        We just call them waffles. Actually, we call them "wafels", pronounced like "wow-fulls".

        They are made from very very light batter, so they're light and crunchy, usually with powdered sugar on top. When I visit the States and somebody offers me "Belgian waffles" they're not at all like what we get here at home.

          Sounds a little like what we would call funnel cakes

              A true Belgian waffle should float off your plate.
              Unless they stack them with strawberries and whipped cream.
              Hmmmmm.......

              This Royal Wedding thread is really awesome...

                              Probably because i'm a little thick but I have no idea what that means.

                              The only time I ever heard "easy touch" was in the Pointer Sisters song Slow Hand

                                Being an Anglophile, I'd never do that.
                                I wonder what easy touch means? Is it like "an easy target"?
