If you like honey or treacle you will like maple syrup.  I brought a lot back from Canada although I don't think it's much cheaper than the stuff you can buy at the supermarket.  :dunno:

Oh yes!!  I like to eat French toast and bacon with lashings of Maple syrup when I'm away on holiday.   8-)

A little detour on your next flight home, perhaps?

What's on down there, Sam?

Title: Re: Maple syrup rich in antioxidants: Study
Post by: sam on March 24, 2010, 13:11

nothing, just my route home... not going to leave the airport to be fair... it was by the far cheapest and only a couple of hours longer.

Post by: Rik on March 24, 2010, 13:12

It seems strange that it's cheaper...

Title: Re: Maple syrup rich in antioxidants: Study
Post by: sam on March 24, 2010, 13:13

yeah exactly what I thought. Still though it will get me home I don't mind. Worst case I spend a bit more time playing games. I expect by the time I booked it the economy seats for the other flights had gone...

Nobody understands plane fares!  They make them up as they go along!   :laugh:

Especially at Ryanair.

Yes, the flight costs 1p but you end up paying £130.   :laugh:

it turns out United are a front... I fly air canada to houston and continental to the UK (sounds much nice than a long haul united flight though!)

Sounds good, but I guess all that really matters is that you get home.  :)
