Liz's Waffle Experiences: #s 2 & 3

Oh, Waffles 2 and 3. I will never forget you. As Adam said, after these waffles, what we got previously in Rotterdam may not even deserve to be called a waffle.

I got these waffles in Brussels, at a place called TradiNatura. Adam and I got different types, and then went halvsies on them so we could try both kinds. Liege Waffles are chewier. Brussels Waffles are crispier. Both are AMAZING.

We had both with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.  The Brussels waffle was crispy and light, easy to break apart with your fork, with nice big squares to hold chocolate. The Liege waffle had bits on it that were almost carmelized, and it was chewy but not at all tough. 

They were AMAZING. If you eat a waffle and don't feel like "OMG! This waffle is the best thing that's ever happened to me!" then you aren't eating the right waffle.

Liz's Waffle Experiences: #1



I will be reporting on all the waffles I eat while in Belgium. This waffle, #1, was actually eaten in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I thought I'd begin with a non-Belgium waffle, to see if I could notice a difference later.

This waffle has milk chocolate, strawberries, and whipped cream. I bought it at a place called "Coffee and Sweets" on Coolsingel in Rotterdam. It came with a cute little fork that had a serrated edge on the side, so you could also use it as a knife. It was a little tough tasting at first, I thought, but then I got into it. I think the whipped cream helped with the consistency.  The chocolate and cream combo was better than the chocolate and strawberries combo. Also, the milk chocolate itself was DELICIOUS.
