I'm reviewing the waffle ony, which I wanted to use with a different chili recipe. I expected this to be more like cornbread-in-a-waffle. It isn't. In fact, one hardly tastes the cornmeal at all The waffles are far too neutral and diminish the chili instead of enhance it. The texture isn't right for this combination either -- too crisp and dry. Since I'm not rating the chili, I'd give 2.5 stars if I could.

The waffles do need a little flavor. I added a bit of chili powder. The chili......very bad. Never would dream of putting beans or tomatos in chili. So I used my recipe. Great concept I just ran with it with my own chili and a spicier waffle.
