...Emmert Introduction to Sociology 201612 (10709) Shirley Siegel September 20, 2015 Waffle House has been around for many years. I consider it to be quite a sub culture of its own. They have a unique uniform, their very own language to get orders across. The environment is inviting, open and friendly. The jukebox even has its own Waffle House songs. The experience is very personal every time. After a few trips you instantly start to notice some of the norms around this great little secret society. The uniforms you see when you walk in waffle house are very old style diner like. From the blue striped shirt to the black scarf around the neck. The uniforms at waffle house say happy to be me. Big bright smiley face yellow name tags. Ladies with the black bandana around there hair says old style service with a smile. They certainly have a unique style of their very own. Even the language inside the waffle house is unique and fun. From the time you step in the door with a great big smile they all yell “Hey welcome to Waffle House”. The best part is when you place your order. They could easily say put onions, cheese and ham on the hash browns but that wouldn’t be unique or fun would it? Instead when you ask for these items you will hear scattered, smothered, covered and chunked. Instead of make the round hash browns they yell “one in the ring”. There are many things that after visiting my waffle house for a while you notice as norms. In the morning here there are always a group...

...Because WAFFLETRUCK. In 1831, there was man named Leopold. Leopold loved to sell waffles, so sell waffles he did! It all started in a little horse-drawn carriage, in the “Grand Place” of Brussels. His waffles were magic, enough so that people adored him, and he was crowned King Leopold I of Belgium. Fast forward to 1964, the World’s Fair, and Maurice Vermeersch’s “Bel-Gem” waffle stand. This is where an American love-affair with the Belgium waffle began. The crispy texture, accompanied by the sweet medley of strawberries and whip cream, were revered by New Yorkers. Unfortunately, the flame of waffle-love dimmed while unattended through the 70’s. Cheap diners began serving mushy excuses for waffles. The ways of the Belgium waffle were nearly forgotten. The King of Belgium got word of the sad state of waffle affairs in the United States, and proclaimed, “These waffles are a disgrace to the culinary heritage of our Flemish and Walloon people. We just cannot let this go on.” That brings us to the waffle-guy himself. Thomas DeGeest, previously an undercover IBM Management Consultant, now “Special Envoy for Wafels” to the USA, was given the task of reviving the quality Belgium waffle. A “waffle-surge” annual budget was allotted by the King to Thomas. “With meager funds but with substantial moral support from the Ministry, his wife Rossanna and waffle lovers everywhere, Thomas bought a 1968 Chevy box truck and hit the hot dog and shish kebab jammed jungle of New York City.” Thus...

...Food not only distinguishes and represents a culture, but can also reflect one's personality, lifestyle, and socio-economic status. America is made up of every kind of culture, nationality, and custom. Because America is mainly composed of immigrants and descendants of immigrants, there is no real "American cuisine, only Americanized cuisine and a multitude of cuisines taken from various cultures. The diversity that makes up America's cuisine is as varied as the diversity that makes up America. Also, as there are many cuisines that make up American cuisine, there are also many roles of food in American pop culture. From classifying gender and social status to providing fuel, satisfaction, and excuses, food affects people in many ways. Since I have come to college, I have learned to appreciate Korean food, which I have grown up eating. Korean food is part of the diverse group of cuisines that make up America's cuisine. Although I enjoy almost every type of food, I am partial to Korean food, the cuisine of my native land. One of my two favorite dishes is mandu soon dubu, which is a spicy tofu soup with dumplings cooked in it. The other favorite is dwenjang jjigae, which is a somewhat salty bean curd stew with tofu and various vegetables cooked in it. I like spicy or salty foods, which may explain why these two foods are my favorite, and also why I like seafood so much. When I go to my home in Torrance, I eat Korean food every day. As a result, when I am at school, I crave Korean...

...Waffle A waffle is a leavened batter or dough cooked between two plates, patterned to give a characteristic size, shape and surface impression. Etymology The word “waffle” first appears in the English language in 1725: "Waffles. Take flower, cream..."[2] It is directly derived from the Dutch wafel, which itself derives from the Middle Dutch wafele.[3] While the Middle Dutch wafele is first attested to at the end of the 13th century, it is preceded by the French walfre in 1185; both are considered to share the same Frankish etymological rootwafla.[4] Depending on the context of the use of wafla, it either means honeycomb or cake. History Medieval origins Waffles are preceded, in the early Middle Ages, around the period of the 9th–10th centuries, with the simultaneous emergence of fer à hosties /hostieijzers (communion wafer irons) and moule à oublies (wafer irons).[7][8] While the communion wafer irons typically depicted imagery of Jesus and his crucifixion, the moule à oublies featured more trivial Biblical scenes or simple, emblematic designs.[7] The format of the iron itself was almost always round and considerably larger than those used for communion.[9][10] The oublie was, in its basic form, composed only of grain flour and water – just as was the communion wafer.[11] It took until the 11th century, as a product of The Crusades bringing new culinary ingredients to Western Europe, for flavorings such as orange blossom water to be added to the oublies; however, locally-sourced...

...Final report- Pinehurst Wiffle Waffle team For our project our aim was to design a dry powder-based dairy product, which is either a new range of product or an extension of an already existing range of Easiyo products. We thought this would be a challenging, but also interesting, product to design. Firstly we researched what dry powdered products were already on the market, so that we could familiarise ourselves with all the different kinds of products out there, and also to see what had already been done and which ones looked most enticing to us. We then had a brainstorming session combining all the ideas we had. Out of all the thoughts we discussed we narrowed it down to the five ideas we liked the most: 1. The protein/sports drink 2. Waffles 3. Scones 4. Pavlova 5. Yoghurt We then discussed and researched the positives and negatives of each of these ideas. To help us to decide which one out of our three choices we wanted to continue our project with, we constructed a survey in which we asked a variety of ages which idea they preferred. From our surveys, we found that the waffle mix was by far the most popular and thus we chose the waffle mix to continue our project with. From our market research, we found that present food trends are showing that the population is inclined towards healthy eating, so we decided in our kitchen sessions to experiment with a healthy option, and also a dessert or treat option, and by doing this we would be catering...
