Right so i was doing some shopping yesterday and out of nowhere i got the urge to buy some waffles (very much an impulse purchase ). Now i can't recall ever having them before so i don't really know what they go down best with. The pack says they are good with either jam, fruit, honey or syrup but i just wanted to get the opinions of some experienced waffle eaters as to what you think is best (for breakfast).
Usually butter and syrup, for brekky, but for a snack, peanut butter and grape jelly can be great between two Eggo waffles.
Melted chocolate and ice cream is best. But if you're having them for breakfast I'd recommend fruit and maple syrup. Now I want waffles dammit.
The topping is down to personal preference, but the most important thing is to make the waffles from scratch. Makes a huge difference in taste/quality and its fairly easy to do (after you buy a waffle maker). Just takes about 20 minutes or work and a large bowl to make a dozen or so at a time.
Frozen waffles are a completely different animal from regular waffles. I like frozen waffles toasted (very toasted) with just a bit of butter. Regular waffles I usually eat with butter and syrup. But some sort of fruit jam or jelly would also be good.
Yes, and no. I buy imported from Canada. It's a little extravagance of mine. Not as far as I'm aware. Imitation brands call it 'pancake syrup' or 'maple flavoured syrup'. Pretty sure that sort of false advertising would have Consumer Affairs on your back.
Yikes, that must be expensive. Maple syrup is really expensive even here in the US. Lucky for me, I only make pancakes at home a few times a year.
I'm the same, thankfully don't use it too much. But I got addicted to the real stuff when I taught skiing in Canada. It's an illness, don't judge me. Honestly, I doubt many Australians would know the difference between maple syrup and 'maple flavoured syrup'. But the real stuff has the Canadian 'certified pure' stamp on the back, so if you know what you're after it's easy to tell.
Yeah, it's not cheap here in California. But not too bad, I think it's about $10 for a 250 ml bottle.
Here's the mix we use: We make these once or twice a month -- whenever my four year old requests "awfuls" for breakfast. They're very good. Of course, this mix is probably not available in much of the US, much less outside the US, and you have to have a waffle maker, but once you make the investment, these beat the hell out of Eggos.
Some folks like to combine chicken and waffles. I like it, too, but since I don't like bones, I'll stack buttered Eggo waffles, alternating with breaded chicken patties, and cover the stack in imitation maple syrup (Mrs. Butterworths or the like.)
Roscoe's has a store in Long Beach. Roscoe's was named in the top 5 for chowdown places on the Travel Channel or Food Network. They perfected chicken and waffles.
We usually eat waffles only with powdered sugar and save maple sirup (Thank god I have a host family in MA sending me regular supplies, almost impossible to get here and if you do, horribly expensive) for pancakes. Speaking of which, traditionally Germans eat pancakes with sugar, cinamon and apple sauce. It's awesome, try it!
Pretty much anything tastes good with apples and cinnamon. But chicken and waffles? That's ghastly! Heck chicken and anything for breakfast is gross.
you know nothing! lotsa folks eat hot meats for breakfast. even steak. how is fried chicken, hot, crisp, juicy, worse than sausages or ham steak? waffles is just your basic starch. it's short term engernie food. your protein lasts till your mid-day meal. that's why you needs your chicken or other meat. a cheese omelette is a good substitute, but it's just a substitute. it's a bench sitter compared to chicken and waffles.
So just as an update, i went with the trusty banana and honey combo. Had two waffles (toasted), which was pretty filling so today i just went with one, cut it in half and tried something different (strawberry jam on one and marmalade on the other). The feedback has me wanting to try them with maple syrup though, so might go out and buy some today to see what all the hype is about.
in the mid-80s, i used to have breakfast at The Potholder Cafe in Long Beach almost every morning, two pancakes with a side of applesauce. i'm not a big fan of cinnamon, except cinnamon buns. their pancakes were the bomb.
I'm not sure about this but I think that chicken and waffles is more of a lunch or supper thing than a breakfast thing.
