but most agree that the first true instances took place in the Michigan/Vermont area..
Next you're probably going to be telling us that Frank was born in Vermont!

have you already forgotten the story of Moqua, the indian from Vermont?
behind every good Canadian invention there's even better, earlier, more original American one

Here's some more history:
Virtually all syrup makers in the past were self sufficient dairy farmers who made syrup and sugar during the off season of the farm for their own use and for extra income. These farmers were, and continue to be, folks who look at a process and say to themselves, 'There has to be a faster, more efficient, easier way to do this.' Then, in approximately 1864, a Canadian borrowed some design ideas from sorghum (what us northerners call molasses) evaporators and put a series of baffles in the flat pans to channel the boiling sap. The ideas continued to flow. In 1872 a Vermonter developed an evaporator with two pans and a metal arch or firebox which greatly decreased boiling time. Seventeen years later, in 1889, another Canadian bent the tin that formed the bottom of a pan into a series of flues which increased the heated surface area of the pan and again decreased boiling time.

if you notice in the middle of that story, the guy who invented the double-panned evaporator and metal arch is a Vermonter.

I used to volunteer at one of those old-timey pilgrim house tour places. We had pancakes every morning, wore old-timey clothes and were paid in maple syrup.

Posted - 01/05/2005 : 09:45:12 which is why the Catholics toured in Vermont so often. I liked to tell myself that it was because McDave needed to be near me. The truth is it's because Frank likes to load up on the real stuff.
Dean, Dean, Dean. It's OK. Really. I can even send you a quart from right behind my house. Just email me your address.

Posted - 01/05/2005 : 09:35:32 The fact is that FB moved north from LA to Portland to be closer to a viable and unbeatable source of the original maple syrup.
Plus, why do you think he started the warm up tour here (aside from the last minute addition of Minneapolis to placate various Americans)? The answer: Stock up on maple syrup here in Canada before embarking on a world tour.

Think about it, Dean, this is FB.net and FB is American and, I guarantee you, he would prefer the real thing poured over his pancakes over that diluted Canadian stuff. Guarantee you.

"Perhaps a more believable story is that of the Indian woman named Moqua. The story was recounted in the April 1896 issue of The Atlantic Monthly by Vermonter Rowland E. Robinson. The story goes that Moqua was cooking a prime cut of moose for her husband, the hunter Woksis. However, Moqua became preoccupied with her quill-work and let the pot boil dry. Realizing she did not have time to melt some snow she used some maple sap she had been saving for a beverage. Woksis was so impressed with the meal he broke the pot so he could lick the last of the “goo” from the pot shards."

Okay so if you're saying the natives could not make syrup but just tap for sap then your Chippewa story is shite. Therefore (again); "In the early days of colonization, it was the Natives who showed French settlers how to tap the trunk of a tree at the outset of spring, harvest the sap and boil it to evaporate some of the water." And the last time I checked, the French settled in Canada!
