Belgians are known for their proper diet. It is therefore not surprising that the Belgian chef Maurice Vermersch was responsible for the creation of Belgian waffles in the 1950s. The culinary specialist originally called them Brussels waffles. However, this was a difficult name to pronounce and many people didn’t know where Brussels was. So, it was decided to change the name to “Belgian Waffles”.
Belgians prefer the healthier version of Belgian waffles. This is the basis for the famous Belgian diet consisting of only one week of eating salted Belgian waffles. Fashiongton Post shares with you this easy recipe that has already become legendary.
