All you Belgians out there:
Step right up, Step right up!
Potshots at BB are in the offing!!
If you don't locate one down there Scott, Carrefour and Hyper One in Cairo have them.

Just make sure that when you throw waffles at me they are coated in Maple syrup...the traditional way

'Fraid I cannot assist with locating a machine in Luxor. But I can tell you that Wael has one, and he has got waffles on the current Specials Menu at Gerda's. Garden. Though personally, I prefer his crepes!

Pancakes are the way forward! And not long now until pancake day (shrove tuesday) wonder if there will still be any snow around for the batter? (Makes the batter lighter)
Love mine with sugar and lemon juice
I don't have a plan......so nothing can go wrong!

He's just being polite Goddess, he didn't really mean it, either that or he was really clutching at straws
Sorry
Didn't know about the waffles, I agree about the crepes though, had strawberry one last week

I tried the waffles in Gerdas place this week. I know Wael uses a German machine to make them, but my idea of a waffle is somewhat different. These were thin paper doily looking items, which I must say I really enjoyed with cream and chocolate sauce. However I seem to remember my mother making waffles that were quite thick and punched out with a waffle iron. Not the same thing at all.

Not quite sure that I would agree there Jewel
the last time we tried that method we used a lovely yellow snow that we found thinking it would add some colour to them, but I have to say they tasted awful

The waffle makers I've seen up here are the normal sort (didn't realise there was an abnormal sort ... but there you go!) By normal sort I mean the one that makes a square shape with about 9 holes in it. Not sure how much it was as I was far too interested in the price of kettles at the time.

We know how to make it ... just cannot keep it long enough to use it
