About Waffle
Ancient Greeks cooked flat cakes between metal plates. The grid pattern evolved in medieval Europe. Belgian waffles were introduced to America at the 1964 Worlds Fair. Liege waffles have pearl sugar that caramelizes. Brussels waffles are lighter and rectangular. The Brussels vs Liege debate is eternal.
