Far from the maple trees of Canada (and the even the factories of high fructose corn syrup), we must survive on whatever waffle toppings we can find.Today, for Brian: cream cheese and green olives (which by the way, both are considered "gourmet imports" from our grocer). I was pretty excited just to get a waffle maker. We bought in Thailand while on a visa run. I forgot about the syrup.
My girls "settled" for peanut butter (another "gourmet import") and a dusting of powdered sugar.
I ate mine plain. Not because I'm trying to make a point. I just like plain waffles. And bland food in general. But that's off topic.
Just a note. Yes, we can find syrup. It is $7.50 a bottle (for the imitation stuff). I consider it a sacrifice to support our ingenuity (and my love of plain).
