Waffles

[The F Bomb]

Whaff's the appeal of these? Negative space? Interesting idea but waffles and dougbtus/doughnuts, arguably, are defined by the absence of dough/batter.

Is there something related to oxygen intake while eating or satisfaction of the biting something that experiences an absence of itself?

Wap em in the toaster for 40 secs, then spread and fill the squares with peanut butter and top with sliced banana. All you need to know

[The Mollusk]

Did you know you can cook pptato waffel in a toaster!!!

[Stoneage Dinosaurs]

Did you know you can make pancake in a toaster too!!! Crazy!!! Also my toaster does not work anymore

Crunchy outside, soft and doughy inside, an almost saltiness followed by a sweet hit with a hint of vanilla. Combined with certain toppings giving even more variety of taste and texture it's a party in the mouth - fruit, chocolate, spray cream, roasted chopped nuts etc.

[Cold Meat Platter]

For me it's the versatility

[shoulders]

Genuinely dislike donuts and doughnuts. Cold, greasy clag.

Waffles though, how could you not. The grid is useful for toppings and even if you have a plain one the sensation is pleasing.

They're wafflely versatile.

[Poobum]

Tried Eggo waffles, awful, my own fault for watching Stranger Things. Does remind me of also trying a scrambled egg savoury poptart thing which was scrummy. Back to waffle content, I like stroopwafels.

I like all the ways you can prepare waffles.
Grill 'em.


All the ways.

[FeederFan500]

The DIY batter ones you make at home and their supermarket equivalents not so great.

The Belgian types with the sugar nibs done well are great. Bit of crunch from the sugar, but the danger is they are a bit moist at which point they are much worse.

Going rate for them at kiosks/dessert places is absurd for what you get. Tesco used to do a reasonably priced single one but not any more.

This is what my cat is called... we named it cos he got stuck underneath an iron.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I'm sure they're great if you like ingesting large amounts of sugar.

[hamfist]

I like the blue ones

What about hot ones fresh from the fryer at the fairground?

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

One of these days, I will stackup a load of potato waffles and fill the gaps up with chips, thereby creating a solid cube of spud.

After that, I don't care what happens.

[shoulders]

What about hot ones fresh from the fryer at the fairground?

Better but still stale. I'm getting sensory flashbacks and it isn't good.

The old thing about being unable to finish a doughnut without licking your lips is fun though. And I was still old enough that people called the jam "monkey's blood".

[Sebastian Cobb]

Anyone got one of the machines for making them?

Sorry I won't go lower than Steam Rally donuts.

[Terry Torpid]

It annoys me that they're pronounced woffles. I deliberately say WAFFles, to the annoyance of friends and family.

[bgmnts]

As a trypophilic of sorts, waffles are tits.

The lattice structure presumably gives it a bit of crunch, as opposed to one flat potato cake.

I love the thought of coming home to these

[madhair60]

Cunt got it in one, first post out the gate. Impressive.

Yes, it's brill. Proper breakfast, you know, sizzling butter and all specialized tools and equipment.

It's a bit of a headache to be honest, but when I can be arsed (and even better, do the batter night before in the fridge) it's brill.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I wouldn't mind one. Just assumed I'd never be arsed making batter.

I'm sure they used to do a thing like a toastie maker but it was for pies.

Oh, is that what an Eggo is? I assumed it was like a Twinkie or something, like they eat in the American films.

I'm sure they used to do a thing like a toastie maker but it was for pies.

The stupid thing about it is recipes (usually American) reckon you need to do a load of stuff to make them rise but no you fucking don't, you're pressing eggs, milk, butter and flour between two very hot plates.

The steam alone is more than enough to make them rise as you'd expect, but they insist you have to fanny about with buttermilk and whipped egg whites or whatever. They're easier than you think.

[hamfist]

sorry can you sort yourselves into two lines ?

Batter waffles on the left, potato waffles on the right

It's getting awfully mixed up in here and someone will end up losing an eye
