Hi, i'm curious to find out just how many pancakes you eat, after all Canada is the home of Maple Syrup

This topic has recently been hammered at pastylover, look here http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...hlight=treacle

I disagree ....... that topic was actually maple syrup vs treacle.....which turned out to be golden syrup rather than treacle in the end

Pancakes are certainly on the breakfast menu in eating places I have been to

We had some when we stayed at our friends' too.....made up from a packet

Dead easy to make if you want to try before you go!

Ask for a stack or a short stack in a diner.....highlight of any trip!

You dont have to save it for pancakes...its good with waffles, and frenchtoast (eggybread) and bacon. Hmmm, only problem is its not very cheap, about $8 for a bottle, but you can buy it blended with regular table syrup for a lot less, and thats almost as good

Huge big stacks of pancakes soaked in maple syrup at every meal in Alberta ... served with a moose steak

Or tap your own if you have sugar maple trees in your yard. When we lived in Ontario and tapped our own trees, we did mix it together with regular ms.....to make it go further. Straight ms can be a little over powering.....

Excellent with waffles and frenchtoast....but make sure it doesn't hit your scrambled eggs.....ugh!!!!! save those for the ketchup......

It seems that mine, and everyone elses, older brothers used to have contests to see how many they could eat in a morning. I can't remember the number but it was always A LOT (36 maybe? about 5 inches in diametre? I can't remember...) -- and these are Canadian pancakes (I'm not sure if you know but thet are different than British pancakes).

Personally I eat them only occassionally - buckwheat banana pancakes with a maple syrup - blueberry sauce - Yum! (I don't like maple syrup straight up).

Same here. I was born and grew up in Canada (East coast then West) and as a child we used to eat pancakes on the weekend, usually only once a week. But not always with syrup. I like them with bananas, brown sugar, or raspberry jam. I don't have them with maple syrup very often, in fact, I hardly have pancakes anymore.

I'm trying to like maple syrup but I just can't. Will Customs and Immigration turn me away next weekend?

Might want to learn a few Gordon Lightfoot songs to hum......just in case and wearing a toque with a hockey emblem on it would be an added bonus.....

Who's Gordon Lighfoot??

I don't use Canadian maple syrup but syrup from Vermont. Love the stuff and being diabetic now use the one with splenda in place of sugar. Either way I use it on more than breakfast foods.

LOL - you know what a toque is but not who GL is? Here you go if you're interested:

Okay, I guess he was big when I was a baby.... Is that folk he sings??
