Breakfast Suggestion

Longing for the taste of maple,
New England's sweet and tasty staple?
I am here to kindly mention
considering the Belgian invention.
Take a pancake: for heaven's sake,
it makes your syrup form a lake.
The solution really is so simple.
Fill your flapjack up with dimples.
Wouldn't it be truly awful 
to have no dimples in your waffle?

It would be awful. Cook that waffle long enough to make it firm. Your food stories are delicious.

Thanks Hilda! It's been a long time since I've had a waffle actually, but I had pancakes just his morning!

I will put a little syrup on the side, just in case (and it does) my pancake or waffle absorbs it all. Great!

Hmm, that's true. A pancake or a waffle can absorb a lot of maple syrup! Good idea!
