New blog
In my travels in cyberspace I found a new blog. McCucheon’s Maple Updates is a blogspot blog about a sugar bush in Coldwater, ON
They also have a flash website which has a great song playing in the background. Aparently they were very sucessful at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Congradulation!
Though they have not posted very much in the last little while I think that once they see there are other that are creating blogs about maple syrup they might be more keen to keep up.
“Special” Maple syrup
It was new years day and we had a few friends spend the night, It was a great new years and Christmas. On new years day we went out to a place called Disgraceland. I had been there a few times before and was not too impressed. The owner is really nice and I have gone to a metal night there that was fun. There are only three things that are negatives about the bar.
- Beer is expensive
- Food is not worth the money
- Too many hipsters
But Than I saw this on the menu:
WOW espresso infused! I asked the waitress (with the heavy British accent) if it was real maple syrup? Yes it is she said, saying that she had received a lot of maple syrup as gifts during the holidays. “O.K.” I said, “I’ll have the pancakes with “espresso infused maple syrups!”.
When the syrup came to the table I knew right away something was up:
Retail this would be about $6 and the colour, dark is an understatement. Totally NOT maple syrup, I hate that! I really should have known but I really wanted to see what “espresso infused maple syrups!” Tasted like. I know that “espresso infused Aunt Jemima!” does not look very good on a menu. In it’s defense it was “infused” with something. From what I could make out they were small dots of something that were a bit crunchy.
So I did get something a bit different, I received “Coffee Grind Infused Aunt Jemima!”
The pancakes tasted like they were made from a mix too. I should have asked for my money back!
