      whaaaaa?

      I confess, I mostly expected this post to contain things that also annoy me about my fellow Americans, but here I am now, rocked to my core

        Wait, is it actually that rare in the US? I thought honey was a standard alternative!

          I know Canada is more famous for it, but we produce an absolute fuckton of maple syrup in the states.

          Honey is for peanut butter and a drizzle of honey sammiches, baklava, and biscuits, not pancakes or waffles.

          I’m a usaian and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of pancakes with honey. Could be a regional thing though. The country is a big place.

            Interestingly, people who use honey often do it as a ‘healthier’ alternative to high-fructose corn syrup brands, though maple syrup actually has more minerals like calcium and potassium. Is honey the standard where you are from?

              No it definitely isn’t I’ve never heard of honey on pancakes only on toast. Maple syrup is the normal pancake topping. We actually can get the real stuff pretty easily where I am too because Minnesota is practically Canada.

              Fun fact: in America most common brands of both honey AND maple syrup are just flavored high fructose corn syrup. It’s not like we don’t have the real stuff on the same shelf, but you have to pay attention to the labels or you might get some bullshit.
