The experts being my 11 and 12 yo stepsons. No school today so the boys wanted eggs, bacon and waffles to celebrate. I got out the Steen's Cane syrup that I bought online after a recent thread here. I wanted to see what had all you Southern boys so excited. The boys tried some on their waffles, said they really liked it, now can they have their maple syrup. I tried it, I really like it. I probably don't like it quite as much as maple syrup, but maybe that's just regional loyalty. IMO it's the only kind of pancake syrup I've ever tried that's even on the same planet with real maple syrup. I guess we'll continue to keep some around.
I growed up so far back in the woods, I didnt know they made maple syrup until I was a teenager. Never heard of getting syrup from a tree, except sweet gum syrup and I never like it!
Of course, even as late as 20 years ago they didnt sell real maple syrup in this part of the country. That a johnny-come-lately product down here.
