I really do not like maple-flavored anything.

Probably comes from a road trip to Black Water Falls, WV.

After my cousin and I got too scared to keep looking at the “mummified wolf boy” in the chicken wire cage display, my gramma bought us each a solid maple sugar thing that was in a cupcake paper.

We gnawed on them for hours and after that, I never wanted to taste another maple anything, ever again.

I did that with dogs for most of my life. Last Aussie died three months after the German Shepherd, so that ended my line.

Then cats just came knocking on my door. I swear. “Oh, this looks like a good joint,” really.

Vermont makes tremendous brand pride for quality, if it says *made in Vermont*.

Cabot cheese, B&Js Maple syrup, King Arthur flour, Green Mountain Coffee, etc.

I pray the day never comes, that I don’t have at least one dog.

They’re what I live for.

Indeed. An excerpt in the article itself says it’s been around only since 1980. And I’m quite certain it didn’t ship east of the Mississippi for another five years after that, and wasn’t available to Deplorable America for another five years after that. And that is one only eight flavors that “defined American cuisine”? Get the F out of here with that crap. She’s a lefty one-worlder living in a foodie echo-chamber.

If you don’t use enough tahini (basically pureed toasted sesame seeds), it’s not going to taste like hummus. There’s a little garlic, maybe some lemon juice, maybe some olive oil, but the flavor is pretty much the garbanzo beans and tahini.

Tapioca is frog eggs. I happen to like rice pudding, which according to a late uncle, is maggots.

I always forget what that acronym means. I do not know why.

I thought conservatives liked Siracha and Dems wanted to kick it out of the country?

Like it: yes
Consider it something that has defined American cuisine: no

It’s there today. The first two reviews are from shills who had to write that they got the book for free in return for a review.

And I was just about to add before I read the rest of your sentence...rice pudding is maggots. >;)

*That*, I will not eat.

Frog eggs, fish eyes, yum!

“garlic ( and no, the Italians weren’t the ONLY people who cooked with that! ),”

The Japanese at least used to refer to Koreans as “garlic eaters”, not a complimentary term from their perspective.

I think the stuff we got was a solid disc of pure, crystallized maple sugar.
You could not bite a piece off...you had to alternately gnaw and suck.
A maple brick.

My teeth hurt, just thinking about it.
