Stefan,
Here are more paintings that show waffles and
pancakes, although most of them are post-SCA period.
>From Katie Stewart's book "The Joy of Eating",
pages 86-87. Unfortunately, Ms. Stewart does not give
us the name of the artist or the name of the painting,
but the painting appears to be dated 1560. We see a
multigenerational family, grandparents, parents and
baby. Next to the grandfather is a plate of waffles,
next to the mother is a plate of pancakes. The
grandmother is making the pancakes in the background,
using a skillet to make the pancakes. The skillet is
suspended over the fire by a large ring attached to a
set of chains.
>From Peter Rose's book, "The Sensible Cook", we find
these paintings:
Page 2: Jan Steen, "The 12th Night Feast"
Jan Steen 1626-1679.
Page 15: Willem Buytewech, "Interior" 1610.
Page 22: Jan Steen, "The St. Nicholas Celebration"
Page 77: Nicholas Maes, "The Pancake Maker"
Nicholas Maes 1634-1693.
Page 117: No artist or date: "Sweet meal"
