    Maple Syrup Production Workshop in Kentucky

    At this workshop, you will have an opportunity to learn how maple syrup is produced from the raw maple sap into the finished maple syrup that makes it to the table. Sugar maple trees are not the only maple trees capable of producing the raw ingredient for maple syrup. There may also be opportunities for woodland owners to just supply maple sap even if they are not interested in seeing it through to a final product.

    Bacon, Hot Dogs, French Fries, Cheese, Gravy, French Toast And Maple Syrup Combine In 'Angry French Canadian'

    A couple days ago, we asked you to describe the best sandwich ever, but little did we know that the same guys behind the world's worst pizza had already been working on something they call the Angry French Canadian.
    The sandwich starts with a base of egg-soaked baguette French toast. Then there's some bacon and several street vendor hot dogs -- buns included. Of course it wouldn't be French Canadian without poutine: French fries slathered in gravy and melted cheese. Oh, and don't forget the maple syrup.
