I have so many words I want to say, but seeing as this is a public forum, Iâll kindly keep them to myself.
Please, donât blame yourself either. I know everyone on this forum only wants the best for this community, DT, and biohacking as a whole. We canât let a bad reaction like this break our spirit.
Adding to the pile of random chinese product reviews. Really sucks that thereâs no way to differentiate yourself from the spam but the product should speak for itself hopefully
Uh⊠waffles are like if you made a batch of brownies that were all side pieces with the crusty goodness. Both bears and penguins prefer waffles of course. They are mortal enemies, but on this they can agree, and that gives me hope.
If youâre making waffles properly, they have all of the best parts of a pancake, with all the benefits of a waffle. The problem is the rampant acceptance of subpar waffles being served everywhere.
For me the acceptable waffle ratio is just far too low. In my experience itâs like 10:2:1, shitty:acceptable:really good.
Thatâs a bad ratio. For pancakes, itâs always like 1:10:2. Pancakes are really hard to fuck up, most fall in the average range, but occasionally theyâll be really great.
I concede that potentially the best waffle encountered in the wild might beat the best pancake, but itâs like finding a diamond in the rough, but the rough is just full of human feces you have to dig through. Bad waffles are really bad.
Bizarrely, the best brownie I have ever had in my entire life, was at Chowpatty Beach in Mumbai, India
It was a âSizzling Brownieâ
A Sizzling hot plate, with a large brownie served on it, vanilla ice-cream scoops on top, and drizzled over that was a chocolate sauce; the hot plate warmed the brownie through, which melted the ice cream and the overflow chocolate sauce caramelised on the hot plate
The ice cream was packed separate from the brownie. Youâd microwave the brownie til it was super hot, and then plop the ice cream on top. I have really fond memories of those, but havenât seen them in a long, long time. They tasted pretty good, but the ice cream was bottom of the barrel quality.
Thatâs exactly the problem, the potential ceiling for goodness is way in favor of waffles, but you can make a decent pancake anywhere thereâs a hot surface
Not entirely lost. I have a cast iron wonderffle for making stuffed waffles. And a cast iron Griswold waffle iron. Treat them right and they make the best waffles.
Of course you need to use a good waffle batter recipe as well.
I will say⊠I make an exception for waffles under one circumstance.
When theyâre the big chonky ones that contain meat or some other breakfast food item
