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.

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.

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

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.
