Are Waffles a Vegetable?

[Ponytails]

So I was at the grocery store to pickup some basics. OJ, ice cream treats, lettuce, carrots, bananas, and a rotisserie chicken for dinner.  I texted my husband, who was home, asking him what frozen veggies we had because the brand I like was on sale and we usually have veggies with the chicken. Plus I was pretty sure we had corn (his fav) and no peas (my fav).

His response: "We have corn, broccoli, and waffles"

So, I must now ask my arena friends, are frozen waffles a veggie???

(The frozen vegetables are kept on our freezer door. For some reason a box of frozen waffles ended up there too. Which is partly why my sarcastic hubbie stated they must be a veggie. )

No, I don't think so. If they were then stuff like bread and pasta would be, too. And we all know that isn't the case. I think it's the difference between a cucumber and a pickle.

Imagine, though! Growing waffles on farms or in gardens... I wonder if other breakfast foods would be the same? Fields of cinnamon roll sprouts, shoots of french toast from the ground, acres of pancakes and muffins... for once I feel these are oddly appropriate

My husband maintains that waffles are closer to being a vegetable then brocolli (which he dislikes but I enjoy).

Wheat is a grain, waffles are a carbohydrate product. Although potatoes can bridge the gap from veg to carb, I don't know if I could allow waffles a pass. Although they are in the category of "eat some every day"...

But to make waffles you can use vegetable oil as an ingredient.  And to make choccie waffles, cocoa powder that comes from beans and sugar from beets.  So yes, a veggie.

Waffles are in my vegetable group! I religiously eat taiyaki with black bean paste xD

This has got to be one of the most interesting topics I've seen lately.

My opinion? No idea.   But now I want waffles.....with tons of maple syrup.

If you mean 'waffle' as a verb 'to waffle' then yes a waffle could be a vegetable cooked in such a manor. Vegetables made into a flour or flour-like substance/consistency (ex. mashed peas or corn flour) I would mostly count as a carbohydrate. Especially if it has to become a slurry mixture first. BTW, zucchini waffles with a buttery sriracha sauce and fried chicken is a wonderful meal.

Well, if waffles grow on waffle trees they better come in different flour types because some of us cant have normal wheat >>

MA is a sad, now >>
