McWaffle
your Scottish plaid as a waffle | |
Name your clan, and McWaffle will create it as a waffle pattern and
enclose a set of specially coloured jams to supplement the package.
Once you cook your waffle, to complete the tartan plaid, simply add lines of
the appropriately coloured jam using the special piping applicator.

Excellent complimentary idea. |

<dress pedant>‘Plaid’ refers to the garment made of a large sheet of wool, (lit. ‘blanket’), of whatever colour or pattern, wrapped around the body or shoulders. ‘Tartan’ is the usually accepted modern term for the check pattern, or the fabric bearing that pattern. So you can have a plain plaid, a stripey plaid, a tartan plaid. You can have a tartan plaid, a tartan carpet, a tartan shortbread tin. ‘Tartan waffle’ describes this idea. A ‘plaid waffle’ could be any colour or pattern you like, but it would have to be made from woolen cloth.</dress pedant> |

Plaid is a commonly accepted vernacular, as unworn by dead men. |

Is it my fault that general usage is wrong? |
