And congrats Al (no matter how you reached the 20k mark)!

thank ya!

Indeed. Only Quebec makes more maple syrup than Vermont (Like almost 10 times as much). Vermont is also known for skiing.

Huh... don't think I have ever had Quebec maple syrup..but it has been awhile since we have bought the real stuff.

When it comes to maple syrup, we like the grade B the best. It's harder to find than the grade A but has a deeper, richer taste. We get ours online from some place in...Vermont!

We use the real thing most of the time... but when grand kids are around, the pancake syrup comes out of the pantry. Real maple syrup is too dear to let the kids slosh it onto their plates, then dump it in the sink.

exactly why I don' serve it. 5 bottomless pits really just want quantity not quality.

So, we keep the quality hidden, and only bring it out when they are not around. As a matter of fact I can get away with setting the pancake syrup on the table, and then sneaking the maple syrup onto my pancakes straight out of the fridge without the 11 year old even figuring it out cause she's too busy hoovering pancakes at the table!

Stopped using the fake stuff when I moved to Vermont in '79. I didn't know I was eating fake stuff. The bottle of Log Cabin wasn't labeled "Fake maple syrup. The real stuff is MUCH better and in no way comparable to our corn syrup"! Too much of a difference to touch the fake stuff now. I won't even bother with pancakes or waffles at a restaurant unless maybe they have some fruit based syrup.

They changed the name of the different grades to make them more descriptive. I could remember Fancy, Grade A, B, C and how they relate to one another. I don't think I'll ever remember the new ones. First they are ALL "grade A" (except for "processing grade" that I doubt you could buy anyway) which makes that part worthless:

• Golden Color and Delicate Taste: With a light-golden hue, this delicate and mild tasting syrup is a favorite on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, and more.
• Amber Color and Rich Taste: This amber colored syrup has a full-bodied and rich flavor. This grade is great as a topping and in coffee & tea.
• Dark Color and Robust Taste: Stronger and darker than the lighter grades, this has a robust and substantial flavor that is ideal for grilled, glazed, or baked dishes. (Formerly known as Grade B.)
• Very Dark Color and Strong Taste: This strongest maple syrup flavor is typically used as an ingredient for flavor and sweetening.

I grew up using molasses on pancakes and french toast, so would probably enjoy the darkest!

I remember my grandmother making a great treat for us with molasses. Mix peanut butter, molasses, and butter together, spread it on toast!
