Someone, a few days ago, asked about what paintings
had pictures of waffles and pancakes in them. I have
not
had the time to do much research on this yet, but I
found two period paintings that have waffles depicted
in them, that had been webbed. The site talks about
costumes, but still is valuable for their kitchen
views.
The URL is:

or, more specifically:

This painting by Pieter Aertsen, from 1567, is called
"Market woman with vegetable stall." To the viewers
left are three waffles laying around.

This painting by Joachim de Beuckalaer was painted
sometime during 1550-1560. It is called, most
appropriately, "Making waffles." To the viewers lower
right, you will see several waffles laying on a table.
However, more importantly, you will see, in the center
of the painting, a young woman holding a waffle iron
in one hand and just about to ladle some batter from a
tureen with a wooden spoon in her other hand.
I know there are several more paintings, which I will
find and post as I find them.
