As promised in my last post, ... here is the second place I ate breakfast for dinner on my trip to Ithaca, New York. A restaurant called Waffle Frolic. I bet you can't guess what I had for dinner?
Chili! Ha, ha you were expecting me to say waffles weren't you. Ok, you're right. I had chili served on a cornbread waffle. Not a typical waffle but very delicious. The other waffle was a nice normal buttermilk waffle with fried bananas and chocolate sauce on top. It's always good to eat out with a friend, that way you can share.
I thought the name Waffle Frolic was just a cute name the owner thought up but it turns out the name is actually historic. US President Thomas Jefferson brought back a waffle iron from France in the late 1700s and started a trend of waffle parties in the United States. These parties were called waffle frolics. It just goes to show you can always learn something new every day.
I hope you enjoyed learning about waffles. Thanks for stopping by.
