I ordered chicken and waffles at a small diner one time, it was my first time trying it. My server gave me half a chicken (literally) that had been deep fried and a pile of waffles that had to be at least 6 inches high. Best $13 I've ever spent but I've been afraid to order them ever since
A side of chicken gravy would make it complete.
Having grown up where gravy was the norm, it hurts every time I see a restaurant serving it without gravy as an option.
Sweet things and meat is very strange to see from the UK perspective
Orange/Lemon chicken?
Teriyaki anything?
Sweet and Sour pork?
Hawaiian pizza?
Lua pig?
You're talking to a Brit mate. They're not known for their culinary excursions.
Plus, half of those were invented in the US.
You mean food with any amount of flavor or spices?
Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too
I dunno, I’ve seen what a full English looks like! :)
Just piling on, mint jelly on lamb? Honey or cherry glaze on ham? Applesauce with pork chops?
do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?
They definitely exist here, waffles just come across as quite dessert-coded to us. British Chinese cuisine is its own separate adaptation of Chinese cuisine though, rather than just being American Chinese.
Midwesterner here.... It's weird to me too.
You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.
This just two otherwise regular foods served together.
Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort
USAmerican here - I’ve tried that chicken waffle thing twice, and it’s pretty revolting. 1/10 would rather go hungry.
Tbf, I hate all syrup. Sorry, Canada

Ah, so you just can't taste well. What a shame. Disabilities should never be held against anyone, you can't help an inability to taste.
Wait, chicken and waffles come with maple syrup too?
This is a must.
They sure do in my kitchen. :)
Maple syrup is my favorite way. A local place used to do a cayenne and black pepper maple syrup, and it was delicious!
I’ve never done tendies from scratch, but can make a good batch of nuggies with a bit of panko.

Oh yeah, I have a toddler, so those aren’t from scratch. But the waffle is. I love that little waffle iron!
