Waffles

A waffle is a type of cake, made from a batter or dough, cooked in a waffle iron, an appliance whose core consists of hinged metal plates that impress a (typically) honeycomb pattern on the cake whilst it is baked.

The Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, the greatly esteemed and well-beloved (is he still listening?) tyrant of Europa, is said by his son to have a love of waffles. As traditional waffle-making areas are outside the Wulfenbach Empire, this suggests that the Baron traveled widely in his youth.

In this painting a disguised Klaus Wulfenbach furthering his love of waffles can be seen in the lower left-hand corner.
