fake>real simple as

Imagine greentexting incorrectly.

>>14260645
>imagine not being a faggot

>>14260644
I don't believe that anyone who says "simple as" even eats maple syrup.

>>14260653
well now you do

>eating tree cum

>>14260654
Now I do what?

>>14260654
Nobody who eats maple syrup prefers the fake stuff.

>>14260635
I don't buy products with blacks on them. I also try not buy products made by blacks as well. I mean, that's just exploiting labor.

The real shit sucks.

>>14260651
>greentexting imagine

Picky eater here. Real maple + butter is 100x better than the fake shit, which is what I grew up on like many Muricans.

That butter flavored shit is fucking vile, bought it once by accident and had to throw the rest away. Never again.

>>14260635
cane syrup > m*ple syrup

this is some next level shit

Nothing compares

grade b is better. the brown sugar of maple syrups

>>14264369
I usually get this but I probably eat pancakes like once a year or even less.

>>14262828
Aunt Jemima isn't even real maple syrup

>>14264369
>Grade B Dark

I used to get the darkest maple syrups, but they recently changed the grading system to some arbitrary standard of "quality" instead of color (thank you retarded average consumer) so now everything, even shitty syrup on the shelves just call themselves "Grade A"

>>14264413
So aunt Jermaine is like the transsexual of modern society?

the best maple syrup is the bottle you buy off your friend that runs a farm down in new england

Sugar free syrup has 90% of the taste of real maple syrup and only 1/10th of the calories. Why would you ever eat regular syrup?

Imagine not making your own grade c syrup

>>14264847
Or just use maple syrup or fruit

Lads how do I learn to stop liking fake corn sugar more than real tree sap?

>>14265161
add butter to you maple 'rup, you should be heavily buttering your p'kes and 'fles anyway

If your maple syrup doesn't come from a can it's not real maple syrup.

>>14264689
Do you consider mascots to be members of society?

>>14261066
You have shit taste

>>14264381
French toast is superior

>>14260635
Tree syrup and corn syrup are the same exact thing. t.canadian

>>14264413
It never claims to be maple syrup.

>>14260660
Only if you started with real stuff first.

If you have eaten real maple syrup for years and suddenly try the fake stuff, it's garbage.

But if you have only eaten the fake stuff for years, you probably aren't going to be a fan of the real stuff as it will taste "wrong".

>>14267619
If you think they're EXACTLY the same, you are simply, a moron.

There are flavor difference between different grades of maple syrup, let alone the difference between real and fake syrup.

Darker real maple syrup is generally closer in flavor to the fake stuff though.

>>14264369

They dropped grade B a while ago because dumb people would only buy grade A because they thought the grading meant it was better.

Grade B is now called Grade A Dark and Robust.

>>14267647
Correct
Infograph related

>>14264643
>>14267647
It was a scam to put low quality industrial grade syrup, traditionally reserved for processed foods, into """grade A""" and sell it to clueless consumers

>>14267669
To be fair, it's a fair argument, many people enjoy the flavor of the darker commercial grade stuff, and not being able to find it on retail shelves was a real bummer. It tastes more like the fake syrup, so if you want real syrup that tastes as maple-y as the fake stuff, you can now easily find it, whereas previously the darkest readily available wasn't all that dark.

>>14267657
>>14267669

The new system is complete trash because it mixes old Grade B with Grade A. Every single Grade A dark I've seen in the store is the older grade A and not the superior grade B.

>>14267686
What you want is Grade A very dark, not Grade A Dark.

>>14264847
Cause sugar-free stuff tastes like absolute crap. Hard pass.

>>14267690
"""grade A very dark""" isn't the old grade B, it's grade C trash previously not deemed fit for grocery store distribution.

>>14267640
I mean that they are both just sugar reduced to a syrup. The only difference is that one came from wood.

>>14267696
Im telling you anon, you'll like it.
>>14267701
So yea, the difference is how it tastes.

>>14267701
>I mean that they are both just sugar reduced to a syrup. The only difference is that one came from wood.
and you think the flavor would somehow be identical between the two despite originating from different sources?

>>14267771
I've tasted both and know it is.

>>14267780
Not me, but that's what I was gonna say. And again, I'm Canadian.

>>14267780
then you have little to no reliable sense of taste because they simply don't taste the same.

And as already said, different grades of maple syrup taste different from each other, fake maple syrup generally tries to imitate darker maple syrup, but even then it isn't identical in flavor.

>>14267788
Forgot picture

>>14267790
Maybe you're just an autistic snob? Its the same as when wine snobs can't tell the difference when blindfolded.

