So far I’ve used it to make a killer suite and sour pork. The rest awaits further inspiration. It’s very potent. ---

Of course now they’re budding so that’s a drawback but I think the benefits outweigh the downside. Also, 3 of my 4 trees are HUGE and old, close to 100 years old if not more. ---

Sounds lovely to me; I’ve got to check my boil every 15-20 minutes all damn day so I am really warming to the idea of that device. Keep lurking, but be sure and put your two cents in every once in a while! ---

> [@Happytree](#): > > soy sauce and real maple syrup is an awesome combo. We go thru soy sauce in my household quite fast, I am going to have to try that combo. We enjoy sweet/salty flavors here a lot. We’ve a recipe for brussel sprouts that uses maple syrup and somersausage. I can see adding soy sauce to that. ---

Syrup and bacon is a great combo. Syrup and soy sauce should work also. > [@tofor](#): > > So far I’ve used it to make a killer suite and sour pork. This is the coolest typo I have seen in a long time. ---

Not a typo, I made pork in a large hotel room. 😛 > [@mbh](#): > > Syrup and soy sauce should work also. Another note on the soyup is that it smells and tastes a bit like molasses. Which is weird, but suggestive about what sorts of things it can be used in. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sap-must-flow-2023/979543.md?page=5)
