My question is: What the Hell is a Belgian waffle and why have they replaced good ol' American waffles and why the heck can't I find one single new American waffle patterned waffle iron!??
Seriously, is a Belgian waffle a different animal, recipe wise, from the classic American waffle (CAW) and so requires the different waffle pattern? Or is it just some sort of foo-foo marketing ploy to wow red-state'rs?
"Ooooh! Edgar ...let's take a chance and have Belgian waffles"!
I just want plain ol' egg and oil and flour (Bisquick if need be!) and buttermilk waffles. Seems like the only remnant of CAW's is those atrocious waffle facsimilies in the freezer case at the supermarket. In fact, I don't know who's done more to kill off CAW's, Belgium or Eggo. Grrrrrr......
The only thing I want from Belgium is beer!! 😉
I have had a Belgian waffle iron for years and no one in my household makes a fancier batter for it than what we'd make in a regular waffle iron.

I like how it holds more butter & syrup. YUM! 🙂

I love to pile on fresh sliced strawberries and a bit of whipped cream myself. I never understood people's affinity for syrup! lol
Speaking of waffles....there's a waffle house just outside of Coos Bay, Oregon. Tiny place in a tiny place...but my oh my, they had the best waffles I've ever had in a restaurant! Light, tender, crisp, and piled with berries grown locally. Wow. I'd almost consider moving there just to get those waffles every Sunday....
