As I mentioned in my Quick Update post the other day, there were a few items I had read press-releases about weeks ago but I simply could not find them in any supermarket I went to. The Tzuriel Pear Goat-Milk Yogurt I reviewed yesterday was one such product. Then there were two Maimon products that I was waiting for. I finally found them this week. One is a Readymade Belgian Waffles and the second is a Pancake Mix .
Ever since Maimon products hit our local store shelves, and won a 2010-2011 Product of the Year Award, I've wanted to taste and review something of theirs.
Being a really big fan of both pancakes and waffles I finally have an
opportunity to write reviews about two Maimon products that absolutely interest
me.
Today I'll review the Readymade Belgian Waffles and later in the week I
hope to post a review on the pancake mix.
The waffles come in a plastic wrapper with 12 mini waffles per
packages. Each
waffle is a 3 inch by 2 inch rectangle.
First I tasted the waffles as is; without warming them up in the
toaster oven, I just dipped them in a bit of maple syrup. I didn’t think it
tasted like a Belgian waffle. Instead I thought it was more like a slightly
sweet sponge cake. 
In my mind waffles are a "breakfast food" and not a dessert
but these waffles seem to be more like a sweet dessert. I happened to have a
one scoop container of Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream in the freezer and I
decided this would be the perfect opportunity to enjoy it. I made myself a little ice cream sandwich, poured some maple
syrup over it, and had a little party :)
Bottom Line: I didn’t dislike these Maimon's Readymade Belgian Waffles
but I don't think they're Belgian Waffles. Toasted, I'd say they make an OK
"cookie" for an ice cream sandwich. So just know you're not actually getting
a breakfast waffle but more of what I would call a readymade "dessert cake
base" type product to "embellish".
I recently came across a post in the blogosphere for a French Toasted Angel Food Cake, it made me think that maybe I should try "French toasting" these waffles just for the fun of:)

ReplyDelete:) Thanks, your sweet!! but I gotta say "looks can be deceiving" it actually looked better than it tasted, sadly you're not missing all that much. Had the waffle tasted better (even as the cookie/wafer I was trying to using it as) I would have enjoyed the sandwich much more than I did but it was a fun idea:)
