As child growing up in Belize I would often go to the market with my friend whose mother ran a small restaurant. On the menu of course were Belizean-style waffles served with a side of refried beans and Belizean stew chicken (no recado). The waffle pairings in Belize tend to be more on the savory side including topping them with freshly grated soft cheese.
