Why would you import someone else's produce when you're a leading
agricultural state (although some places do, but Michigan stuff is better
and cheaper) It would be like eating Washington apples or Maine
potatoes...Michigan is a leader in both industries...also, why would a
Michigander eat cane sugar when we grow sugar beets? BTW, real maple syrup
is real maple syrup and there is no distinction between Vermont syrup or
Michigan syrup. Where there is a distinction is when you tap maple trees
that don't get enough cold/warm nights/days...like Indiana, for
example...the sap doesn't have the sugar content necessary to make really
good syrup. We tapped once...it is a lot of work and boiling the stuff down
without the equipment (a still type thing is a tedious process, and since
there is a sugar bush farm around the corner, I just buy it from them.

We have Cracker Barrels in Michigan...but we have real Michigan maple
syrup
which isn't distilled acid rain like Vermont's....

I have to go with Cracker Barrel when I'm down South. We were in South
Carolina a few weeks ago and had a great breakfast at CB. They had
real
Vermont syrup. God bless America.

You'll no doubt be happy to know I just drove through Lousiana,
Alabama,
Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and now S. Carolina with nary a single
lynching. Although I would cheerfully nominate Perkins Restaurants
for
the
dishonor and tie the know myself.

......of course there's still N.Carolina and Virginia yet to go
....

When I was 10 (a million years ago) we drove to Florida in the
days
before
e-ways and had car trouble in GA....we couldn't get anyone to fix
the
car
until after the lynching...was the entertainment of the week....we
were
appalled....that was in 1962.....

I don't see any fun in that.

Makes beer and squirty cheese seem high-brow by comparison.
