Like wine sommeliers or coffee snobs, the “waffle gourmand” has a palate heightened through long experience to detect every subtlety of waffle scent, flavor, and texture.
In order to get the most complete picture of a waffle’s unique culinary profile, the connoisseur employs multiple sampling techniques.
These extremely secretive experts are usually reluctant to share their tactics….but every so often a humanitarian appears to break the silence and bring “waffle enjoyment” to the masses!
Every true professional knows the first step is always to check the perimeters to make sure there are no poachers (with or without feathers).With the perimeter secure, the expert gourmand can get into position for the first taste test.The “sideways neck-twist taste test” allows the expert to pick up subtle nuances of the waffle’s overall “flavor profile” using the full range of peripheral senses.From here, the expert moves immediately into position for the next test.The “forward beak bite taste test” allows the expert gourmand to incorporate primary sensations of flavor, scent, and texture into his preliminary peripheral observations.The expert flows from one test to the next, mesmerizing viewers with his grace, poise, and one-pointed focus.The “tiny nibble taste test” aims to sample for consistency across the waffle….a hallmark of the world’s finest waffle chefs.
