Is maple flavoring kosher :confused:

From my understanding of what kosher is, I would say yes. Maple syrup is made from the sap of a maple tree (a lot of water with a little bit of sugar: 98-2 ratio); the sap is slowly reduced over heat until the water content is significantly lower. So, since the sap does not come from an unclean source and is reduced in a pan used only for that purpose, I think it should be. Also... when I worked at a cereal manufacturing facility, we made maple flavoured wheat biscuits which received kosher blessings from three different rabbinical societies. Tim

That stuff's ok in a sandwich, but just doesn't have the same intense, mouth-watering quality of real bacon. For some reason, i just thought of smoked salmon. Not sure why. But now it's all i can think about. Mmmm... smoked salmon...

Mmmmmm, I remember the first time my dog smelled good bacon frying. She literally walked around tasting the air. My wife made this great salad with bacon bits and good bread cut up and covered with the bacon drippings, that stuff is liquid gold.

Of course not, man. That's what makes the joke funny.

Good info, but it was a joke. Think about it.

I did think about it, and, sadly to say, what I wrote is about ALL I know of Kosher laws...

Sorry, then. I thought it was common knowledge that kosher Jews don't eat pork.

Egad! I totally missed that!!! Leckie said she eats turkey bacon and I just thought of turkey bacon for observant Jews...

Never heard of it. But, nothing beats a Canadian breakfast ( pancakes with bacon, bananas and maple syrup ). Especially if the cook has the sense to cook the bananas. Then it's heaven. And, caramel bananas to follow. On pancakes. I like pancakes.

Add about 1/4 stick of butter in a pan and melt. Add some brown sugar to taste. When mixture is melted and combined add in sliced bananas and cover them with the mixture. Cook until bananas are soft and turning a darker color. Now the magic part - remove from heat and add about 1-2 oz of Myers Dark Rum. Add back to heat - be careful it may flame up. Cook a few more min and serve. UM UM. These go good with everything but they are very good with crepes. Richard

Get some good baby spinach- place in a salad bowl. Take about two-three slices of good bacon and cut it into small pieces. Fry up the bacon in a pan till it is very crisp. If there are a lot of drippings pour some out but its really a matter of judgment. Pour the drippings and bacon pieces over the spinach in a bowl and toss. Add in some crumbled fresh blue cheese and there you have it. Texas wilted salad with blue cheese. Fit for Gods, Kings, and Texans. Richard

That's the recipe for caramel bananas. Yum, indeed.

How do they flavor it and whats wrong with just putting maple syrup on plain old bacon? Is it paper thin bacon or does it have some body to it? Do you cook it till its all crispy or leave it a bit soft? What sort of rashers are we talking about? The almost fat free medalian ones or the normal, big bit of fat along the top style? I need to know these things
