A waffle is traditionally referred to as a Belgian waffle, so it only makes sense that the current form comes from Belgium. This tasty breakfast cake really became known when they were brought to America in the 16th century. But the origins of the waffle date all the way back to ancient Greece, where they started as a simple cake that was flattened between two metal plates. They also used to be way less sugary as they are now, as they were very basic, and contained primarily flour and water with no sweetening or topping. The waffles ancestors were called obelios, however, in the 12th century, the waffle finally got its signature honeycombed shape. It began being called gaufre which translates to wafla meaning “a piece of honey beehive”. Starting in the 16th century, though, is where waffles began to evolve into more of a delicacy, with Milk, eggs, sugar, and honey added to the mix, however, they were only served to the privileged members of society. Luckily for us, some people finally packed up their waffles and came to America. Number 9: French Fries. Our whole life may be a lie because, as it turns out…French fries are not even from France! Then again…they just might be. There seem to be 2 alternates ways in which these potato fritters came to be. It is said that they were actually originally made in Belgium in the late 1600s where they loved to thinly slice fish and fry it. During winter, though, when the lake froze over, it made it hard to access the traditional fish. So for some odd reason, they turned to potatoes and followed the same cooking method. They sliced and fried them, and ended up creating a now mainstay food. During World War 1 is when Americans finally came into contact with them. The soldiers enjoyed them so much that they took them back to their home countries. The confusing thing, though, is that many historians believe that fries actually originated in France. But the first fries there would actually have popped up about a century later, in the 1700’s, being sold by French vendors. Here, they were being called frittes, and were cut into all shapes and sizes. Eventually, Thomas Jefferson tried some in France and brought them with him to the White House. So nobody is certain when and where French Fries got their start, either being Belgium or France. Maybe it was just because calling them french fries has a nicer ring than Belgium fries. But it doesn’t really matter what we call them, as long as we call them delicious. Number 8: Nutella. Next up is a smooth chocolaty cream that can sweeten up anything. But before we learn about it’s history, take a moment to like this video and join the Zero2Hero Community, by clicking the subscribe button below! Nutella is a delicious topping made of cocoa and hazelnuts. While this seems like an easy enough concept, it was not invented until the 20th century. This is a perfect example of “desperate times calls for desperate measures.” Nutella was mixed together due to a lack of food supply during World War 1. That included precious chocolate. Bakers weren’t going to give up that easy, though, so one pastry maker named Pietro Ferrero decided to compromise what he did have. And that…was a whole lot of hazelnuts. Mixing them and cocoa together, Ferrero thus created the first Nutella paste. Generally chocolate was a luxury only the rich could afford. Ferrero wanted to find a way to give the common people a taste of chocolate too. Nutella was definitely more accessible and became a huge success because of that. Nutella is now a huge brand today, and a definite money maker. Ferrero is said to have had a net worth of 28 billion dollars. Who knew that chocolate could make you a billionaire. Number 7: Cheese Cake. Now we have the rich history of a rich dessert. The origin of cheesecake actually dates way back, with evidence supporting it being used during 700 BC for the Greek Olympic games. The cheese made it a great source of energy for the athletes. So in a way, cheesecake could actually be kind of healthy. At least it used to be. The Greeks would just pound together cheese into a smooth paste and then mix in wheat, flour, and honey. The first recorded name of the cake was called Libum. It wasn’t until the Romans conquered Greece that the recipe was modified. The Romans added eggs to the mix, and began serving the dish warm. They then changed the name to libuma.
