[Sca-cooks] waffles

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

Yes. They served them at the Belgian Exhibit. With whipped cream, and I 
think fruit... maybe ice cream. They were unlike any waffles I'd ever 
heard of, but my mother (who knew everything - if that gives you a clue 
to my age at the time *G*) told us about them before we went. They had a 
wonderful carousel, there, too - beautiful horses and it went faster 
than any other!

I had a very Intrepid Mother... we went to the World's Fair quite often. 
Enough to have Favorite Exhibits and return to them. The other food 
items I remember was Maryland Clam Chowder at (logically) the Maryland 
exhibit - tomato based like Manhattan but spicier - and the Smorgasbord 
at the Swedish exhibit. Our favorite lunch and dinner, respectively.