>>14267800
But you can EASILY tell the difference between Grade A dark and Grade A Golden.

If you can't you have a terrible sense of taste and simply should never work in a real kitchen.

>>14267800
t. has never seen a sommelier competition

>>14267804
Yup autistic snob it is.

>>14267690

I can't find that shit anywhere in the stores.

>>14267826
How the fuck is it autistic be able to taste a difference and be able to determine between two DIFFERENT products because of that taste difference?

That's just being a normal fucking human. If you can't tell the difference between two DIFFERENT substances that fucking taste different, you've got something wrong with you.

If you think that makes me a snob, fine. But at least im not physically fucking incapable of determining a difference in taste.

>>14267780
cut your fucking tongue out then retard cause it isn't working

>>14267832
Where the fuck do you live?

Worst case you can order on amazon.

>>14267804
Bullshit. The fake stuff tastes the exact same as the real stuff. Why do you think it’s so popular? Why would u want to put tree sap on ur breakfast anyway lol.

>>14267833
AUTISM TRIGGERED

>>14267832
>>14267838


>>14267841
The difference is in the quality of the maple flavor, and how powerful the maple flavor. Golden color syrup is much lighter in flavor and tastes nothing like the fake stuff.

As i've mentioned, the darker stuff IS closer to the fake syrup, but still isn't identical.

>>14267833
No bro your autistic you have a heightened sense of taste because of your autism. Normal people don’t notice a difference between the real or fake stuff otherwise who would buy the fake? Lol and again who wants to eat tree sap on their breakfast anyways?

>>14267852
>otherwise who would buy the fake?
because it's $3 vs $10+?

>>14267833
It's autism because you go into a tantrum when someone disagrees with you. You're a snob because you think that your opinion is the only one that matters, and literally said that if someone disagrees with you that they shouldn't be a chef.

>>14267843
They all taste the same. Your just makin stuff up now to justify spending 10 dollars an ounce on fancy sugar water. Enjoy your sap covered breakfast.

PSA!
"Aunt Jemima is based on the common "Mammy" stereotype, a character in minstrel shows in the late 1800s. Her skin is dark and dewy, with a pearly white smile. She wears a scarf over her head and a polka dot dress with a white collar, similar to the common attire and physical features of "mammy" characters throughout history.[7][8][9][10][11][12] A character named "Aunt Jemima" appeared on the stage in Washington, D.C., as early as 1864.[13]

The inspiration for Aunt Jemima was Billy Kersands' American-style minstrelsy/vaudeville song "Old Aunt Jemima", written in 1875. Rutt reportedly saw a minstrel show featuring the "Old Aunt Jemima" song in the fall of 1889, presented by blackface performers identified by Arthur F. Marquette as "Baker & Farrell".[3] Marquette recounts that the actor playing Aunt Jemima wore an apron and kerchief, and Rutt appropriated this Aunt Jemima character to market the Pearl Milling Company pancake mix in late 1889."

BLACK LIVES MATTER

>>14267855
Im not arguing about weather or not he LIKES the taste, I don't give a fuck if he LIKES maple syrup. That's an opinion.

Not fucking being able to tell the difference between the two? You're just fucking broken and need to stop justifying YOUR brokenness with my having autism.

>>14267860
Dude your just digging you’rre whole deeper calm down with the fucking autism. They all taste the same and plenty of people except YOU agree

>>14267843

That's Dark, not Very Dark. That is the lowest I can find in grocery stores.

I think I am going to have to order it off of amazon.

>>14267867
>They all taste the same and plenty of people except YOU agree
Yeah, flyover retards that grew up on aunt jemima and think that tastes like actual maple.

I'm not shocked.

>>14267858
To expand on this, aunt jemima was chosen as a character before any black women were hired to be spokespersons/mascots. They specifically looked for women that fit the mammy stereotype.
Honestly if you can't see why aunt Jemima shouldn't be on the shelves you're being willfully ignorant. Before learning the history I wasn't sure why they were removing the brand, but now it should clear for anyone that's been informed.

>>14267860
So you really do have autism? HAHABAAHAAHA
The fact that I could tell you have autism should be a red flag for you.

>>14267858
Too long, didn't read.

>>14267880
I never said I had autism (I dont).

I said you're justifying your brokenness with my having autism (which isn't true). You're just broken.

>>14267874
Yeah it's freely available on amazon, just expensive.

>>14267884
Suck my dick

>>14267894
>If you disagree with me you are broken
Yea this is the logic of an autistic snob.

>>14267896
Go back to Wakanda

>>14267914
No, if you can't determine a taste difference between the far left and the far right, you're broken.

