NATIONAL WAFFLE DAY

On this day we celebrate and enjoy this versatile breakfast food item. What makes it so great, is the many items you can put in and on it. To start, there’s the traditional butter and maple syrup. You can put chocolate chips, blueberries, raspberries, cinnamon, and more in them. As for toppings, your choice of fruit is almost unlimited. Try any fruit imaginable, along with a generous helping of whipped cream.  Yes, it’s going to be a great day participating in this food holiday.

The origin of the waffle:  The waffle dates back to the 1300s in Greece. Greeks cooked flat cakes between two metal pans. At the time, they topped it with cheeses and herbs. Pancake syrup wasn’t around back then.
