Obscure waffles

I had thought that waffles were reasonably common in the UK, but their lack of appearance at brunches should have taught me better. As far as I can tell, it is not possible to buy a multi-purpose waffle-making device in this country. Either the small appliance makes waffles and nothing else, or else it only makes other things.

I have only rarely tried waffles in this country and so far have always been disappointed. Two weekends ago I was at a pub serving really good food in Dorset and one of the desserts was pecan waffle with maple syrup and vanilla ice cream, so of course I ordered it. It turned out to be a weird limp pancake with a pattern slightly embossed on it.

The Anvil in Pimperne near Blandford Forum... great otherwise, but the waffles, not so good.
