It's International Waffle Day today. Every year, on March 25, waffle lovers celebrate this classic food. And why not? Thick, fluffy and crunchy with deep pockets for holding gooey syrup or butter, waffles can be a standout on most tables.

Basically, there's no limitation to the kind of flavours you can create.
Waffles are so versatile that they can be topped off with anything sweet or savoury; it just depends on your imagination, or what you are craving. So, without much ado, let's get down to some of the most popular toppings to make that waffle fancy and delish.
