People use pockets when they eat Brussels waffles.
----------
Is this sentence grammatical? Is the use of 'pockets' here grammatical?

Do you mean they put the food (in this case, waffles) in the pockets of their clothing??
What is meant here by "pockets"?
===================
People use pockets when they eat Brussels waffles.
(There are large pockets on the waffles, so people can add toppings there to eat waffles. Does the sentence above have this meaning? Or does the sentence mean people can put waffles into their pockets or people use their pockets of clothing to eat waffles?)

Writeacher interpreted your first sentence to mean pockets in clothing.
I think you mean --
Belgian waffles have deep pockets that collect butter and syrup.

Thank you for your help. Do you mean that the sentence can have both meanings?
People use pockets when they eat Brussels waffles.
