Today the celebration of International Waffle Day gains more and more popularity around the world in the name of this lovely confectionery-waffle. In the waffle-loving country Norway, people celebrate it as well. But not only on 25th of March, waffles can be eaten any day. There are various ways of enjoying waffles, and the most typical Norwegian way is eating waffles with brown goat cheese(brunost). It seems only Norwegians enjoy this brown cheese with a big passion, while many people from the other countries don’t have goat chesse in that taste. Visitors often say that it tastes sweet and savoury, together with a caramel taste, a description that Norwegians may not be completely satisfied with. They will just give you a slice of brown cheese and promote with confidence “Try it!”
Today in cafes or kiosks, you will find more options for waffles on menus, which is a good opportunity to explore the world of waffles. And you can also make your own waffles.
