Did you ever think about waffles? It’s a miracle that waffles ever came into existance because they depend upon a unique mold that transforms a pancake into something all together different. Who was the first guy who declaired, “I shall cast iron into a form so that pancakes shall no longer repel syrup, but henceforth and forever, my cakes shall hold the syrup in wells until such time that the cakes be cut by knife?”
Maybe its wasn’t so grand a plan. Wikipedia doesn’t cover the exact origins. My best guess is that it began with some royal chef aiming to create a decorative cake for the pleasure of a king.
At any rate, waffles make me sick. It’s just too much concentrated sweetness.
