Eggos, and waffles are just pancakes with syrup traps.

[PH]

Incorrect, waffles are crispy and delicious. Pancakes are just boring.

[Krusnik]

Well waffles, are cool too, but noone makes them the old way anymore.

Right, and that's what I'm trying to do with this thread. Get people to stop being lazy and show some initiative.

The modern waffle has its origins in the late middle ages. Waffle irons consisted of two metal plates connected by a hinge, each plate was connected to a wooden arm. Some plates had imprinted designs such as a coat-of-arms or landscape, while some had the now-familiar honeycomb/gridiron pattern. The iron was placed over a fire and would need to be flipped manually to cook both sides of the waffle. These irons were used to produce a variety of different flat, unleavened cakes (usually from a mixture of barley and oats, not the white flour used today). Some were rolled into a horn or tube, others were left flat. In many cities, waffles were sold off carts by street vendors. Judging from extant illustrations, these vendors gave people their money's worth, as the waffles in question were about the size of a small pizza.

In medieval French, the term for this pastry was "oublie" (from Latin "oblata"), sold by "oubloyeurs" in the streets of Paris and other major cities.

However, technology like the toaster has thrown a serious monkey wrench into the works. Read on:

GE released an electric toaster in 1909, patented under the name D-12. It is widely thought to be the first electric toaster on the market, but there is some controversy. An ad for the Pacific Electric Heating Company's competing Hotpoint brand toaster ran in the Saturday Evening Post in 1917, claiming:

Perhaps you didn't know that the very first toaster made was a Hotpoint. That was 12 years ago.

That ad places the Hotpoint's introduction in 1905, the very year Albert Marsh developed Nichrome wire. Nichrome could endure a suitable high heat for a long time, and the discovery of such a filament had been the linchpin of electric toaster development.

Little do most people know that Bush, not Hotpoint, was the mastermind behind the first toaster. Using his time machine, "Project 86", he travelled to 1905, marched into Hotpoint headquarters and assumed responsibility of the project. His finished product would pave the way for the current toasters that are slowly sucking away at the world's ability to motivate themselves to create real waffles. I urge all of you to take a stand before it's too late. The link below has more info on what you can do.
