On this day in 1869, Cornelius Swarthout patented the first U.S. waffle iron, which he called “a device to bake waffles.” In America, we celebrate Waffle Day on August 24 to honor that memorable moment in history. It wasn’t until 1953 that frozen waffles were sold in stores, and there was no pressing need for a waffle iron. Internationally, particularly in Sweden, Waffle Day is celebrated on March 25. Celebrate with a waffle today!
And wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart. Psalm 104:15
