What's the deal with Eggo® waffles?

In the frozen food case at the local Safeway there was a photocopied sign taped to the door mentioning a short term nationwide shortage of Eggo brand frozen waffles.

What's up with that?

Listeria, is what.

Plant closures, recalls, plant cleanings ....... not good for Kellog's, huh?

1. Makes me want a waffle maker

I hope Santa is listening!

franksolich hopes Santa's listening to Grandma, who wants a chest freezer, but the skinflint tightwad surly bone-chewing Alfred Packer, the hippyhubby, won't get it for her.

3. Between this and the Canned Pumpkin shortage

It's surely the harbinger of the End Times.....   

Commercial Foods all been going downhill since Thomas stopped making the Date Nut Bread. And don't even get me started on the reformulation of Quaker Natural Cereal.

4. I knew it was the End Times starting when our Safeway stopped carrying Stella D'Oro products.

Damned good thing we know how to cook, huh?

6. We're boycotting Stella D'Oro Stink

They're union busting. I think they just decided to close down their factory that was striking. Evil Bastards....Can't even have a decent cookie anymore without some corporatist bastard ruining it.

5. canned pumpkin shortage?

I guess that explains why I had to buy a can of organic pie filling that made an awful, horrible pie.

7. Yes last years harvest was ruined

The canned pumpkins we can get now are from last years crop which failed due to heat. From what I understand this years crop is not doing better so buy pumpkin when ever you see it. I'm stocking up because I enjoy it as a "fruit" mixed with my morning oatmeal or in smoothies. I couldn't even find a can until October and now all I'm seeing are the smaller Organic cans which I'm OK with.

10. I thought the pumpkin shortage was a marketing ploy...the shelves here are full of the stuff. I think the Libby's people cooked this up.

Where we shop they now have canned pumpkin stacked halfway to the ceiling. The week before Thanksgiving they were out, because people heard about a shortage and started hoarding.

I'm sorry, but it makes me laugh that a shortage of Eggos is such big news.  Seriously, they are frozen waffles, hardly an essential food.

Ya know, the only "humans" and I use the term loosely, that ever wanted Eggo's, are my grandkids.

"Toots" makes outstanding homemade waffles in our vintage 8x8 waffle iron, a hand me down from my maternal "Nana". The only reason they want to have to do with Eggo's, sprouts from the stinkin' commercials they flood them with on Nick cable.

My mom bought some Eggos for my niece last time she was here.  I got the last of them and it was like eating waffle-flavored plastic.

I have a cheap waffle iron... its worth the trouble to get it out.  Waffles are easy: half a cup of flour, a cup of milk, one egg, a teaspoon of baking powder, and a tablespoon of sugar.

Yup, it is definitely worth the time to make homemade waffles over Eggos.

My kids like them but I hadn't bought them since we moved to CA. Went to the store last week and they only had the chocolate chip waffles which I won't buy.  If I eat waffles I feel like I'm hypoglycemic or something.

I can't find Pop Tarts that aren't covered in frosting anymore.  When I was a kid, they were plain with sugar sprinkled on top.  I enjoyed them when we got them (usually only during summer vacation, which was more than enough) but I don't buy them anymore because now they come with a pound of sugared icing on top of them.  Nasty.

The two-hour sugar high.  Push them out the door and let teacher deal with the glycerin crash. :-)

I hear diabetes is on the rise -- I'm not surprised.  But I miss Pop Tarts that actually had some semblance of flavor.

I like the brown sugar pop tarts (with the frosting) but I don't eat them for breakfast. I eat them more as an infrequent treat.

I haven't bought L'eggos since my kids were in elementary school.

I take a couple of minutes and stir up the batter, let it sit for a few minutes to poof up....and make them in the waffle iron. takes all of about 15 minutes......

For what you spend on these tasteless, plastic waffles in a month you could probably buy a waffle iron. Make a bunch at one time, freeze them and pop them into the microwave or toaster...voila! breakfast.

I was sure I had a waffle maker around here somewhere. I'll have to dig around some more. I was going to make up a big batch of waffles, and then freeze them. Crocko Waffles!

BTW, I just last night saw canned pumpkin going cheap by the case on Amazon.com, which is a pretty good source for some grocery items if you go for the super saver free shipping. I have a half gallon of Vermont maple syrup due to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow, for about half the price of what you can buy "Vermont maple syrup" for anywhere in Vermont.

It is actually in two one-quart jugs. One pours it liberally over ones pancakes, freedom toast, and homemade frozen waffles. Also very good for making acorn or butternut squash.

Ok, well, packaged in smaller jugs make sense.  It just seemed like a significant amount of syrup.  I don't use much syrup.  I am more of a molasses person, but I don't use much of that either.

I forgot to mention you should probably add half a teaspoon of salt, and cut the amount of baking powder in half.
