Waffles

David · June 2006

In a bid to follow up the Front Room cafe comment and bolster the "About Stroud Green" section, Petra and I finally succumbed to that waffle place opposite the station on Wells Terrace. We're not talking Michelin Stars or anything, but he spread Nutella over a waffle like no-one ever has. Twas yum. _And_ he runs a loyalty scheme.

Liz · July 2006

Why have I never noticed this place? I walk down that road twice a day. Where is it exactly?

petra · July 2006

When you come out of the station (on the Wells Terrace exit) it's on the opposite side next to the bus stop. They smell really nice - follow your nose and you can't miss it.

'Smell' is just about the right word!

David · July 2006

Have you tried one Busby? or just being a bit hoity toity? I'd like to hear your views on [Cola Zero](http://www.stroudgreen.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=130&page=1#Item_6)

andy · July 2006

I haven't tried one, but i will judge them, silently, from afar.

petra · August 2006

Hi Wassey, welcome.

What do you think of the waffles??

Michelle · August 2006

Oh very tasty.
Had one last night smothered in Chocolate - messy but that's the way a waffle should be!!

petra · August 2006

I am glad you share my view on the Nutella waffles.

Andy, any chance you'll try one?

Michelle · August 2006

Is he anti waffle?

petra · August 2006

Quoting Andy "I haven't tried one, but i will judge them, silently, from afar"

He has no idea what he's missing, what you reckon?

Michelle · August 2006

I dont want to be rude seeing as I'm a new lass - but why refuse the waffle when the temptation is so strong?

petra · August 2006

Over to you Andy.

andy · August 2006

I don't trust food served from anything that can be attached to a truck.

David · August 2006

But you'll happily stagger home and eat your own dribble mixed with some rank kebab merely because that's the only place left open. Methinks your food priorities maybe skewed. Especially after that dirty chinese you took me to on Fonthill.

Busby1 · August 2006

You're right to a degree David, but you see in my experience of spreading nutella on bread for my grandchildren I do get the impression this is terrible sugar-loaded stuff.

As for Cola zero, well, I have no opinion, never having tried it - but I've never tried frogs legs either

andy · August 2006

_But you'll happily stagger home and eat your own dribble mixed with some rank kebab merely because that's the only place left open_ Not true. I have not had a kebab for years. _Methinks your food priorities maybe skewed. Especially after that dirty chinese you took me to on Fonthill_ This is true. I was pretty sick after eating that dirty beef thing I ordered.

I saw this in cambridge yesterday.

The crepe fad is everywhere.

Uploading this from my phone to the web to here is probably the most complicated thing i've done all day.

I'm going to do some work now....

David · August 2006

Andy, you told me a few weeks ago that you'd had one. Now either you've blocked it out your memory or it was some very similar type of filth I logged in my head as a kebab. either way... Anyhow, what's with these fads? Is the 'Crepe on local street' like the new "[Pasty](http://www.westcornwallpasty.co.uk) in mainline station" ? And why are all Andy's catering plans revolving around _"anything that can be attached to a truck"_?

Lucy · August 2006

Because his brother has just recently got his driving licence and many of andy's business ideas start off as "now, I possibly have a free minion, to what use can I put him?"

Also, to join in the andy-baiting, I don't believe that he hasn't had a kebab for years either. Perhaps he just says that to his veggie girlfriend and Hugh F-W.

David · August 2006

Andy would be a great King Arthur.

andy · August 2006

_Andy would be a great King Arthur._ Most random comment ever. Why? Because Lancelot is about to run off with my girlfriend? Because I once threw a sword in a lake?

David · August 2006

A tenuous Holy Grail link to Minions, but never mind, I quite like it left as it is.

Lucy · August 2006

where is this lancelot? Has someone spotted Keanu in the country? Don't approve of polluting lakes either.

Lucy · August 2006

still, at least it wasn't a shopping trolley. It's that swindon upbringing you know.

Liz · August 2006

OMG. Finally got round to following your recommendation and had a Nutella waffle yesterday. It was delicious - warm and gooey, just right when walking home in the rain and dark. I can't believe that there are as many as five people in the world who don't like them.

David · August 2006

The point is Liz, they haven't tried them from that stall. They've no idea what they're voting against, probably some bad waffle experience when young, not the gooey loveliness that is standing right there in the car wash. Anyway, we should leave this, as I struggled to accept defeat as it is. I nearly started my own forum for people on the Harringey side of SGR just to try and win the poll.

andy · August 2006

This debate is finished.

David · August 2006

I was talking to Liz, you have no idea what we're talking about, so stay out of it.

Liz · September 2006

Pete, did you vote for waffles being ace? I swear the scores have changed on the poll.

matt · April 2007

The bit that really annoys me about this place, apart from the fact that they don't cook the waffles fresh, is the fact that they refer to them as "Belgium" waffles, rather than Belgian.

I seriously have to look the other way whenever I walk past.

Howdy, Stranger!