I'm not asking you to be able to taste and tell the exact grading between all of the grades. All i'm saying is if you can't taste a difference between the two extremes, you're a fucking broken individual.

>>14267657
>>14267669
How do the different colors taste?

>>14267914
dude your taste buds are literally crippled if you can't taste the difference. saying that all syrup tastes the same is like saying that all the music from a genre sounds the same

>>14267935

water to maple

>>14267935
Generally the lighter color, the less maple flavor, but it's a more delicate "fancier" taste.

The darker you go, the harsher the maple flavor hits.

Some people only like the light stuff, some people only like the dark stuff, some people like the dark stuff for certain things, but the light stuff for others. My grandmother for example uses dark syrup on her oatmeal, but uses the light golden syrup for pancakes and crepes.

>>14267923
Yup, it's autism.

>>14267939
>>14267923
>Being this autistic about thick sugar water.

>>14267957
idk, it's pretty autistic to pretend that all syrups taste the same.

Even worse, if you actually can't tell the difference, then you have to live with the knowledge that you're simply a taste-let.

>>14267951
>i can taste colors
This sounds like mental illness, like that thing where people see music.

>>14265115
Do all trees make syrup?

>>14267960

>>14260644
>Ywn bust a syrupy load on Aunt Jemima's plastic pancakes

What kind of maple syrup is equivalent to maple cookies and maple extract?

>>14267975
All trees make sap.
Maple syrup is maple sap reduced to a syrup by boiling it.

>>14267975
No, but there are some 35+ trees that can be tapped for syrup.

Besides the ~10 different maple verities, you can tap many types of birch, walnut, sycamore, linden, ironwood, hickory, elm, palm, ash, apple, red oak, etc.

>>14267987
While true, you can't assume all tree saps can be made into syrup.

Pine trees for example are tapped for turpentine and glue. Some saps can be toxic, so don't go around just tapping random trees and assuming you can make edible syrup from it.

>>14267976
it's okay, i'd be upset too if I found out I couldn't taste with any real level of reliability.

>>14268019
>S..stop ma... making me cry anon, I don't like being called autistic

>>14268042

>>14267968

Not being able to understand what the other guy meant is autism

My wife's Canadian, I'm Burger raised on the fake stuff, so this issue is a full contact sport in my house. She forbids our kids to call the fake stuff "maple syrup"; she gives 'em shit every time.

>>14268222
Quebec calls the fake stuff sirop de poteau, or "telephone-pole syrup", and I think that's really cute.

>>14268260
LOL- she'll get a kick out of that, thank you. She gets into Canadian holidays. We had a nice dinner for Victoria Day, and we celebrate Boxing Day, Family Day, Easter Monday, and especially Canadian Thanksgiving. Chick can drink too.

What kind of real maple syrup is closest in taste to the fake shit?

>>14268987
Grade A Dark

>>14267833
Don’t feed the trolls.

>>14264847
Look at the ingredients. I’m surprised it doesn’t have a surgeon generals warning.

>>14269659
what exactly about the ingredients list is off-putting? they're all normal food additives. or are you just afraid of chemicals in general?

>>14264847
Millions of Americans claim to suffer IBS but constantly eat garbage sugar free shit like this while drinking sugar free coke while being morbidly obese, it's all full of sorbital which causes intestinal contractions and diarrhea, and jolts their insulin response causing them to store what they ate with it as fat rather than burning it readily. This is why you shart your pants in walmart anon.

>>14266839
I remember during my childhood, when I was well brainwashed by the fake aunt jemima syrups, my mom got a gigantic can of maple syrup that looked similar to that. It tasted so strong that I was disgusted by it and we threw it out, but now that I'm not retarded I really want to chase it down again.
I'm addicted to strong flavors and even expensive canadian maple syrups taste really bland and weak. Do they sell anything like it in stores?

>>14260635
while I agree, real maple syrup isnt anything special or worth the price. I'd been served the fake shit for YEARS as a child and grew out of pancakes and the like. Recently bought a bottle of pure maple syrup thinking id treat myself and its just watery and not really spectacular


Fruit syrup is what you want. Or a thick sweet cream for french toast is amazing

>>14266839
I grew up in northwestern PA, this is how my syrup came, in a rectangular 1 gallon tin.

>>14269766
I grew up in southern ohio, and we always took a trip to Pennsylvania for some maple syrup every year, always got a tin like that too.

>>14263598
How much?

>>14269774
I remember those tins from childhood because my mom always got one under the christmas tree, she loves real maple syrup. We always hopped over to Ohio for beer and gas because you can legit save like $10 doing that.

