Maple Syrup

A couple of months ago my local grocer was going out of business. When they got to the point of being 75% off on items I figured I’d stock up on spices and the like. I noticed that they had pure maple syrup so I bought a couple of bottles. I have to be honest with you, I never really tasted much of a difference to justify the difference in price between real maple syrup and the Aunt Jemima stuff. Still didn’t.
The real maple syrup ran out last week. I just had my first pancake with the old Aunt Jemima and it tastes like crap…

Yeah, I grew up on the fake stuff but can’t do it now. The real stuff is pricey, but I don’t eat enough of it to notice. Usually a tablespoon or two in a recipe.

Makes a bigger difference in cooking than pancakes I think. I always have both. My uncle makes his own and gives me some.

Go to a pure blue ribbon cane syrup. No, it's not maple, but it's light years ahead of the corn syrup crap.

Like I said, I didn’t notice the difference when I switched to the maple. There was no moment where I said “Wow!” In fact, I was disappointed that I didn’t notice a bigger difference. It was going back where I noticed…

Yes, for those of unrefined palate.

Dude I know your southern sensibilities make you partial to bacon-infused brown sugar and what-not but the Canucks are really the experts here.

I've been through Canada. Food is hot, brown and plenty of it. Seasoning is mostly unheard of, except in an urban setting in an immigrant community. Sweet Jesus, they even put butter on sandwiches, no less!
Maple syrup is ok, but real syrup...Well, if you mix real syrup half and half with Jersey cow cream in an eight inch plate, then drag a cathead biscuit through it, the biscuit will tear in half before reaching the other side of the plate.
Get yourself a couple of those, a six inch piece of smoked link and a half-dozen fresh rooster bullets, and you will immediately acquire a steely gaze, a stiffer spine, somewhat courteous manners and an overwhelming urge to whistle Dixie.

Conventional wisdom these days says refined sugar is not as healthy; unrefined is better.
