No waffles for me...

I love the butter pecan syrup from IHOP! 

Me too!  And I have a jug of some kind of butter pecan syrup in my cupboard right now.

We usually had Karo. 

Same here - we got a choice:  light Karo or dark Karo. 

I'm more of a crispy waffle fan myself, so I probably wouldn't be satisfied by anything not made in a proper waffle iron. (Tho, I would kill for a frozen Eggo just about now...)

Oh god, this post has just made me put "Waffles" on my "foods to consume" list for my trip to PA at Christmas... I want a real one AND an Eggo! Greed!

How about maple sugar candy? talk about sweeet. .but ohhh soooo tasty once in a while. like once a year these days rofl

Reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross pretty much ODs on maple candy.

Oh! Pecan syrup. That reminds me of the boysenberry (or maybe it's blueberry?) syrup they also have in the States at some places. Man, I would kill for some of that on a big, crispy waffle.

My college dining hall had the best waffles I've ever tasted in my life. I used to wake up early on Saturdays with my roommates so we'd get down there before they ran out of batter. I think it had malt in it...or something else magic.

I am totally buying a waffle iron now that I've read this thread.  I was sad to put ours in storage, but had read that it was one of the items that just didn't do well, even with a transformer. 

Even better -- my dad is bringing me some King Syrup (consistency of Karo, but molasses-ier) when he comes over in a few weeks.  Oh YEAH.  I like real-deal maple syrup well enough, but Log Cabin or King Syrup just tastes like childhood.  Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Hmmm, this intrigues me!

We were going to get a sandwich toaster anyway... I've never owned a waffle iron - does that look okay?

I tend to find that things that have multiple functions tend to do none of them very well.    See if you can find one of these: http://www.belgianwafflemaker.org/

I'd want something like that if I were going to get one. 

See, I already have more kitchen stuff than will actually fit in my kitchen. so I liked the whole multiple function thing. You're right though, probably not the best.

Not so big on syrup -- but when I do have it it's gotta be the real maple stuff, thank you very much.  Often have a frozen waffle (blueberry maybe) with just a couple spoonfuls of unsweetened apple sauce and a load of cinnamon sugar on top.  I got some frozen sweet potato waffles that I haven't tried yet -- probably be good with the apple sauce.

ooh real maple syrup.  I use it on Wheatabix, too, and shredded wheat. 

I 'will' eat the Other Kind but I certainly don't prefer it.  I also have fond childhood memories of blueberry syrup on chocolate chip pancakes, so I will make an exception for that as well.   

We have a waffle iron from Germany, but we haven't made them for ages.  or pancakes, either..  really ought to one of these days!
