- If you think that waffles are a simple treat, you might be surprised. They go back further in history than you might imagine. And there are more kinds of waffles than there are, well, squares on a waffle iron.

Two poached eggs, toast with butter and jam, and half a papaya with fresh lime juice. Black coffee, a glass of milk, and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. That was my regular breakfast in South East Asia when a kid to young adults growing up. Life was hard. Later, in Europe, I was introduced to the waffle.
I love that he has to cover up a grimace,
when he mentions the waffles filled with bean paste.
British. Dad was Dutch, from Breda - close to Belgium. I grew up with stroopwafeltje for breakfast. I remember in the '50s being taken on the back of dad's bike to Belgium, with the thicker and fluffier waffles.
King Arthur Baking has a malted and yeasted Belgian waffle mix that hands-down makes the best waffles I've ever had. The downside is that I am now a waffle snob and can no longer eat them in restaurants. 😂
Did I miss the mention of the true Belgian waffle? The Liege Waffle. Its distinct feature is the inclusion of “pearl sugar” in the batter, small balls of compacted white sugar. As the heat is applied simultaneously to top and bottom, the pearls melt into a carmelized crust.
If you find some in the USA, they’re best served fresh and hot.
History Guy strong to the mike on this one, no meandering, no waffling. 😀
When I was 12, I went to the 1964 NY World's Fair. Belguim Waffles were a big thing. Unfortunately, they were $1 and I only had $2 for the whole day. Shafer Drafts were only $0.25. It was a hot day so I bought a draft and some sovouniers. Good Video. Good Luck, Rick
Note: I learned around 1988 that in rural/farming Middle TN, fried chicken was sometimes served as a breakfast item for large families. There was no mention of either pancakes or waffles. I'd guess with fried eggs and homemade biscuits/gravy. (*And I mean mama going out in the barnyard and harvesting the hen that morning.)
*Things I never thought about before. Now I need to research the history of French toast!* _(which is miles better than waffles or flapjacks!)_
Tasting History's Max Miller did a video on that a bit ago: th-cam.com/video/02V5dqRjNfw/w-d-xo.html
I make waffles from Jiffy cornbread mix and we cover them in homemade chili. YUM!!❤🎉
Random comment on TH-cam for the win😂❤ sounds delish
'And in the morning, we'll have waffles!' Donkey.
*I'm making*, not, we're having.
We are still dealing with the fallout of a frozen waffle recall here in Canada. A lot of us suspected that there was no difference between the original brand name and the house brands at major grocery chains except for the name on the box and the price (20- 25% less) and it was confirmed by all of them being affected by the recall. New stock has been in the stores for a few weeks but every time I've shopped the house brands have been sold out (I'm too cheap to pay more for the name on the box).
Possibly, but all that confirms is that the manufacturer processed both products on the same line with at least some of the same ingredients and process controls, or lack thereof. That's true of store brands in general.
my mother worked for Vans shoe factory in the 60's, where they used a waffle iron for the soles!
Waffles are cruel to maple syrup, making it all sit in prison cells until consumed. Truly horrific. I have an old Dutch lady who gives little waffle cookies as gifts. She said her mom was a waffler, must've where the name cam from?
I like that feature. With pancakes, the bottom pancake gets soggy and falls apart before you can eat the whole stack. Waffles spread it out evenly.
Waffle = Upgraded Pancake
Yeah, they taste and hold syrup better.
True
They are pancakes WITH ABBS!!!!
More like an arrogant pancake
Soooo much more
The white oblaten that Germans make Nürnberger Lebkuchen on comes from the same lineage. It's basically a thin derivative of the communion host, though I think they use rice flour now, instead of wheat in that process.
One of my earliest memories is moms waffles with walnuts mixed in the batter and smothered with hot cherry preserves. I still make them today.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I,ve had potato waffles. They are awsome.
I had a delicious Belgian waffle at the NY World's Fair in August 1965. It cost $2.50.
I love waffles. Thank you for revealing their history. BTW, I still stand by the waffle ice cream cone originating at the St. Louis 1904 Worlds Fair. My aunt, who was a young woman there (where my maternal family settled) was at the fair and told me. So, it must be true.
Talked about waffle cones in this episode. A History of Ice Cream

IHOW..International House Of Waffles just doesn't taste right..
Approved by Joel Robinson, from the Satellite of Love
Thank you. Very interesting!
My go to waffle recipe is from Glen and friends channel, Our Fave Weekend Waffles. I double the recipe and increase the sugar in the batter. Delicious, give it a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Never eaten one, I have seen them in packets in supermarkets, but never had one.
Don't bother. The Yanks don't even know what black pudding is, nor have they ever heard of the Black Country!
I can't eat the sugary high caloric waffles anymore, but enjoyed them while it lasted.
That was strangely fascinating, thank you!
I think I'll make a batch of waffles today. Power of suggestion 😊
Always a great way to start a day by watching the History Guy!
you did Bacon a few vids ago, now Waffles? ..
if you do a vid on Eggs for breakfast, and Pancakes, and potatoes hash browns,
you can put it in a play list called the Continental Breakfast ... ps dont forget the Coffee 😋🍽🍽🍽

