Are they called belgian waffles or belgium waffles?

Question

Ive seen it written both ways. sooo which is it?

Well if everyone thinks it's Belgian, (as would make sense), why does it say Belgium Waffles on the menu at my University Dining Hall?! its driving me crazy. im going to make them change it.

Answer 1

I always thought it was belgian. But then, I always thought it was old fashioned not old fashion.

Answer 2

The Belgian waffle (also referred to as the "Brussels waffle") often refers to a waffle that is less dense, crispier, has larger partitions and a larger volume than the traditional waffle. They are often served as a breakfast, with the same topping choices as a traditional waffle. More often than the traditional waffle however, they are served with fruits, whipped cream or ice cream, sometimes served as a dessert. While the thickness is the most commonly accepted difference between the Belgian waffle and the traditional waffle, the use of yeast and beaten egg whites in most Belgian waffle recipes, as opposed to baking powder in the traditional waffle recipe, gives them a lighter and crispier texture.

Answer 3

Belgian waffles. Belgium is a country, a noun. You'd want an adjective to describe a noun, so Belgian fits.
You wouldn't say Italy olive oil; you'd say Italian olive oil.
