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.
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.
