Irish sausages are the best! (Na ispíní Éireannach níos mó!)

On topic, I love maple syrup, but I am terrified of ruining perfectly good meat by putting it onto it. Canadians! Help me out. What's the best meatstuff to try it on?

Also, Blapblapblap, you were mostly naming biscuits! Everyone knows the best thing about England is real ale and pies. You guys got that market cornered, no joke.

(Heh. My bit of Gaeilge up there might actually translate as "Irish sausages are the biggest!" *facepalm* )

Maple syrup is gorgeous with bacon (obviously), it's also good with pork and chicken (not with fish, beef or lamb though).

And what do you do to it? Do you like, baste it in syrup and then fry or grill it? Or do you cook it first and then pour it over?

I hate to waste bacon!

For bacon I just cook it as normal and pour it over bacon, american pancakes and maple syrup is a pretty standard breakfast. If you skin some sausages, mix the meat with an egg or two and some flour then fry the little sausage patties in bacon fat those are also good with maple syrup.

As for with chicken, I'd mix some maple into the glaze (also is good with ham and pork joints) and baste it over while cooking.

Now, now. Every Canadian knows that while we hold the rest of the world hostage with our monopoly on the maple syrup supply, it's with Beaver Tails that we'll actually take over the world!
Nothing in the world compares to a beaver tail!

Oh, and if you think maple syrup is good, you need to try out chocolate maple cream cookies & maple suger candies! (you brits can't hold a jellybean to a real Canadian maple suger candy! )

Which when you read about it sounds like a weapon of some sort.
Probably the venom and electroreception (that thing Frazzled would want daschunds to have) parts.

On a boat, Trying not to die.

I have a small bottle of Grade A Light Amber pure Canadian syrup. It's the best I've ever had. Tapped it meself.

Syrup goes well with everything. I even drink it on occasion.

It also doesn't help that we always have a half gallon bottle of syrup in our cabinet...

No it's like saying you'd rather eat artificial steak than a thick rare Delmonico.

Sure, but still, it's typically a european idea, rather than those crazy yanks....

If you say so. Maybe it's a regional thing, but I'm American and my family used to make our own cracklings every year since I was a kid up until just a few years ago. I figured it was just a rural thing, not particularly originating from any country. It just makes sense if you're butchering your own hogs, you might as well use the skin too (particularly when it's delicious).
