Waffles are authentically Norwegian. I think it's funny that the standard Norwegian waffle is heart-shaped. I asked Carl about a heart-shaped waffle iron I found in the kitchen. He said it was a gift from the family he stayed with at Christmastime. I've since learned that the heart-shaped iron is something nearly every Norwegian family owns. They like to spread them with jam (I haven't yet found syrup), and they usually eat them as a treat and not for breakfast.
Some pictures of our family eating vaffler (waffles):
