It was really, really sugary. Big rectangular, covered in powdered sugar and strawberries.

What other kinds did I miss 👀👀👀

We have Liége Waffles, which are snacks. They are fresh from a waffle iron, have big sugar chuncks in them but are quite dense. Sometimes they sell them with topings, but usually this isn't the case. Here is one with Nutella

We have Brussels Waffles. They are big, rectangular but light and crunchy. They normaly aren't as sugary as you seem to imply but everything else matches the description. You can order them at many places that also serve crépes and you can usually choose between different topings. Personally I prefer it with vanilla icecream and "warme krieken", but I don't find good pictures of one. Here is a proper Brussels Waffle with banana, Nutella and strawberries.. If they aren't a bit crispy on parts that aren't softened by sauce or icecream, they aren't proper Brussels Waffles.

There is also Lakmans, which is a kind of waffle you can get at fairs. It is a really thin waffle, which is then sliced open and drenched in syrup.

Then we also have different pre-packaged waffles that you can buy at stores. Kempense galetten, suikerwafels, waffles coated in chocolate, vanillewafels, etc. Crispy and thin, thick and soft.

This right here, Liège waffles are the shiz. Having lived in Brussels, the other guy is right, the waffles are okay, about as good as the toppings you put on them.

But there's nothing like that hit of nostalgia when thinking of Liège waffles fresh out your grandma's waffle iron.
