Waffles as you know them don’t really exist here. Our waffles are potatoe based. ( that’s POE -TATE-TOE )

I’m pretty sure one of our politicians was laughed at for adding the ‘e’ to potato during a spelling class while visiting a school for a photo op!  In my browser, colour is not flagged but color is, so I must have the Canadian dictionary loaded.  Potatoe is flagged!  Here it is POE-TATE-OH.  Waffles made of potato sound like a product the local fast food outlets push with some of their breakfast offerings.  I understand why ketchup would be necessary.

I’m probably 50 miles (80 Km) north of Milwaukee, WI, and have no charm, but like JCFindley, I have no idea what that joke is conveying.  🙁    I can think of a few possibilities which range from gross to sad.  Some research is in order.
