I rarely get either in restaurants. They are almost always a
disappointment, and especially disappointing in places that specialize
in pancakes. I was raised with a decent syrup hat was a mix of real
maple and artificial. I later developed a taste for real maple. The
pancakes and french toast in restaurants are disappointing in their own
right, but the horrible syrup served with them makes them even worse.
There is one local place that has acceptable pancakes, but not as good
as my home made.
