I can see your podcast episode notes! This looks like quite the debate topic – "What is The Better Pancake Toppings." You've got a comprehensive list of 22 contenders ranging from classic (maple syrup, butter) to creative (bacon, lemon) to indulgent (various chocolate options).

Some interesting observations about your list:

**Sweet classics**: Maple syrup, honey, and whipped cream are the traditional favorites

**Fruit options**: You've got fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries) plus banana

**Chocolate lovers**: Multiple chocolate varieties including regular chips, white chocolate, butterscotch, and pumpkin spice chocolate chips, plus chocolate and strawberry sauces and hot fudge

**Wild cards**: Bacon (the sweet/savory combo!), lemon (interesting citrus twist), M&Ms, and walnuts for texture

Are you planning to rank these, have guests debate favorites, or maybe do a blind taste test? The "Fast Food in Moderation" angle is pretty funny given this incredibly long list of pancake toppings!

What's your personal top pick from this list?

I don't know. They could do them ie Hop, but

(05:26):
I don't know. And next I'm gonna talk about it
is maple syrup. Maple Syrup's pretty good, but I like
the low sugar maple syrup. That's just me, but people
like the high sugar like maple syrup. So like we
listen in and we don't judge at all. We don't judge.

(05:47):
I think, like sugar free maple syrup is really good instantly,
Like I do sugar free maple syrup, but I haven't
done it in a long long time. It just depends
on my tail spuds what I like in my opinion,

next I'm gonna talk about it is bananas. I like bananas,

(06:55):
but I don't eat bananas that often no more, because
like they're very high calorie instantly, Like if I have
a banana a day, like I'll be okay for like
a day. In my opinion. It's just like depends on
like how I like bananas now. It's just like bananas

good in my opinion. Cut up some brain crackers, cut
up some chocolate and some marshmallows, like put it in
the pancake batter. That's like s'mores pancakes. Next level in

(09:08):
my opinion. And next I'm gonna talk about as strawberry sauce.
Strawberry sauce on pancakes is actually an elite combo in
my opinion, Like I think it's pretty good in my opinion,

sweet and savory that would be pretty good. And next
Minuta talk about it is a weird combo bacon bacon
like for pancake topping. It isn't sound that horrible. Some
people make bacon pancakes, which is not that horrible. It's

(12:05):
just like it just sounds weird to me in my opinion,
making baked pancakes. I think that sounds super weird in
my opinion. And next to them and I talk about
it is lemon. They do lemon pancakes or something. It's
just like, lemon pancakes don't sound that bad, but it's
just like, does it sound appetizing to eat? But I
