Romance of Texas and Vermont

[omorka]

So I discovered this evening that, if one can afford it, a pecan pie made with maple syrup instead of corn syrup has a slightly softer mouthfeel and a far superior flavor. I am never, ever going back to Karo after this.

Why did I not already know this? Is it that Southron pride, refusing to blend the sap of Yankee trees with their native nuts? If so, bugger that nonsense for a lark, because this was the most awesome pecan pie I have ever baked.

I am sorry that I did not let you know about this sooner. Derby pie is like pecan pie except with chocolate, and I think you should know about it too.

I am actually not a huge fan of chocolate, but I will keep that in mind.
