My Christmas Eve sweet treat

Who said there's no god. Pah!

Just been eating this. Waffle toasted for 1 minute. They're not those soft spongy ones, these are firm proper waffles. Just...heaven.

I love waffles. However cream from a can, really.

I made pork scrtchings from the skin left over from home made ham.
'twas good, no photos though.

Yeah, I normally whip my own cream, but, it was just easier to buy a can plus I enjoy the squirting.

Yea, that would be awesome as well with the ice cream. Hot and cold compliment each other so well. :cool:

A waffle from a packet served with canned cream.

Genius.

And do you make the beer you drink? No. Genius.

But the Maple "flavour" syrup is fine

Yep, as that's sugary and sweet. Canned cream is just nasty. as is most shop bought cream stuff. Needs a touch of sugar and touch of vanilla to make cream worth while. Or if you want fast optionuse clotted cream instead.

Some people around here do actually.

Dont see anything wrong from eating a waffle from a packet. We dont all have the time to prepare stuff the hard way.

It's just plain old food snobbery from some people. If I'd made waffles, I couldn't make them taste any better than these packet ones, and I doubt anyone here could either. They tasted awesome so I don't see what the problem is. Cream tastes fine too. I've whipped my own cream when I've made victoria sponge cakes, and apart from it being thicker, taste wise there's nothing much in it.

MisChief · 27 Dec 2011 at 22:32

You could've at least squirted the cream a bit better though. Presentation, it's all about presentation!

Tbf if you have a waffle iron then waffles are incredibly easy to make, but that looks tasty!

I still resist indulging in the weirdly sweet desserts that Americans love to have for breakfast here, waffles, pancakes, french toast etc.. :confused:

Never resist waffles and pancakes. Resistance is bad, ok?

I remember being in a Dennys many years back in florida I think it was, and I had a stack of pancakes with syrup. Amazing!

I think you misunderstand. I have nothing against eating them (I'm sure it was lovely!) I just don't think it's particularly threadworthy. Today I had some aunt bessies yorkshire puddings with bisto gravy... Should I have made a thread about that?

Christmas day had just started, I was feeling good and I felt like making an impulsive throwaway post in the food forum saying I'm enjoying some waffles. It's not like there was much else going on in here at the time.

Party pooper

Oh and yorkshire puddings from a packet. Genius.

Agreed, not particularly threadworthy, needs bacon.
