My family lived in Belgium for a few years when I was growing up, and the times my parents and I got waffles as a special treat are a core childhood memory. My favorite way to have them was with chocolate sauce. The first time I was served a so-called "Belgian" waffle in America, it actually made me angry that they had the audacity to call it that when it was so far from the real thing. This was shortly after we moved back here when I was still feeling homesick for Belgium, so the disappointment hit harder than bad food normally would. It was also memorable for being the first, but sadly not last, time I was disappointed in my country to the point of tears. I was 11.
Gonna have to disagree with you about the mayo on fries, though. That combination is delicious.
Thats only if they are completely mixed and whiskey is added, if you just combine mayo and ketchup without mixing thoroughly and add some raw onion its called ‘speciaal’ sauce which is my personal favourite
