We use Maple Syrup, not corn syrup or sugar, because it tastes better than just a simple syrup. The flavor of expensive, actual, 100% real maple syrup is sublime and when drizzled over a warm pancake it adds an earthy, toasted sweetness. With some butter the syrup transforms into ambrosia and you will have to fight off Greek deities to enjoy it.

It’s the classic combo and you know there is real maple syrup that isn’t just corn syrup… Might want to try that.

Beyond that -canned juices aside - there are many toppings for pancakes.

I am disappointed to not see the can the syrup came from in this picture.

I do not buy specific pancake syrup; I simply use maple. Very, very rarely I get a fruit flavored syrup, like strawberry or boysenberry.

When we go up to visit my wife’s parents in Quebec I see that they sell maple syrup in a can, too. I find this less useful because there’s no way to close it. My wife’s parents are emigrants from France, so not always as into traditional Canadian/Quebec foods. They always buy the cans and sometimes send it home with us because I’m always trying maple foods while we’re there. We have to wait until we empty the jug from Costco and then refill it from the can to have a more usable option.

Christ on a bike mate, I know a few geezers who’d stab you if you served them a sausage that looked like that lol
