Belgian Waffles

In the United States, if you order a "Belgian waffle" you will probably be eating breakfast and get a thick waffle, with syrup and maybe some fruit on top.  If you order a "Belgian waffle" in Belgium, people might look at you like you are crazy.  There are waffles, all over the place, but not the same as what we know of as "Belgian waffles."  Here, in Belgium, you could easily find waffles around the city and even in vending machines.

This is an example of a vending machine waffle, one that is covered in chocolate.  It is wrapped still and produced by Doly.

Although, I would highly suggest buying a waffle or "gaufre" as it is in French (which is the language spoken in this area) from a local bakery, they are quite tasty at the local shops!  Pictured below are two waffles purchased from a local bakery.  On the left is pictured a waffle with sugar and on the right a waffle stuffed with apples and a cup of coconut milk (both are on paper plates and eaten at home).
