If you are going to use maple syrup please at least make it REAL maple syrup, not Mrs. Butterworth's or something else like that.For those who can get the real thing. It's just about worth its weight in gold down here. A small jar (250g) can cost easily R75, if you can find it at all.
Liquid gold is better served into a template to create jewelry than ingested.

Remind me the next time you make it to the Summit. Perhaps I can arrange to send some home with you.;-)

hmmmmmm, didn't I say "maple" syrup? Mrs. Butterworth's is pancake syrup, not maple syrop.
Excellent point Jack.
Just wanted to make sure the rest of the Threadizens understood that as well. I mean you are Canadian, right?

Yes I am, eh. I'm Canadian, bit I've never been a big fan of maple syrup.
A number of years ago I was tempted to try my own maple syrup. We had 2 big sugar maple growing close to the house.

Love to, but it wouldn't be allowed through customs on this side. Same with honey, fruit and meat products etc. Otherwise I'd bring biltong when I visit (as a gift)

It's one of the many reasons I prefer to grill my bacon. It's outside and so is the lingering greasy smell. It's easier to get it nice a crispy like I like it. Grease fires on the grill are much easier to put out than grease fires in the kitchen.It makes my neighbors and their dogs (a couple of very large Irish wolfhounds) absolutely green with envy.

For what it's worth, I live only about 30 minutes from the Vermont border -- the maple syrup capital of the world!

You're not talking about Elephant or Zebra biltong, are you?
Based on Wiki it recently became legal to import biltong into the Euro zone. Seems like I need to give it a try... They sell 100g (3oz) for about 5€ (R48 or 6.5USD) over here.

No, just beef to start with, wouldn't want to scare the poor Americans :-D. Kudu biltong is awesome, if you can find a good source (I like my biltong dry). Any biltong ranges from terrible to excellent, depending where it's from.
They sell 100g (3oz) for about 5€ (R48 or 6.5USD) over here.
Not far off what it costs here, depending where you buy it from.
I used to drive through the Free State each year (for aikido camp) and would stop at a biltong shop that's literally in the middle of nowhere (garage, bottle store, biltong shop, nothing else). Awesome stuff and very cheap, but not really worth driving 350km for.
Now I'm craving biltong...

Gail, I was looking up parameter sniffing and found one of your articles on it. So far, yours is the best I've seen on the topic. I like your no-nonsense approach. Thanks! 😎

Binged a recipe for Candied Bacon, just need to figure out what Demerara sugar is.Soft brown sugar. Don't know what name it goes by in the USA.
Turbinado sugar maybe? Anyway it's centrifuged crystallised cane sugar, and I think that's what turbinado is the Spanish for, and I've heard turbinado used in the USA.

I've turned the kids onto chorizo here, and that's supplanted bacon most of the time.
