Gotta ask... maple syrup

[MorganL]

I'll preface this with, I'm from Vermont.

Safe to assume that the syrup that they use is the fake stuff?

 

[bumbershoot]

As far as I know, yep, fake stuff.

 

[MorganL]

And I thought of a great idea for a FE gift...

I'll preface this by saying that while I am not from Vermont, my best friend lives there and we do a boil every year from sap he collects on his property!

I keep a running list of "Things to pack on our cruise". A couple years ago, I added "maple syrup" to it. Not only is the stuff on board ships not real, it is just about the worst fake stuff I have ever had. So on our "morning of the cruise" trip to Publix, we pick up a small bottle of real stuff to take on board.

And here I thought I was the only lunatic!

 

[MorganL]

Haha!! Definitely not!

I recall a couple restaurants we ate at used the real stuff. I think the a la carte breakfasts at the Captain's Grille did, also the Wave, but I'm not 100% positive. All the buffets used the fake stuff.

Captain's Grill? Wave?

What ship are you talking about?

I think he's thinking he's on the WDW restaurants' board.

Oh, OK.

I hear you. Coming from the province of Quebec. We are big on maple syrup.

I asked but they said they did not have it.

Perhaps this is our future...

Jimmy...lol. Powdered syrup...just add syrup!

 

[bobbiwoz]

I skip the syrup and put the strawberry concoction on my Mickey Waffles. When possible only use real maple syrup or real pecan syrup on pancakes!

 

[mylittlebuttercup]

Yeah, I thought the syrup tasted okay (not fabulous) on the cruise. Guess it is fake from the comments here, but it didn't bother me any.

I do the strawberry stuff too...and whipped cream. It's like dessert for breakfast.

 

[JLMDisneyCruise]

Ah, good to know! I'm from NH ( used to live in Waitsfield Vermont) I'll grab a small bottle to take onboard! Lol one of those little 3 oz ones!

 

[kuhltiffany]

We gave the small bottles out as FE gifts one cruise. Dh was mad, I forgot to bring an extra for him!

 

[Cruise-n-2015]

We bought small mini bottles of maple syrup to hand out with our ornament exchange or maybe just to hand out randomly, not really sure

I am always disappointed because the strawberry compote is ice cold. I expect it be warm.

 

[isabellea]

I'll add maple syrup to my packing list (from Qc and cannot stand the fake stuff)
