You’re talking to a Brit mate. They’re not known for their culinary excursions.

Plus, half of those were invented in the US.

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.

Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too

Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort

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.

Yeah I’m from the Great Lakes region and it’s so weird. I enjoy fried chicken, I dig waffles… even maple syrup on them is fine (though honey is better on chicken, esp truffle or hot honey).

But putting them together is like basically having double the breading on the chicken, except one half is crispy and the other half is all spongey and wrong. It dilutes the flavor of the chicken, and then why would I ever want a meaty waffle? The sum is far less than the parts IMO.

Tbf, I hate all syrup

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.
