If you take your coffee without sugar or your pancakes without syrup,

Pancakes exist to allow multiple layers of syrup to float above the plate, thus maximizing the plate's syrup capacity. Similarly, waffles have intented squares on them to maximize tha amount of butter and syrup held.

I like pancakes with only butter, no syrup ... ever.

I think it only has to do with whether you prefer sweet or savory items, not your ancestry. I would rather sit down to a well cooked steak than a ice crean sundae.

Some people are kike that. :)
