In 1922 Mr. Isodoor Van Damme started to produce waffle irons in Brussels. His son, Hubert Van Damme continued the business and also started to export these machines throughout the world. The waffles started a tour of fame. The world exhibition in New York helped a lot for the American market, although the American soon made waffles that have different taste than the originals, probably due to differences in basic ingredients. The waffles are called "Belgian Waffles" although a Belgian Waffle does not exist, what exist are a lot of different types of Belgian waffles. |
