Belgium is a small European country that spans only 30,689 square kilometers. It is famous for its chocolates, beer, and football team. There is also one Belgian food that has crossed the country's borders and achieved global fame - the waffle!
It all started when Maurice Vermersch decided to participate in New York's World Fair in 1964. His booth "Bel-gem" ended up serving 2,500 waffles every day, which was topped with whipped cream and strawberries. There was no looking back. The Americans, and later the entire world, got amazed by these fluffy and light delights. Even in Japan, later, in the 2005 Expo at Aichi, hundreds of people were seen queuing up in front of the Belgian Pavilion.
Belgian waffles are clearly rated as the best ones in the world. If you visit the country, you will find them everywhere - at the roadside stands, bakeries, and shops. Waffles are sold as street food too in Belgium. The locals like to eat them all day, throughout the year.
