Potato waffles

Pugins

I know I know, they're hardly the greatest food ever invented but kinda miss them. And so handy for kid's tea. Anyone seen these or similar in Australia?

csm

Ha! Here 6 months and I'm craving these!

Sorry can't help but I'll watch with interest

as shocking and unfortunate this is my heart goes out to all you waffle lovers but I wonder what the green isle potato waffle company will say.

Fight on! I use to love a burger with mayo and a waffle.

Waffles were my favourite thing to eat at home and I craved them badly until I went back at Christmas. I've never been so disappointed with the realisation of how bland they actually, I was actually gutted

RIP waffles

Cupcake.

Mmmmm waffles.....:pac::pac::pac:

I sorted my barry's tea craving by shipping over 8 boxes....not sure the waffles would make the journey in a piece

Zenno I applaud your efforts!!

yes I have noticed lately that the birds eye waffles were not the same crispy ones as they used to be but then I changed to green isle waffles and they were lovely and now they have gotten bland as well. it seems that they are not using the same ingredients as they used to or something like that or maybe the potato's are just not as good as they used to be. also they are pale white now even after cooking so theres something wrong there.

maybe it's time to get in touch with the manufacturers and see whats gone wrong with the quality lately.

Glad I'm not alone in missing waffles but looks like I'll have to wait till I get home to sample them again

jimthemental

Damn. They'd be so handy to cook in the hostel, make up an omlette with beans and throw the waffles in the toaster.:mad:

Try the hash browns from ALDI in the toaster

Mellor

Aldi apparently sell waffles..i'll investigate further

Waiting with bated breath for reports on the Aldi 'waffles'.....

As am I! I just asked the sister the other day what the first thing she'd eat when she got home would be and she said waffles. Now all I can think about is feicin' waffles! Dammit. I thought I saw them in Woollies the other day but they turned out to be Hash Browns parading in a waffle-esque box. Gah.

sonic.trip

Been missing these for breakfast too, but the coles hash browns are not too bad grilled from frozen, closest your going to get I suppose.

That only applies to Bird's eye waffles

Had to get on with my life and move on from the waffles.
Birds Eye, Bubble and Squeak is where it's at!!

Still haven't given up on the waffles.

Came across Pommes in the freezer aisle of my local Woolworths. Look nothing like waffles but are almost a passable substitute taste -wise.

Slidey

On a similar vein, anyone seen onion rings (the frozen type)

Great with steak and wedges

Coileach dearg

Ah no! I'm here drooling all over my keyboard at the thought of lovely potato waffles (cooked under the grill or in the oven) in a white bread sandwich with a little bit of butter for breakfast.
Why did ya have to bring up this thread!

I still haven't seen any potato waffles out here but I gave up hope a while back :mad:

Slitey, Onion rings are fairly easy to find. As far as I can remember the misses got them in Woolworths once.

2 years later and I can confirm that Aldi do sell potato waffles.

Day made!

I was in Ireland this year and sadly I had built waffles up to much in my head. Bitter dissapiontment, might be the fact I didn't do them myself

Spud shed also has them. They have bags of mini ones for $2.99 (approx 30), industrial size 2.5kg blue translucent bags are available for $6.99. Said I'd try the mini ones first and they're excellent.

Perth..I'm guessing you don't live there?

Cold miserable wet weather probably make waffles taste better.

They are quick to cook and get a bit of heat (pronounced heeaate) into the body quick.

Finally got to Spud Shed and I agree the mini waffles are great!

Getting my partners family to try them was a bit tough....they don't know what to make of them. Once they tried them....they realised how good they were. I need to stay off them for a few days now I think.
