Why Waffles?

Over on the cold clean blog, there was a reference to our valiant efforts over here to get the perfect waffle. So I commented but for those of you who don't wish to click and see, I am expanding it here.

Although FBB is sort of right ( WOW, I am NEVER gonna live that line down!), that it is really just a base for the yummy goodness that we slather on top of it, I happen to like pancakes and waffles somewhat plain as well. Furthermore, some of the comments from my tasters have pretty much indicated that it doesn't taste waffle-y, so there is a taste out there that they associate with waffles, and I just haven't found it yet.


However, there is a more important reason for eating them, especially fat-free ones, which so far are winning the taste tests. That would be that it gives a growing child a healthy breakfast that can power them through until lunch. It also gives an expanding middle aged man something to eat with his coffee and syrup that isn't cinnamon buns, which would cause the expanding to go to exploding.

This is a good thing, and shows responsible parenting, whereby mere spoonfuls of butter with syrup on them would probably get a parent in trouble with child welfare.

As I commented back:

That "waffley" taste your crew is craving is called chemicals and preservatives that they associate with frozen processed waffles. You need to bring them slowly into the world of fresh waffles!

Also, the carb crash they will experience with waffles, will most likely not power them through until lunch, though plain cheese and butter are more likely to do so.

Not that I think that's what they should eat....

Someone asked, anonymously, why three posts on waffles.

I am not posting the comment, because it is anonymous, but I will repond nonetheless.

Dear Anonymous,

its more like eight post so far, with more likely to come.

FBB. remember the pounds of butter in the waffles, as well as the eggs, which balance the protein and the carbs. They are also HUGE, and one of the testers did state it indeed carried her through to lunch.

So feed your kids what you want, but i have seen them eat by me, so maybe you should feed them more......

you feel like and even better parent if you use whole wheat (pastry) flour. then you can say it is a high fiber, breakfast.

The last batch WAS 1/2 whole wheat, and still tasteless.

Sheesh... why don't you just give up already and eat this!

Way better for you and apparently way better tasting.
