Don't like the way sausage cooks when it has maple whatever in it. I prefer to cook sage infused breakfast patties and dip in real maple syrup on my pancakes.

I'll take scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, and sausage--pour the maple syrup over the whole plate. Coffee. Bliss.

I have zero use for maple syrup. My dear Mother and I would salt and pepper our hot cakes and waffles. Sometimes we would wrap them around a piece of bacon or a link of simple breakfast sausage.

I agree. Maple syrup flavor just does not please me. Pure Cane Syrup, or Black Strap Molasses on the other hand, is nectar of the Gods. That said, I don't want Pure Cane Syrup flavor mixed in with my sausage either.

you guys are full of it

The brown sugar breakfast sausages are almost tied with the maple for me, along with over easy eggs served on top of crispy hash browns. My wife can't stand a runny egg yolk....its to late for her but I have all 3 of the kids on my side....

Thank god the children were spared.

Runny egg yolks are nasty, just sayin'. I want mine hard fried, nothing runny. YMMV. Wife on the other hand wants her's just warmed up. I jokingly ask her if she wants a straw to eat them with. Seriously, y'all cook 'em how you like 'em, just don't serve me one that's not done. Steaks are made to be served rare to medium rare, not eggs.

No maple syrup in/on bacon and sausage is just plain wrong! Home made smoked BACON made with REAL maple syrup smoked with real hickory. It's nothing like that crap that comes from the store. NOTHING! A good long cure of at least a week makes it just that much better.

did this again whether u like it or not

I likes it.

Yes, they do. It takes a several gallons of maple sap, boiled down to make about a pint of maple syrup. (Roughly 40:1 ratio) I have the spiles (taps) and a turkey fryer, and would like to try it myself. There are quite a few trees you can tap for sap to make syrup. I hear black walnut is excellent.
Personally, I don't like syrup flavored meats. Too sweet.

well its not rockets science.

Breakfast has become dessert in many cases. I.E. pancakes topped with sugary strawberries and whipped cream.

Try mixing applesauce with your loose sausage. Pretty tasty for breakfast. Barry
