Waffles Day 25. Mars

Scandinivan waffles are thin and made in heartshape. The batter is similar to other varieties. There are American, Belgian, Hong Kong and the LIege waffles. The most common style are sweet, with whipped cream and strawberry/raspberry jam, sugar, on top. Here in  Norway we have slices with brown cheese (this cheese are sweet, yummy) just as a topping. Sausage in the waffle is traditional food from Moss in Østfold and some places in Sweden. The court consists of grilled sausage or wiener sausage that is rolled into waffle. The Swedish tradition dates at least to the 1400s, and there is even a particular day for the purpose, Vårfrudagen ("Our Lady's Day, which sounds like Våffeldagen (waffle day), and is therefore used for the purpose. This is March 25 to celabrate waffel.
