Yo Dude - go bake something. . . merkin style

Sundae · 04-15-2010, 04:10 PM

I got the cups and spoons... I might just do that!

classicman · 04-15-2010, 04:13 PM

DOOO ITTT

I was expecting, and admittedly a lil disappointed, a whole thread about your cooking with all this crazy merkin stuff.

Sundae · 04-15-2010, 04:47 PM

Sorry babba.
It's just been that I've mostly been dieting since Christmas.
Oh, except when I was in Amsterdam... I've given photo evidence of that so I can hardly deny...

I'll tell you something though. The 'rents are hooked on Merkin pancakes. Mum has now bought her SECOND bottle of real Maple Syrup (from M&S - they do things properly). And making them without Merkin measurers (is that even a word?) wouldn't be possible.

Oh - we're still using J&J's packet pancake mixes. Yes, we're getting short on them now, but that's not a hint - we're also getting fat!

classicman · 04-15-2010, 04:57 PM

No sweat. - I was just guessing anyway.

FWIW - How much is the REAL maple syrup there?

DanaC · 04-15-2010, 05:01 PM

I paid a little over £4 for a bottle last week.

Sundae · 04-15-2010, 05:07 PM

£6 is the cheapest I've seen here.

classicman · 04-15-2010, 07:56 PM

thats what like $8? That seems cheap to me.

Clodfobble · 04-15-2010, 08:14 PM

Current exchange rate puts £6 at $9.30. It depends on how big the bottle is, of course, but they run from $11 to $15 in my grocery store.

DanaC · 04-15-2010, 08:38 PM

330 gram bottle.

ZenGum · 04-15-2010, 09:35 PM

Well, if you'll settle for "MAPLE flavoured SYRUP" it comes fairly cheap, and it's "made with 10% PURE MAPLE SYRUP and 90% sugar.

classicman · 04-15-2010, 10:27 PM

Not a chance in hell of me eating that crap.

Pete Zicato · 04-15-2010, 10:33 PM

When I was a kid we always bought log cabin syrup - it's what we could afford. I remember it said on the bottle "made with 2% real maple syrup". Now it doesn't even say that.

When we first moved here, many were relocated with us. Five young single males rented a huse together -we called it "Ladsville". The first thing they did was to place a bottle of Log Cabin Maple syrup on the toilet cystern,

For a brit, you might at well call it TurdHouse Syrup...
