenty of recipes for pancakes by doing a google search. If
Pancakes are also referred to as flapjacks or griddle cakes in some
regions of the United States. There are also many variations on pancakes
such as buckwheat pancakes, potato pancakes, and butter milk pancakes.
Pancakes can also be prepared with different toppings or fillings such
as banana, pecans, and blueberries. Pancakes are very similar to what
the French call a crepe, except pancakes are thicker and they take a
little longer to cook. In most grocery stores in the states, you can
find several brands of boxed pancake mix that has all the dry
ingredients mixed together and you just add egg and/or milk or water,
stir up the batter, and cook them on a griddle or fry pan in some
butter. Frozen pancakes are also readily available in grocery stores,
although they usually do not taste good.

Here is a pancake recipe that's very typical in the states:
http://www.cooksrecipes.com/breakfas...es_recipe.html

Pancakes are usually served in a stack of three or four with a small
amount of butter on top of the stack. Maple syrup is poured over the
pancakes too. I have no idea if something similar is available in Italy,
but some other European countries have their own version of pancakes,
such as the Germans and Dutch. Jewish cuisine also has something called
latkes which are potato pancakes with finely diced onion in them and
fried in chicken fat (called schmaltz).

> But where do you live? Far from wildwood?

I live in New Jersey about a 90 minute drive northwest of Wildwood. I
like to visit Wildwood every once in a while, just to relax and have fun.
I usually go with at least one friend. Normally, when I go to Wildwood, I
stay for free in a friend's condo that's located right across from the
ocean. Unfortunately for me, the condo is rented out most of this summer
so I had to pay my own way for accommodations this time.

You're welcome.

Stan,
I've never seen a gull with a dark hood like that. At first glance, I
thought it was a loon! I found a bird identification site and it
looks like a laughing gull. The territory map shows the distribution
is from NJ down the Eastern seaboard and across, which is why I've
never seen one. Most of what I've seen are the white Jonathan
Livingston-type seagulls.

Taylor Pork Roll was on the menu, of course. I am not a fan of it so I
never order it when I eat out. As for your preference of eating an egg
on top of your pancakes, I will pass on that too. Where eggs are
concerned, I only like them scrambled if they are a prominent part of
the meal. I can't stand the idea of sunny side up eggs or poached eggs.
The eggs are just way too slimy when they are served in ways other than
fried or scrambled, but fried tend to be too dry for me.

Yum! I love restaurant pancakes. I make decent pancakes at home, but
they're just not the same as what you can get at a good diner.

Fun pictures, Stan! But what -- no pictures of the Tilt-a-Whirl??

And did you eat at Groff's during your trip? We went to Avalon, NJ last
year w/ my husband's family, and we went to Wildwood for one evening.
Had dinner at Groff's. Pretty simple, basic food. Doubt they've
changed the menu in the last 30-40 years. :-)
Nothing to go out of your way for -- we went there because the family
used to go there on vacations 30-40 years ago.

Think of pancakes as thicker canneloni wraps, or crespelle.
Much thicker.

Instead of just flour, eggs, milk, oil and salt, one adds some type of
leavening, like baking powder...and makes the batter thicker by using more
flour. This results in a thicker pancake.

Crespelle or cannelloni are thin and meant for rolling around a filling, or
used like pasta. Pancakes are meant to be served flat, usually with a sweet
topping, like maple syrup, or fruit compote, and typically for breakfast.

Pancake batter is very similar to the batter for waffles, except you cook it
in a frying pan or flat griddle, rather than a waffle iron.
