I'll admit that while the gristly gams here look more like pescatarian cat treats in reality, I have no doubt in my mind that these are real Waffle Crisp pieces in both architecture and taste. True to their legacy, these pieces bring a familiar touch of Butterworthy fake syrup, as well as a signal-boosting brown sugar glaze and a Cap'n Crunchian mouthfeel. With a faux-Belgian beginning this strong, it's easy to ignore the flakes and granola clusters, both of which are not only rare but contribute no discernible complexity to the cereal's overall flavor profile—save for a heartier crunch and the occasional loose oat that gets tantalizingly trapped in the patchwork pores of a waffle piece, not unlike a curly fry found amongst the French.
