Now I really like marmalade on peanut
butter. Livens up the flavor IMO. Now I do make my own marmalade with
lots and lots of peelings. And peanut butter with garlic, soy sauce and other stuff
is great on noodles. I like real maple syrup (grade b) but I am certainly going
to look for Golden Eagle syrup after your description. I have some Alga on the
shelf but was not actually sure what to do with it. And then I do have
honey of several varieties. Speaking of honey.. I bottled my plum
mead yesterday. Seemed okay but too sharp on the alcohol. A year
maturing will fix that. I used Beauty Plums. If I use those again I
will put in a few cinnamon sticks.. the flavor needs some wake up. The
Mirabelle mead I made last year had more character. Naomi "Few people are capable of

nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Dr. Lucky Pittman Steve, It’s not just
Europeans. I find maple syrup
– the real thing, as well as maple-flavored syrup – or any thing
maple-flavored, including bacon(what a blasphemy! It’s supposed to
be Growing up in UCLA
(upper corner of lower Alabama) in the ‘50s/’60s,
‘syrup’ - at least in my family, was either cane syrup(AlaGa or
Cane Patch), corn syrup(dark Karo), or my (still)favorite, Golden Eagle
syrup(Yellow Label is a close second, if you can’t find Golden Eagle),
which is a mixture of corn syrup, cane syrup, and honey. THICK and sweet
– makes the very best pecan/hickory pies in the world, and doesn’t
make your pancakes/waffles a soggy, sodden mess, like that nasty
maple/maple-flavored ‘pancake’ syrup. Log Cabin or Aunt
Jemimah? Doesn’t matter to me – if those are my choices,
I’ll do without. Was discussing this
thread with a co-worker yesterday, and she brought up the ‘peanut
butter’ angle and the apparent disgust Brits have for it –
but, I’d have to think that if my ‘jelly’ choice was orange
marmalade, I might not care for a PB&J sandwich either. Lucky Pittman Son of the South In my experience, the North American food that has gotten
the strongest reaction from European visitors is maple syrup---they (with a few
exceptions) consider it disgusting--gaggingly vile. One might like
to think that Aunt Jemimah were to blame, but I only use the real stuff and the
reaction has been the same. Steve Herje SW WI
