so i grew up with the fake maple syrup with my waffles and pancakes. during Easter dinner i declared that im going to break out my wallet and buy the light facy, grade a amber, and grade a dark. after all i am financially independent(at least for maple syrup). i wanted to see what i was missing out on all these years, mind you my parents were/are depression era teens they knew how to stretch a buck. on tuesday i get a knock on the door from a food delivery company, my nephew sent us 3 bottles of maple syrup the 3 types listed above belgium waffles from belgium, and some aunt jemimas pancakes and waffles, i broke out all 3 types, we tried them without the waffles, all 3 tasted a bit different, the dark was the most intense, however once we put them on the waffles couldnt tell them apart, then we tried the fake syrup its wayyyy sweeter, . long story short the waffles from belgium hands down winner, any of the 3 maple syrup was better than the fake sugar water food coloring i grew up with, the real syrup cost about 10 times as much, but we arent talking big bucks here, if i had to chose just 1 id say the grade a amber my favorite, took me 55 years to get to this point of getting better stuff but im not in the accumulation stage anymore
