Chef’s Note: I think we can all agree that the most important question to ask here is are these fresh-from-the-iron waffles or freezer waffles? As a foundation for mother-daughter bonding, one would assume homemade. Then again, freezer waffles have their own homey charm, so perhaps such assumptions are unfounded (and perhaps a bit snooty). A waffle iron gets name-checked once, but we also are presented with a visual of a standard toaster on the kitchen counter.
When one reviews the waffles as they appear in each scene, it is clear they vary in shape and size. So perhaps a mix of both are at play? As with so many questions concerning superheroes and the food they eat, we will probably never know. Such disappointments and uncertainties are just something comic book food archaeologists such as myself have to live with every day.
In any case, in a similar vein as that of Batman eating soup, there is something about Batgirl eating waffles that is somehow just perfect.
Chef’s Note: Happy International Waffle Day!
