Why do you do this? WHY?

to make up for the lack of culinary history, you go uber wacky.

This is the thread where we discover once-and-for-all who among us are supertasters and who are the poor saps with far fewer taste buds who don't understand the pure luv that is syrup on sausage.

"Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham!"

See, now I'm torn between Kyle McLachlan and REASON. It's a tough choice.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

My first solo trip to a US diner involved sausages and pancakes, I was bemused when the unsmiling waiter chap brought me a pot of some weird sugary syrup. Crazies.

(Having said that, tomato ketchup = sweet and tomato ketchup + sausages = ultimate in numness)

I liked this when I was like 7.

incidentally this is

classic

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I have ONLY ever read about this in case histories of menko bulimics. One had bacon, ice cream and half a squirty bottle of syrup. Therefore MADNESS, clinical madness!

Oh yes and Americans too. Ugh ugh. Pork products should have ketchup and go on a sandwich. Or be served with roast potatoes. Or mashed potato. Or some form of starchy carb. NOT JUST SUGAR. Eugh. I suppose you could claim that they are made sweet from caramelisation of fat but STILL that doesn't justify the addition of syrup.

GROO GROO.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

(Both the red sauce and the brown sauce are sweet, but they are also fruity and a little acidic, UNLIKE THE GLOOP OF MAPLE)

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope you're all talking about real maple syrup and not that Aunt Jemima shit.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember one time I went with my friends to IHOP and they poured syrup and whipped cream and stuff on their ham and eggs! I have never been more appalled.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Honey-Glazed ham deemed pretty normal in UK, so why the lack of comprehension implicit in the thread title?

See also Bradenham Ham (cured in molasses).

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Taste sensation!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Pork chops w/ apple-or-maple-or-honey-based glaze, served with roast potatoes = MEAL OF THE (non-Jewish/Muslim) GODS!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

RickyT's right. There's no excuse.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Honey glazed or pineapple glazed ham is also vile.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

most goyish food ever

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

are you people AMERICANS?!?! (NB I am not addressing the obviously non-Americans among us)

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

But then, what, are you just gonna eat the sausages dry? Not dip your bacon in the syrup spilling out over your pancakes? Next thing you'll be telling me not to put black pepper on my eggs or not to butter my bread or eat breakfast with chopsticks or something!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Hold up Nicole, syrup on EGGS as well!??!?!?

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Hold up Nicole, syrup on EGGS as well!??!?!?

I think there was a bit, they were scrambled eggs. There might have even been jelly involved.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Sausage goes with the egg yolk or the brown sauce or the red sauce.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

JAM! in EGGS!

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I dip no meat products in syrup. Pancakes only. and egg yolk bllllleeeeccccchhhh.

Does this mean I am the Chuck Eddy of breakfast foods? I hope so.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

classic, however even more classic is the fact that sainsbury's have started selling butter milk.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Honey - glazed ham usually has a bit of mustard powder in the glaze to take off the edge of the sweetness, same with Molasses cures doesn't it?

And apple sauce should be made from good, tart apples with some bite to them.

It just ain't right.

MR Alicious, if you've got a decent sausage, there is no way on earth it should be dry!

There was an American couple next to us on the ferry on Saturday, they ordered a very fine steak with bearnaise sauce and a chicken meuniere.... and promptly emptied about 6 sachets of ketchup over them and ate everything with their fingers. I must say I was appalled. (this was in the posh waiter service bit of the restaurant)

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

and don't get me started on putting pineapple on pizza!

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

pineapple is so obviously unamerican.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't go there Chris, it'll lead to someone revealing they put jam on pizza and I really don't think I could deal with that now.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

same with Molasses cures doesn't it?

Not according to http://www.kal69.dial.pipex.com/874meat.htm (I do love a site called 'Meat Products')

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

But the pineapple goes with the ham!

1. bacon and raspberry jam sandwiches are really fuckin' good.
2. bacon covered in syrup is really fuckin' good.
3. almost all other pork with sweet sauce is really fuckin' good.
u r all gay.

That's why god invented Hawaiian pizza.

What about ketchup and mayonnaise as condiments for pizza?

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Mayonnaise on pizza?

I take it back, that's the most goyish food ever.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Pineapple contains an enzyme that tenderises meat, so there is a valid historical reason behind the association of the two food items.

(But on the other hand, I never eat pineapple, because it dissolves all your fleshy parts that it comes in contact with)

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

seriously though, hawaii is the greatest place on earth. their "native" food (such as its developed in the 20th century) is godawful though. have we talked about the loco moko?

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Mayonaise on pizza? Now you're just making shit up!

That said, I must mention that I've eaten a peanut-butter-and-bacon sandwich before that was infinitely better than I expected.

Of course, I'm not sure if I have a taste-palate one could trust, considering I've eaten, y'know, chocolate covered grasshoppers and even weirder things.

("weirder things" does NOT include Hawaiian pizza, which is one of the finest combinations of anything ever in the history of food)

taste sensation

here's what else you cna do. mix some maple syrup and ketchup (i know, it sounds wrong) and brush it onto pork chops right before you take 'em off the grill.

Seriously. Nothing like the bacon and the maple meeting in a happy taste collision.

My friends are getting married this summer - she is from Vermont, and he is from Smithfield, VA. The main course at dinner? Maple glazed pork chop. Awesome.

Way upthread someone was suggesting putting KETCHUP on pork products. Now THAT is an abomination.

McGriddles are pretty fucking awesome b/c they contain syrup and sausage or bacon. Nom. When I make a sausage biscuit for the road I put some maple syrup in the frying pan and let it reduce and coat the patty. Nom nom NOM.

great idea

― s1ocki, Monday, 30 June 2008 18:48 (seventeen years ago)

My veg sausages usually last about half a link before I give in and coat them completely in syrup.

This is the problem with syrup, when you have it, it's only a matter of time before you've eaten everything on your plate, indeed, in your kitchen, with maple on it.

― en i see kay, Monday, 30 June 2008 18:49 (seventeen years ago)

bacon pancakes drowning in butter and syrup would be my first choice of last meal

don't eat pork but I do put syrup on my beef sausages. why? because it's tastes good durr

― The Brainwasher, Monday, 30 June 2008 19:01 (seventeen years ago)

I like maple syrup with very crispy bacon, can't imagine I'd enjoy it with any other meat though.

Anyone tried this:

or else suffer the pangs of desire for THICK slabs of hickory smoked bacon drizzled with maple syrup, the kind you can get from the Amish when passing through the countryside.

fuck..
