Mrs. Butterworths

How happy were my children today when they sat down to buttermilk pancakes and "real" syrup, brought fresh from Washington, D.C.  Here in Scotland most folks pour a sweet concoction called Golden Syrup on their waffles, but unlike haggis,  we haven't quite taken to it.  It was a wonderful morning.  Ryan made the pancakes this morning and brought four syrup bottles back with him on his flight yesterday.  I don't think they will last the weekend.  Don't fret, however,  because we still have a supply of Nutella and whipped cream that can help to fill our daily empty calorie quota.



Reality:  Real maple syrup costs four times as much as the processed corn syrup.  My kids and wallet prefer the fake stuff, but I am still a deliciousness advocate. I can appreciate Mrs. Butterworth, but will always prefer mother nature's maple syrup.

  1. I love maple syrup that you make from extract, so I guess that is in between the real stuff and the stuff they make with corn syrup.
