I like both waffles and pancakes.

King's Gambit, French-MonteCarlo Variation, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, Falkbeer CounterGambit, Albin CounterGambit, Dutch Defense, Latvian Gambit, Hammerschlag, Fried Fox and other crazy stuff.

What kind of crepe are you giving us?!?

Waffles: Caro, Nimzo, Queens Gambit, Slav and sometimes the French.

Cheap coffee, wheat toast with strawberry jam.  1. a3

Conclusion after Day Two: 

General overview, need two more days of Data Gathering, I decided the first step towards Scientific Approach is to form a hypothesis

 

Hypothesis: Whether waffles or Pancakes will both favor the sharp Bongcloud Attack, however, when it's illegal to play the Bongcloud, Pancakes favor e4 lines, Waffles favor d4 lines.

I have not recorded all the data just yet but will soon, because I still need more to draw accurate conclusions.

Regarding toasts, these food are not too scientific therefore cannot be used, but crepes and danishes may.

What of english muffins and crumpets?! Surely science and chess will not neglect those very important breakfast openingsSmile

Yes yes, what of defenses! I am a waffeljner, so I like d4, or I used to before I played the bongcloud all the time! But yes yes, the defenses, no? a waffeljner like Myself prefers a complex positional game to the flat, boring textureless game of a pancake eater.

Crepes are  delicious and represent how solid my moves are (not very).

I make a great almond cinnamon roll with a brioche dough; I like French games with lots of knight windmills.

I'm a waffle man and i'll face your e5 with either 2.Ke2 or 2.f4

Link8523

toaster waffles vienna gambit and whatever defence e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 is.

I am a pancake man and I'll face your f4 with d5 and your Ke2 with Ke7

Blueberry pancakes for me.

My favourites: Ruy Lopez (black and white), Najdorf and Sveshnikov sicilians (black), French (black), Leningrad dutch (black), semi-slav (black and white), 1.d4 (white).

If you just want one defence against 1.e4 and one against 1.d4 it would currently have to be the French and the semi-slav. 1.d4 for white is my favourite first move.
