| Waffle : a light, thin batter cake baked in a special grill called a waffle iron. Basic batter is the same
as for pancakes. This crisp, quick bread has a honeycombed surface of pockets that ideally hold puddles of syrup. Waffle irons
can be electric or designed for use on the stovetop. They are available in different shapes including round, rectangular and
heart-shaped. The basic difference between a waffle and a Belgian waffle is the size. Belgian waffles are made on special
waffle irons with larger and deeper grids than the average waffle iron and are often served topped with fresh strawberries
and whipped cream, whereas the waffle is traditionally served with butter and maple syrup. Although a popular item for breakfast,
waffles are also used for desserts and main dishes depending on the toppings used which can be sweet or savory. waffle Machines

Brassicaceae family, which includes cabbages, horseradish, and mustard. Its root is used as a condiment and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more
akin to that of a hot mustard , producing vapors that stimulate the nasal passages more than the tongue. Because the burning sensations of wasabi are not oil-based, they are short-lived compared to the effects of chili
peppers, and are washed away with more food or liquid. The sensation is felt primarily in the nasal passage and can be quite
painful depending on amount taken.
