Oblea

Oblea is a wafer dessert from several countries in Latin America, and has variants across Europe.

They are sometimes served with marmalade, condensed milk, chocolate, raspberry sauce, cheese, coconut or other toppings.

[1][better source needed] It is cooked between two plates (wafer pans), like waffles, or sometimes flattened on an empty reel.

In Algeria in the 1950s (before independence), street vendors offered wafers from Paris.

According to other older lexicographers, the term wafer could have its origin in the Greek word 'obelias' (where the term used by Rabelais comes from) which referred to a long and narrow bread cooked on a grill or between two plates and was sold like a grain of sand to be served at the end of the meal and dipped in wine.
