Man oh man… I have not had the pleasure of eating breakfast for dinner in a long time. I am truly happy that I chose to partake in this time honored tradition today.

On my plate I had two chocolate chip pancakes (of course made with Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips), cooked to golden perfection, then with a thin layer of butter on top. To this, I added a larger pad of butter to each of the cakes and then drizzled them in some delicious Grade A Dark Robust maple syrup.

As the sides, I made three Morningstar vegetarian breakfast sausage links and a hash brown patty, both fried to perfection in some quality Irish butter.

It’s not often I have an American style breakfast as my dinner, so without further ado, let me get to the review!

Review

What can I say except that I truly indulged myself today.

The fluffy pancakes paired beautifully with the sweetness of the maple syrup – which is much better than normal syrup – and the salty savoriness of the two side dishes really tied it all together.

Were I to make the dish again, I think I would cut back on the amount of maple syrup I used, because I did think that the end result was a tad on the sweet side.

Otherwise, I think this meal was made to near perfection. The hash brown especially. I fried the patty wonderfully, ensuring a nice even golden brown exterior and a soft and tasty interior. I think next time I should make two of the hash brown patties instead, as I was wishing for a bit more at the end.

One other thing I would like to see the next time I do American breakfast for dinner is a nice glass of OJ. I normally don’t keep orange juice on hand, but my local grocery store is kind enough to sell single serving orange juice bottles for the rare occasion I need it.
