IMHO: Montana Rejects State Pancake

Well, Eli Tickner, age 15, you got your wish. The huckleberry pancake will not rise to the esteemed, golden brown level of the Official Pancake of the state of Montana. The Senate Agricultural Committee recently voted 6-3 to table House Bill 232, effectively flattening the chances for the Huckleberry Pancake to take its rightful place in the Flapjack Hall of Fame. It was a disappointing outcome that brought tears to schoolchildren throughout the state, and sent a chill through the ranks of short order cooks everywhere. Big Syrup is in an uproar, and we haven’t even heard yet from the waffle lobby/Bob Wire, New West. More here.

Question: Pancakes? Or waffles?
