Actually, maple syrup dipped bacon is FAR superior to maple cured
bacon..... There is a world of difference.

I'm sure you've had pancakes, eggs and bacon and ended up with a bit of
syrup on the bacon?

Deeeeeeelicious!

At least I think so. <G>

Can't stand maple cured bacon, or maple added to sausage.

It's disgusting.
