No french toast?

No, I don't care for it. But the waffles were excellent--crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. With real maple syrup, of course. None of that Log Cabin or Aunt Jemima stuff for me!

It's been my experience that most makers (around here at least - Minnesota) of real maple syrup stop boiling it too soon, leaving too high a water content so as to have more product left to put in the bottles. It ends up too watery and devoid of the rich, deep flavor and texture I remember from the real maple syrup I tasted in my youth, which came from a now-defunct maker in western Wisconsin.

I prefer a brand sold by WalMart called Roddenberry's Butter-Maple syrup. I like it better than the real thing or any of the national brands I've tried.
