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

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!

No sweat. - I was just guessing anyway.

FWIW - How much is the REAL maple syrup there?

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.

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.

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...
