Eva: Making things waffle-shaped does not make them waffles. In order for them to be waffles, they also need to taste like food.

Ian: The waffles do provide little squares for me to organize all the different reasons I don't like this sandwich.

Ian: One good thing about having waffles for bread is it's easy to get a good grip on this sandwich. You know, for when you hurl it at a nemesis.
