Wafels & Dinges fun

As you all know I love food and since the boys, my quests for treats are those that are kid friendly. One day a few weeks ago, I read about a waffle truck online and was excited to see that it was parked in Hanover Square on Wednesdays. Since Mister R is home and it was freezing cold, I sent him out for the waffle expedition. No, the title is not spelled wrong, wafel is apparently the Belgium spelling and dinges are toppings.

There are two types of wafels sold- the Brussels and Liege. I prefer the Brussels- light and crispy (apparently first came to NY for the World's fair in 1964). My preferred toppings- Belgian chocolate fudge and strawberries. Mister R preferred the Liege waffle- light and chewy- with speukoloos spread & whipped cream (an awesome spread that tastes kind of like peanut butter with graham crackers). They will give you a taste of it to try.

If you check their blog before you go- and call the wafel hotline- they have a question or thing of the day (i.e. what is a curling stone made of- answer correctly and you get a free dinges). In case you are dying to know- a curling stone is made of a Scottish granite. Look for a big yellow truck- usually not much of a line (but a loyal following). It's all a bit quirky and fun.

The waffles are a bit pricey but they are delicious. I hate to say it, but the second time we got them, we debated whether to wait to eat them when Master A was napping, but we decided it would be too cruel. As you can see, Master A enjoyed quite a nutritious lunch. They travel well in cute little boxes.

I can see many a fun spring/summer outing spent with the boys running around Hanover Square covered in wafels and dinges. Let me know if you want to join us.
