I know,
casey. I enjoy when the syrup from my pancake runs all over my bacon. Breakfast sausage, too. But I don't go out of my way to make maple bacon.
Funny thread-jack story: When I was 12, my aunt took me on vacation with her to visit cousins in suburban Chicago. My cousin Tony told us to order anything we wanted. I got a small cut of prime rib with au jus. Someone else at the table was supposed to get fritters with their meal. The pitcher of syrup was in close proximity to my plate, so my aunt (mind you, I was 12 at the time) picks up the pitcher and starts pouring, saying "this must be the au jus!". I told her it looked like maple syrup to me. "No, No, it's just beef juice. Go on, eat, eat." I took a bite, mostly to
shut her up humor her.
We all had a good laugh after I finished gagging...and I got a new slice of rib since the waitress took the blame for the syrup. Tony gave her a really nice tip.
