Originally, March 25th was known as \u201dSpring Day\u201d \u2013 a religious holiday that celebrated the Annunciation. The words sound very similar (Spring Day\/Waffle Day) if said quickly.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gave us Swedes reason to start a welcome celebration in honor of the waffle in the way we recognize it today. But we are not alone \u2013 in our neighboring countries the custom is similar. And even out in Europe \u2013 who has not enjoyed Belgian waffles in Brussels or Austrian \u201dWaffeln\u201d at a ski resort in the Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is therefore a wide range of different types of waffle irons throughout Europe. So no matter what type of waffles you prefer \u2013 be it thin crispy or thicker, hearty waffles, Belgian waffles or yummy ice cream waffles \u2013 waffle lovers can always find a good waffle iron for it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, sales of electrically heated waffle irons in Sweden increased by a full 25 percent. In addition, a lot of waffle irons are sold that are heated directly on the stovetop, wood stove or over an outdoor fire. So the conditions for a truly nationwide waffle day look good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\/\/Kent Oderud<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vi firar nu v\u00e5ffeldagen, som har sina r\u00f6tter i en h\u00e4rlig svensk tradition som g\u00e5r tillbaka \u00e5rhundraden.
