Waffle Day is a day that you can waffle on issues and decisions. And, it
certainly is a day to eat waffles.
This holiday originated in Sweden. It is called Våffeldagen. The holiday
coincides with the Feast of the Annunciation. This day was also considered the
start of spring in Sweden and Europe. It became a custom for Swedish families
to celebrate the two events by making waffles on this day.
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.
Waffles are commonly eaten as breakfast or a snack. They are also an
occasional dinner meal for some people.
Wonderful collection! Thank you for including my waffle bowl ice cream candle!
