I think it's the combination. Waffles tend to be slightly sweet and altho I've never had
packaged waffles I expect they are even sweeter than homemade, most things are. I don't even like cornbread stuffing because it's too sweet for me combined with a savory meat. A slight glaze is ok with savories. ( and I do like Maple syrup) but it seemed bathed in it. I don't in general like very sweet food so it may be a personal taste or my Italian roots where even putting raisins in meatballs is an exotic move.
