Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Karo Syrup

Awesome stuff! Quite possibly the best stuff ever invented to put on pancakes, waffles or even ice cream! Been eatin' it since I was a yungin. Way better then Ant, yo mama

Google's voice pronunciation thing says it's CAR-oh

Use some with brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk and butter to make the best Carmel corn.

Don’t forget about the dibeetus!

damn, havent had Karo in ages. I ued it on my pancakes since we were broke as kids.

in HS we all figured out its the original poor mans (kids) spanish fly.
Mix 2 part Karo and a good pinch of cayenne pepper, a crushed children's aspirin, in 5 parts bourbon.

let sit a couple days. Serve warm, not hot.

Google obviously doesn't live in the south.

Don't use it myself
Where my folks are from, everybody had a
patch of sugar cane along with their tobacco
and corn and vegetables.
Take wagon loads to whoever had a syrup mill
and get it pressed for a toll, just like the
grist mill did. Most would cook the juice off
themselves and the syrup would go in big jars
or jugs or lard cans or whatever they had.
Nobody used anything but ribbon cane syrup
for a puh-khan pie until around my generation.

Corn syrup came into use because it's cheap
and because of the scarcity of real proper sugar
during the wars we've been involved in, not
because it's better in any way.
My parents generation on back didn't use
anything other than natural sweeteners such
and cane sweeteners or honey, and somebody
with diabetes was a rare thing.
If you're old enough to have ever had a cold drink
with real cane sugar instead of nasty corn syrup
or HFCS you'll know exactly what I mean
