There you go, HT....
My editor sends me amazing maple syrup every year...made in Maine.
Once you've had what you have always needed, nothing else even begins to compare. Nothin' like the real thing.
when I was a kid, I hated "maple syrup"...couldn't stand the stuff.
years later, my buddy moved to Vermont and we went up for the wedding. He said, make sure you take a jug back home. I politely declined (after all I hated the stuff). He insisted I try it, so I reluctantly did. HOLY COW! they shouldn't even be allowed to call that corn syrup stuff from my childhood "maple syrup".
ONLY the real stuff for me, from then on!