Sat here in Wales watching this eating a toffee waffle, made by a Dutch man here in Wales
What's this guy waffling on about?! 🙂
My favorite breakfast. Thanks, Lance.
Not me. French Toast is my favorite!
What if you made waffles, and then turned them into french toast?
@smilaise I think they would be too soggy. Bread is denser than a cooked waffle, so the egg would be too wet for it. I like waffles, but they aren't my favorite.
First bacon and now waffles?!? Oh, wow. How about donuts? BTW: I much prefer the simple fades you used to use between your slides over the fancy transitions you use here. These fancy ones are too jarring.
Good morning, professor! 👋🏽 😊
"L'eggo my Eggo"
waffles are cakes, not breakfast
Weren't ice cream cones derived from waffles. The is a legend (probably false) that the first one was made at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair that an ice cream vender and a waffle vender invented it when the ice cream vender run out of plates.
Told that story in this episode: A History of Ice Cream

Looks like a wafer shaped into a cone to me.
You and Tasting History with Max Miller should collab!!!
Watch out for catapult pancakes!
I hope you figure out why your microphone gets heavily compressed here and there. It goes from clear to Zoom-crunched from scene to scene.
4K video with bad audio is confusing.
I simply do not hear these audio issues.
Im sorry but French toast is much better than waffle and or pancakes.
Have you tried cooking your French toast is a waffle iron?
NO. IT'S AUNT JEMIMA!
Yes, Pearle Baking company was the first US brand to make ready-mix pancake batter. And they used Aunt Jemima as their spokesperson.
Once again I am a little late to the party 🥳
Not an hour long video to cover such a topic?
I could have easily done an hour if I had gone into all the European varieties.
@TheHistoryGuyChannel Great video by the way 😊👍
Well done
Going back to Ancient Greece huh? You’re giving tasting history with max miller a run for his money lol
Ahh yes, Waffle House. Have great food, watch a show of violence.
That yeast waffle sounds delicious!
Use a traditional raised cinnamon roll recipe, and then cook the dough in your waffle iron.
Is Donald Trump a time traveler? Coin at 1:07
Haha nice catch 😅
Mmmmm Waffles.
So did Christianity give us waffles? Jesus.😮
Communion wafers are an integral part of the story.
No, its a far call from
Half As Interesting did a video about Waffle House's disaster resilience recently: th-cam.com/video/aBa82NCdLoc/w-d-xo.html
How do spies eat their waffles?
Syruptitiously.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Golden Malted at the Comfort Inn is the only reason i can stand road trips.
Belgium waffles for the win!
An Englishman would never have a waffle within a mile of his breakfast plate.
And as for the horrors of hash browns and grits.....
@@philhawley1219 lol and the US would say the same of pork and beans for breakfast. But all indications are that waffle sales are rapidly increasing in the UK, and I found them to be common in breakfast buffets.
There is actually a long history of waffles in the UK. The first known use of the word “waffle” as it is spelled today was in a 1725 cookbook called “Court Cookery, or the Compleat English Cook.”
The only reason waffles are "relatively famous worldwide" today is because of Hollywood.
They're not a thing in Australia, outside of waffle cones for ice cream anyway and those are a very different thing.
The Australian Waffle Company will be surprised to hear that.
@@TheHistoryGuyChannelThey've been around in Australia for ages but have never been popular. Even the pancake which is only an occasional breakfast food is more popular. I suspect this is due to the strong British influence here whereas in the US breakfast foods seem to have more diverse influences.
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel The what? never heard of them.
Googled them, so, they do exist, but yeah, not sold in bakeries, supermarkets or even Wendys. Waffles are just not a major thing here.
In fact I used to think waffles were just some sort of square crumpet, before I learned that no, they're a crumpet that's stuffed with sugar.
Actually learned more from this video than I've picked up at random over 30 years.
Waffle House doesn't have the best waffles, but the food comes with free entertainment
What is a waffle? Any politician with an (R) next to their name
Like Joe Biden. Waffled with Hunter's presidential pardon...😂
God you’re all so damn boring. Get a better hobby!
Throwing political crap into every random conversation is very dull.
@@FuncleChuck Right?!? I couldn't resist the low hanging fruit on that one!
@TheHistoryGuyChannel Do Captain Jack of the Modoc Tribe. Killed the highest ranking US officer by a Native American.
Mitch Hedberg declared: "Waffles are pan- cakes with 'syrup pockets'!" 🧇🤏🥴🤙
He was high as f. Pancakes and waffles are very different.
@@jasonbirch1182You're highlarious! 🤏🥴🤙
@@jasonbirch1182waffles taste better when ur high...don't hate 😎
@@maggedo-x1s I mean look. Pancakes are full of pockets. They're air pockets until you soak them in syrup. Sorry he was too high to notice. 🤣
Thank you, Cornelius!! I made waffles from scratch for my kids for years while they were in school. I made suggestions for other tasty stuff...but waffles almost always won out. ❤🧇🧇
