NY Times Buttermilk Pancakes
They were yummy- light and airy. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Then whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter. Cook the pancakes over medium heat on a grill pan sprayed with cooking spray. Use about 1/3 cup batter for each pancake and cook 3 or 4 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. Keep warm in a 200 degree oven if you’re collecting pancakes to feed a crowd.
Order up a nice stack of pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheese, and some sausage. When the food arrives, spread the butter on the pancakes, or scrape if off, depending on how decadent you feel. Slice all the pancakes into bite-sized pieces, then do the same for the eggs and the sausage.
Dump everything together and mix thoroughly. Now here comes the revenge part. Make eye contact with the syrup-slatherer you wish to gross out. They're probably already watching you with some trepidation. Grab your table's ketchup bottle, give it a good shake, and squeeze ketchup aaaaall over the pile on your plate.
Show your enjoyment of this activity by catching the last drip of ketchup with your finger and licking it off. Then dig in, and relish in the cheesy, eggy, sweet goodness of your creation. Your syrupy audience will (hopefully) be shocked by your unorthodox use of condiments, and you will be strong in the knowledge that you have a breakfast habit that weirds people out as much as you're weirded out by syrup.
And even if nobody notices, you're still going to have a great meal. I will always hate maple syrup. I don't think I'll let my kids have it, at least not in my presence, because I wouldn't be able to stand them touching me with their sticky fingers. I've relaxed the ban on honey and molasses a little, enough to enjoy honey-mustard sauce and to use molasses to bake, but that's about it. I have found, through struggle and experimentation, my place in the breakfast-food world.
It's a strong place, and a yummy one, but I'm all alone in it.

I can't eat it either obviously, that idea freaks me out and sends me into a panic. I've been revolted by syrup since I was a child. A similar food to me is packaged/proceeded flavored oatmeal - the kind with brown sugar, as it has a scent vaguely reminiscent of syrup when cooked, and also turns my stomach.
Ian, while the ladies first introduced me to breakfast horror, no northern friend of mine has ever managed to tempt me with the "real stuff" either. No one I know understands how much I truly despise pancake syrup. A relative brought me pancakes when I was sick once, and slathered them in the crap.
You'll be pleased to know that Mrs. Butterworth (nor Aunt Jemima) isn't maple syrup, rather it's sugar with artificial flavouring. Bianca and Angela, welcome to HAMS! Come on in, the pancakes are warm and syrup-free! My husband just said he'd never met anyone besides me who hates maple syrup. Your page was the first I found. Hello. I was just on the internet, trying to find out if anyone else hated the smell of maple syrup like I do. I am glad to have read your story.
