I like both honey and real maple syrup. Heck, I even like corn syrup. It
used to be my favourite sweetener for Cream of Wheat. Perhaps maple
syrup is an acquired taste. I used to get my with Log Cabin artificially
flavoured pancake syrup until I got used to real maple syrup. I can't go
back to the artificial stuff now.


I eat some honey almost every day. I like it. Some are better than
others. Once in a while I have buckwheat honey, but only once in a
while. I just wish the com honey was a lot cheaper.
