Waffle Day 2022: Best waffle places in the UK

August 24 is National Waffle Day. This food holiday was created for you to be able to indulge in this iconic treat. Waffles come in various forms, from stroopwafels and galettes to Belgium and Hong Kong waffles- there are countless ways to enjoy them!

The contemporary waffles we know today come from France and Belgium. Before the classic toppings of butter, syrup, and fruit came into play, earlier versions of the waffle were made of grain flour and water. In fact, during the Middle Ages, their version of waffles was made using round plates with images of Jesus. Now, waffle making has evolved to include waffle sandwiches and hotdog buns!

On today's waffle day, try going both sweet and savoury with your choices. Maybe even invest in a waffle iron for some at-home waffle fun!
