Jim at PRS has a post about maple syrup, and the faux varieties thereof. Catfish commented that he preferred cane syrup.
I hate to break ranks with Cat on this, but I grew up on cane syrup, and found it to be a sorry-assed substitute for maple syrup. I felt like poor white trash eating that stuff. Perhaps I chewed on too much sugar cane growing up. I just don't like the taste.
I have no taste for sweets now, anyway. I find the site of a plate of pancakes (or flapjacks, or johnnycakes, or whatever the fuck my northern cousins call them) nauseating. I still like Aunt Jemima, though.
You do realize that you can substitute biscuits for pancakes at IHOP?
(I can live without pancakes as well. Syrup is for french toast... or waffles.)

Happy New year!
