    I literally cant tell if this is edited, if Google is being dumb, or if people 200 years ago really used the term.

      Given the “how to use a Belgian waffle maker” vid, I think this is a plausible hallucination - I bet the waffle was invented (or the word waffle started being used) in Belgium 200 years ago. Or maybe the Belgian waffle maker was invented 200 years ago?

      From Wikipedia:

      Florian Dacher formalized a recipe for the Brussels Waffle, the predecessor to American “Belgian” waffles, recording the recipe in 1842/43

      Maybe that? Now I want waffles.
