I haven't really sampled much local maple syrup so I can't really weigh in. There are several sugar houses right near my place. All you need are maples, ha. But I stand by the VT treeskiing! VT Maple Syrup definitely has the "branding" down better than NY, NH, or ME.... who knows if it's better. A Mtn Ops coworker just got back from a Hawaii trip... she said the resort they stayed at gave out little mini bottles of syrup with your pancakes or waffles (because no sharing due to COVID, bringing this discussion on-topic). The syrup said "made in Hyde Park, VT" which is where many of our friends live next to Morrisville. That is literally the only product that you will find in a place like Hawaii or on a cruise or some type of destination vacation... Vermont maple syrup. It's branded well.

I wasn't thinking of it that way, but you are right most folks do associate maple syrup with VT, same as people associate Philadelphia with cheesesteaks and the south with BBQ, but obviously any town in the country could make good BBQ or cheesesteaks if they put in the effort and had the ingredients available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some passionate syrup'ers out there. Like I personally can't tell any differences between whiskey shots (except they start to loosen me up), but some people can name types or even brands based on a sip. That type of dedication seems to happen among syrup too, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianW Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 New Haven thin crust coal fired apizza (ah beets) is where its at.

South Shore Slop Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Seems like that could provide a business opportunity to open a few Antivax clubs. You could offer free drinks to anyone who could provide a positive covid test. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ripping off high young adult dreamers in hip towns is a classic move. This was the freaking local sub shop in rural southern DE. The pizza isn’t even good. Our little town has 2 places that make halfway decent NY-style pizza. At Sandy River Farm Supply we get 2 large, one pep one sausage, and a 2-liter root beer with a bit of change back from our thirty-dollar bill. (Can get groceries, hardware, rope and bar-and-chain oil, too, among many other things.) Don't miss those days, I have PTSD from the conditioning tests 56 years later I still have bad memories of two-a-days in Baltimore's 95/77 wx. One late (11 PM) evening the radio was reporting 86° with 85% rh - TD of 81 with condensation running down the inner side of the masonry walls where we bunked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article that talked about how they tried this in some places in Hawaii, and it ended up being a complete and utter disaster. The restaurants had so many problems that they're no longer enforcing the vaccine requirement. Bill de Blasio is like a Communist Tyrant. To force people to get a vaccine, for a virus that now has a 99.8% survival rate (which the latest data from the UK shows) to participate in society is horrible. A vaccine that has caused some short term serious events like heart inflammation and blood clots, and we don't know about potential long term risks because the proper long term studies (which are supposed to be many years for vaccines) were skipped due to the emergency. The most disturbing thing is de Blasio completely denies natural immunity. Despite the fact that many studies have shown that natural immmunity is as good or even better than vaccine immunity. So he wants to force some people to take the risks of a vaccine when they have absolutely no need for it due to natural immunity. Here is an article that shows statistics from Israel that show that natural immunity has outperformed vaccine immunity in that country... https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
