How to Celebrate International Waffle Day
For those who might not be in the know, the 25th of March is International Waffle Day
Do you have a calendar nearby? Grab it, and set your eyes on the 25th of March 2021. Does anything special come to mind (and payday doesn’t count)? Like most people, you probably let the 25th of March pass you by without much fanfare. But, if you’ve always thought of it as just another day, you’re in for a sweet surprise.
For those who might not be in the know, the 25th of March is International Waffle Day. The holiday was initially celebrated in Sweden, but, as you can imagine, the rest of the world was all too eager to join in. And who can blame them? A holiday that is best celebrated by eating waffles is a holiday everyone can get behind. But how exactly do you celebrate such a holiday? Here’s a crash course for those who take sweet treats seriously.
Celebrate Like the Swedes
No one’s asking you to go to Sweden (but, if you can, great!). Since most people can’t hop on the first plane to the small Nordic country, they’ll have to go with the next best thing: Making traditional Swedish waffles! Whip out your heart-shaped waffle maker, grab a jar of your favourite jam and whipped cream, and buy fresh berries from your local fruit & veg. The end result is a sweet dish straight out of Sweden.
Go to a Waffle Restaurant
So maybe you read the previous tip and thought: ‘I don’t even own a waffle maker, let alone a heart-shaped one. How am I going to celebrate International Waffle Day?’ Or maybe you just like leaving the art of waffle making to the experts. Whatever the case, ordering waffles instead of making them is also an option. If you’re asking yourself whether there are any decent waffle restaurants near you, the answer is yes! That waffle house you’re looking for is your local Milky Lane. Order a plate of their oh-so-sweet waffles to find out why the dough-based treat is worth celebrating.
Hold a Waffle Eating Contest
So, you’ve talked the rest of the family into celebrating this little-known holiday with you (not that they needed much convincing to begin with). Maybe they even bought into the idea of going out to your local Milky Lane for a plate of waffles. Now what? It’s time to figure out who has the sweetest tooth, and there’s only one way to do that. Order waffles for everyone at the table and see who can down theirs the quickest. What’s in it for the winner besides bragging rights? The chance to order another dessert of their choice!
Whether you like your waffles plain or with enough ice cream and toppings to fill another plate, you can’t deny that there is something to be said for the perfect waffle. Make sure you celebrate International Waffle Day with a plate of dough-based goodness and a generous serving of ice cream to top it off.
