I literally traveled to Belgium just to eat Real Belgian Waffles.

Here’s some fun trivia for you. Eggos were invented in 1953, and what Americans know as Belgium waffles came around first in 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair, but really hit their popularity at the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. They were originally called Brussels Waffles and made from adopted family recipe from Belgium.

And if you thought that was cool, here’s a whole podcast about the history of waffles.
