sava 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Previously, many of the people I worked with liked waffles. Now, not one of my coworkers likes them, quite a few have expressed indifference and some openly hate them. Have times changed? Are Waffless passe? Why am I here? Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 "are waffles passe"!!! Which ones potatoe or sweet? Personally I love a good ol Birs Eye potatoe waffle with fried egg and a good old banger!!! Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Specifically I was referring to belgian waffles, I've never tried a potato waffle Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 It usually takes a while for it to sink in that waffles are not some wonderful rare delicacy but just a kind of stodgy batter thing made beguiling with cream, syrup, and hype. Especially hype - like Belgian beer and chocolate. Potato waffles on the other hand can be pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I like all kinds of waffles. Well, any I remember trying anyway. Have they every been "fashionable"? I like Belgian chocolate too. I've never tried Belgina beer... not missing much? Link to post Share on other sites

js 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Great winter food. Love 'em almost as much as pancakes - with the same toppings too = maple syrup and a good quality vanilla ice-cream. Melted butter and syrup is nice too! So is sugar and lemon!! I'm as enthusiastic about 'em as Cheeseman is about cheese ... well, almost. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I wonder what cheese cheeseman will go for this week in his Weekly thread? I like Waffles too, big thick ones. Nice. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hopefully, Cheeseman will go for an australian or a brie, I will follow up by buying some of the weekly cheese. Exciting times. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 waffles and pancakes are really gluggy and stodgy. i prefer really thin crepes. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I love making blueberry waffles and pancakes for breakfast, ummmmm, yummmmy!! I love Chick-fil-A's waffle fries. Theyre delicious too. Link to post Share on other sites

farquah 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Waffles....as the commercial went..."They`re waffley versatile!! Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I'm not an expert on Waffles, but I do like them. A nice creamy cheese sauce on top is definitely tops! Recently I also like cheese and syrup toasted sandwiches. A treat! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I’m not sure if they can be classed as waffles per se, but in northern Europe you can buy these packaged snacks called stroopwaffles (syrup waffles) which are basically waffle biscuits sandwiched around obscenely sweet caramel syrup goop. They are quality. I think you can get them in japan too, cos the really cheap ones we bought in Germany came in Japanese packaging. Oh, and Belgian beer is the best. I’d highly recommend a drinking holiday there to anyone who enjoys a good beer. Fantastic times to be had sampling the hundreds of different local brews. Link to post Share on other sites
axion 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Oceans: How is Belgian beer all hype? I can honestly say, without hesitation, that i have never had a Belgian beer i did not like. English beers, on the other hand.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Well I can honestly say I've had Belgian beer that was frightfully expensive and not particularly special. Chimay for starters. There are far better English, German, Italian, Greek and other beers at much more drinkable prices. > How is Belgian beer all hype? Well, first, I didn't say 'all' hype. There are some good ones, no doubt. What I'm talking about is folks who say 'Belgian beer is the best' in that categorical way. That's nothing but hype. Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 There just doesn't seem to be much variety with Belgian beers. The ones I've had were nice but I didn't think they were anything particularly special. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 Nag: Lots of them are mediocre, but there are lots of excellent ones... which ones did you try? Link to post Share on other sites

Those aren't as good as the real "Goudse Stroopwafels". Maybe something for Cheesman to try Stroopwaffles and cheese both from Gouda. Link to post Share on other sites