>>14266839
Based canuck

Why the fuck do people even eat non-sugar free syrup, you save like 500 calories of sugar.

>>14267858
Cotton picking machines exist now. Why on earth would black lives matter?

I'm a canadian who legit has a cupboard full of syrups(different grades of maple, cane sugar, corn, and tons of "artificial ones") and honestly... I think the fake shit tastes better.

>>14269936
Because of ketotards.

>>14269936
>why the fuck won't you eat toxic sweeteners that give you brain damage
I don't know, I guess they're not retards like you

>>14267669
Tried the gold stuff for the first time last year and it was amazing. It didn't taste like any maple syrup flavor I'd ever had before but to be honest it tasted better for it

Oh no, the pedoshit who saves pics of a crying babies on his computer is retarded.

>>14269721
There has never been a study showing that artificial sweeteners trigger insulin and there is no obvious mechanism of action to explain how it could. I'll stop drinking diet soda and using sugar free syrup when they finally prove artificial sweeteners have a single adverse effect worse than consuming an equivalent amount of sugar. But in the meantime, I'm losing weight and still enjoying sweet food and drinks without the calories.

>>14269659
It's just chemicals everything is chemicals.

>>14260635
I've never eaten real maple syrup. The fake stuff is meh too I just make a simple syrup and use that.

>>14272386

>>14272391
>I've never eaten real maple syrup
You should try it, especially the lighter stuff as it's not really directly comparable to the fake stuff.

>>14272420
Sorry, what I meant to say is they are the exact same thing, and you wouldn't tell the difference with a blind fold on.

>>14272428
then you're just an idiot and will never understand what you're missing out on anyway.

My wife is per-diabetic and has to carefully control her sugar, so it's sugar free and sugar substitute for most things in our house.

She's Chinese and blames her condition on her love of fruits, which makes sense, based on the fructose content of what she used to eat.

>>14272596
There's nothing to gaslight you about, your posts make absolutely no sense and you are arguing about things that have absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. What does MSG have to do with the difference between real and fake syrup? Dude anyone can tell from your posts that you are legitimately Schizophrenic, or at the very least extremely mentally unstable. Even if you don't want to take your meds, go talk to a professional at least. I'm genuinely worried for the people around you.

Real maple syrup tastes kind of medicine-y so I understand why some people don't like it, but that's exactly why I like it.

>>14267874

I just got my very dark maple in the mail. Now this is the good shit that I expect to put on my pancakes. Infinitely better than the fake hfcs stuff.

The fake stuff is better than the bullshit maple syrup they sell in stores near me, though.

>>14275854
Yeah, a lot of people shit on very dark because it used to be classified as commercial or processing grade, but there is a reason it's being sold in stores, people enjoy the maple flavor it gives.

>>14275112
The caramel coloring has to be created using something. My theory would be that they're charring either the wheat or the soy, or both. I know eggs have a ton of uses, hell they're even in vaccines.

The anchovies is kinda throwing me off.

>>14276496
they're a bit too sweet without the syrup, but it'll be overkill with alcohol once the syrup gets drizzled. you're better off making bacon and eggs, anon.

All I know is fake/maple flavoured syrup is sugar syrup flavoured w/ fenugreek. Once you know that you can discern it as such.

Makes sense, she married you!

Growing up, my Polish immigrant mom would frequently make me nalesniki (Polish crepes) for breakfast and as she made everything from scratch, she only bought real maple syrup but as an adult, I only eat frozen toaster waffles on occasion and they’re not worth spending the money for real maple syrup, so I keep a bottle of the fake shit on hand (which is SO fake they don’t even bother putting the word “maple” on the label…)

>>14267625
>But if you have only eaten the fake stuff for years, you probably aren't going to be a fan of the real stuff as it will taste "wrong".
You are such a fucking faggot that I am kind of disgusted of replying to you, but do tell us how does it feel to be a 6 years old kid trapped in a man's body?

Fake is better. Smoother taste. People pretend to like real better because they think they're supposed to.

>>14260635
Who are you quoting?

I tried real maple syrup for the first time in like ten years and I was absolutely fucking blown away by how good it tasted, it was the most intense reaction I've had to food I can remember

The fake stuff has its appeal as something mild and light that you can slather on stuff, but real maple syrup is fucking heaven

>>14280839
Use 'whom' when 'him' could be substituted. Use 'who' when 'he' could be substituted. Since it's more accurate to say 'are you quoting him' rather than 'are you quoting he' you would use 'whom' in this instance.
