“Re: Host families - my kids have made pancakes during their stay so the host family could try the maple syrup. The reception was still fairly mixed for American style pancakes and syrup.”

I had a French roommate my junior year in Paris. When I went home with her one weekend, her mom “surprised” me with American pancakes with butter and maple syrup for dessert. Keep in mind that this was after a full course traditional French dinner. Yes, pancakes for dessert. I ate them to be polite, but I was so full that I thought I was going to explode.

I come down on the maple syrup side. I grew up with maple syrup. I love it on top of my hot nine-grain cereal with mixed berries and nutmeg. Delicious!
