It somehow seems very Canadian that the "huge Canadian grocery companies are illegally overcharging/underweighting meat again after they got caught a year ago and promised they'd solved that 'error'" scandal is getting less press than the "some maple syrup producer in Quebec got caught selling fake maple syrup containing >50% cane sugar" scandal.

Another brand hit with the fake maple syrup scandal: l’Érabeille. The cans came from the same producer, but different distributor.

The company is recalling the products from grocery stores.

This is the latest in the season that I’ve posted my maple syrup tallies. What a strange year! My previous high for the one tree we tap was 36 liters of sap. This year we had 49! 😳

Between 2/22 - 3/10 we got 12 liters.
Between 3/11 - 3/28 we got 37 liters.

49 liters of sap boiled down to about 1 ¼ liters of syrup.

Nous sommes en mai, pas mal fini, il vient de Suisse. Finalement, il vint l'année suivante en mars, mais il pleut, mon beau-père ne veut pas mettre son cheval à la pluie et ça ne coule pas. La vidéo fut faite avec de l'eau tout court. Les crêpes de la fin, c'est en Ontario. Passé à une émission culinaire EN ALLEMAND #suisse

A little later than usual (a not lovely migraine had me in a dark room all day).

We're in the final stretch of the first Taste of Maple Trail by Explore WaterlooRegion. I chatted with 4 of the 21 restaurants involved who are showcasing how this favourite local harvest can be used as more than a pancake topping.
