New Product Review:

Eggo French Vanilla Waffles

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 10/29/2006

I like pure maple syrup on my waffles, so I was a bit concerned that that vanilla flavor cooked into the waffles would create flavor confusion when mingled with my syrup. Good news! No flavor confusion and no flavor overload. You definitely notice the vanilla, but luckily it adds to the waffle experience instead of dominating it.

I'd buy these waffles again if they were on sale. It's always nice to have frozen waffles around the house for hurried mornings, or even as an evening snack. Would Eggo French Vanilla Waffles be my first choice at the supermarket? No. But I'm a waffle-purist. I like an unassuming waffle that lets the topping get equal or top billing. Vanilla waffles, as presented by Eggo, are in a side-category, part of the waffle family, but like a cousin that keeps saying "Look at me, I have a certain talent." You like to hang out with that unique cousin for a while, but despite any admiration you have for his talent, eventually you want to get back to your core family, the people, or in this example, the waffles that don't call attention to themselves. They're just who they are... friends, family, waffles.

The short review: If you like vanilla and you like waffles, you'll like these vanilla waffles.
