also, can we talk about waffle makers one last time? if you were buying a wafflemaker for home, would you get a regular one or a belgian one?

I would get belgian, but my sister and sash say regular. who's wrong?

Responses:

regular. -- nm - loosilu Aug 25, 18:46
What are we calling regular and what are we calling Belgian? -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 18:32 2
- big holes vs. small holes. (belgian is thicker and fluffier. regular is denser.) wait. I just answered my own question. - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:36 1
  - let's just say the wells should be deeper than the tread on a new snow tire. -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:37
Do they still even make regular waffle makers? -- nm - Ender Aug 25, 18:31 3
- I'm not sure but they make ones that switch over to pancakes. -- nm - the liioulu with cookies Aug 25, 18:33
- (Seriously, I bet it's been at least a decade since I even saw a "regular" waffle.) -- nm - Ender Aug 25, 18:33
- they do. I am super attracted to this one. -- (link) - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:33
no clue. I hate waffles -- nm - CQ Aug 25, 18:29 16
- what broke in your heart? -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 18:31 15
  - too be fair, I dislike pancakes too. However, I like french toast. go figure -- nm - CQ Aug 25, 18:34 14
    - dislike pan.... - TFox Aug 25, 18:37 13
      - don't freak out, he's one of the weird food people. -- nm - loosilu Aug 25, 18:46
      - heh. I like 2 eggs over easy, white toast with butter, 2 sausage links (patties suck ass), 2 strips of bacon and homefries. - CQ Aug 25, 18:45 9
        
        I'm with you on this. Stupid syrup doesn't belong on eggs, bacon or sausage. - Krusty Aug 25, 18:55
        
        Mmmm, syrup on bacon and sausage.... -- nm - the liioulu with cookies Aug 25, 18:50
        
        syrup on bacon and sausage ruins... dude, you need to dig up, motherfucker. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 18:46 6
        
        I'm totally with you on this one. - kelly Aug 25, 18:57
        
        Ok, now you guys are just taking turns with the crazy talk. -- nm - Stephen Aug 25, 18:50
        
        for french toast, I pour that sticky expensive Vermont shit in a small cup so I have control over the spillage. Pretty fucking smart, huh -- nm - CQ Aug 25, 18:50 3
        
        BUT THEN IT CAN'T GET ON YOUR BACON!' -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 18:51 2
        
        Hey, TFox, you know what tastes really good? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 25, 18:54 1
        
        my man. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 18:55
      - Love pancakes, not so much waffles. - the liioulu with cookies Aug 25, 18:40
      - he's a monster. - Reagen Aug 25, 18:39
Why do you hate my waffle maker? -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:27 2
- I love any waffle made for me. but buying a maker that might make me waffles someday? I think I pick belgian. -- nm - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:28 1
  - The only way to go. :) -- nm - budice Aug 25, 18:32
belgian. always belgian. -- nm - mafic Aug 25, 18:27
they're wrong, mainly because you prefer belgian...and it's your choice. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 18:27 5
- what about if you were buying a wafflemaker for someone else? (but knew you would get waffles from it.) -- nm - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:30 4
  - i'm of the opinion that any waffle is a good waffle, so if i knew their preference, i would lean that way. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 18:33 3
    - ARGH. but what if you didn't?? just buy what you want and hope it's right??? (thanks for humoring me.) -- nm - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:33 2
      - i would then default back to my own personal preference. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 18:35 1
        
        plus, a gift receipt with caveat that you're perfectly fine with them switching out if they choose to do so. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 18:42
i got belgian, but i think if i were to do it again, i would do regular. i like the smaller holes. -- nm - kare Aug 25, 18:27 1
- (damn your im, woman.) -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 18:29
Definitely Belgian -- nm - prayformojo Aug 25, 18:26
Is there a combo one that can do both? -- nm - the liioulu with cookies Aug 25, 18:26 1
- god, would that there were. I would pay hundreds for it. -- nm - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:27
sash is wrong. if you're going waffles, go big. don't want to go that big? there's always pancakes. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 18:25 12
- I think you might be right (don't tell sash). would you do square or round? -- (link) - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:32 11
  - madam. *madam*. belgian waffle makers have handles. that make the waffle spin. -- (link) - TFox Aug 25, 18:33 10
    - p.s. counter space is a slight issue. that's HUGE. -- nm - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:37 6
      - that's my waffle maker! -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:39 2
        
        mine too! it has to live in my closet though, because it's fucking enormous. -- nm - mafic Aug 25, 18:54 1
        
        shut up shut up shut up! -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:56
      - Oster Oster, fits next to your toaster! -- (link) - TFox Aug 25, 18:38 2
        
        I'd say there's your answer and just buy it. -- nm - Max Aug 25, 18:39 1
        
        It's also key to note that the product description states: - TFox Aug 25, 18:41
    - this is my recipe for belgian waffles: - amanda claire jones Aug 25, 18:35 2
      - the one that fucking *spins*, dumbass. how does a stationary waffle even catch any flavor? - TFox Aug 25, 18:36
      - Go with the Belgian, 'cause that's how you waffle. -- nm - the liioulu with cookies Aug 25, 18:36

also, can we talk about waffle makers one last time? if you were buying a wafflemaker for home, would you get a regular one or a belgian one?
