I vividly remember waiting in line for beer at the Alchemist, while holding my twins who were still in diapers. Yes, I was a thirsty lad.

Tire sur la neige (syrup on snow) - a must have in spring

I've only had one piece of the pie. It's so rich, and apparently I'm the only one at home who likes it. What the hell is wrong with my family????

I'd look at taking the family back to Vermont on vacation, but we're waiting for our kids' passport renewals.

Sugar shacks on the Québec side here are rites of passage. With the French Canadian traditional breakfast, and all the syrup one can scarf down, it's food coma bliss.

One of those things that will always set me apart from native Quebecers is that I really don't like maple syrup in any form except in dark chocolate. It's too sweet for me. Don't really have a sweet tooth in general, same as my parents.

Tried pumpkin spice latte once, couldn't finish it (putting aside that milk-based coffee is the gay agenda).

This geriatric fairy only ever adds rice milk to his plunger coffee.[Try it. I’m sure it won’t turn you into a - - - - ]

Your waistline is probably better off. You're best to avoid the cabanes à sucre then. That's a food coma waiting to happen. Besides, you don't need to like syrup to be a native Québecois. You love Schwartz. That's enough. I don't like poutine, if it helps. I think it was at Reuben's where I saw a smoked meat poutine. That's an insult to smoked meat.

I'm almost too scared to ask what a plunger coffee is. For the record, I don't drink coffee.

I believe he may be referring to a French press (known in Ayn's neck of the woods as a coffee plunger). My Louisianian mother always made chicory coffee that way.

Noted, thanks!

Not very useful to you, as you don't drink coffee! But you are very welcome.

My wife drinks coffee. I can count on one hand the people I know who do not drink coffee. To each their own. I like the smell, and coffee crisp is an awesome chocolate bar.

I remember working night shifts in a call center. My shift partner would drink three of the biggest starbucks coffees (not sure what they're called, grande, màs grande?) per night. He stuttered a lot, and the coffee didn't help.
