For the second year, France Bleu Nord is organizing the competition for the Best Waffle. With Flavors in Gold, the restaurant naked and France 3 Hauts-de-France, France Bleu Nord will award the prize for the best waffle 2022 on Friday April 1st.
For this new edition, it is the jurychaired by Pepe Le Mat, who will select four waffles according to the following criteria: presentation, taste, manufacturing products…
The jury is made up of: Pepe Le Matthe culinary columnist for France Bleu Nord, president of the jury, Philip de Bie (winner of the 2021 edition), Caroline Leclercq (Gold Flavors), Maxime Schelstraete (chef of the restaurant NU), Christophe Lepine (France 3 Hauts-de-France) and Antoine Barege (editor-in-chief of France Bleu Nord) and a listener who participated in the France Bleu Nord game.
Stéphanie de Maing will represent the listeners on the jury
Many listeners participated in the selection to be part of the jury. They had to first answer a quiz and then complete the sentence: the best waffle is the one that…
Stephanie had all the correct answers to the quiz and his definition of the best waffle: “will explode my taste buds thanks to its well-dosed filling in a waffle whose line will be delicate, regular and golden as desired and this one in a “packaging” that will only enhance it!“
Your answers are a hymn to this specialty Hauts-de-France. Here is an anthology of the sentences that marked us (without taking into account the results of the quiz).
The Lille waffle: the soft and sweet taste of childhood memories
Lawrence: Is fluffy but not too much. A good taste of vergeoise, where you can feel a little bit of the crunch of brown sugar. Made in the traditional way (ah the memory of the good Godin fire which heated the dough pieces in winter). And that we tasted still lukewarm to remove “the poison”…. (delicacy)
Julian: The one that recalls the flavors of childhood, which makes us know that we are in the North, no matter where, we taste it in the North.
Anne-Michele : Reminds me of my grandmother’s Sunday brown sugar waffles, which she brought back to me in a little aluminum foil and which she had lovingly prepared in her kitchen with her cast iron waffle iron with small tiles which heated on a spout gas for the pleasure of the whole family … I never found the taste of her waffles and unfortunately she never revealed her recipe.
Marielle : reminds me of those we used to do as a family in the days of my grandmother Célestine. Slightly crispy waffle, and well-dosed filling with Graeff brown sugar. My little personal touch? a tiny bit of rum, and yum, what a treat!
Clemency : Brings me back to childhood, in my grandmother’s kitchen, with all my cousins!!!
The Lille waffle: good products and know-how
Jerome: Must be crispy on the edges, soft in the center and filled with butter with a good vergeoise du Nord.
Lawrence: the best waffle is the one which, although thin and delicate, is as soft as it is plump, and although generously buttered, is as melting as it is fresh in the mouth!
Lawrence: is homemade with local, quality products that we share with those we love!
The Lille waffle: it’s the best and you love it!
Ronald: the best waffle is the one that makes you want to take a second and a third. etc.
Alan: Makes the eyes sparkle… Slightly crackles under the tooth and melts in the mouth, releasing its exotic vanilla flavors!
Jacqueline: makes me want to finish the package 😉
Stephanie: Is made with the heart!
