Do you like the combination of Maple syrup with bacon?

I love this combination - bacon goes with either sweet or savoury - shame it is supposedly so unhealthy!
I don't often have eggs with pancakes, well done bacon, and maple syrup but I used to love having this particularly when I went out for breakfast.

Thank you Finy! I'm just going to make pancakes now, with: strawberries & , blueberries as well as 2 jams, golden syrup, & maple syrup & bacon, but not all at the same time. Sometimes I'll put: currants, sultanas, or crushed walnuts into the pancake mixture. If I'd had a spare banana, we'd also be having that diced up on each pancake.

I've had it, I did enjoy it too, but if I'm having bacon and eggs, I'd much rather have plain bacon

Nope. Not a fan

I've never tried this combination, but the idea doesn't appeal to me.

by Bryony Harrison

Me neither

Yes. Actually I love bacon, maple syrup and pancakes. I

I've often had bacon & maple syrup at home, with my homemade pancakes. It's lovely. If we're home late at night from interstate, I'll cook tin baked beans on toast, bacon, a fried egg, & maple syrup over the top with a bit of parsley, if I have some!

by Miro

Oh Miro, that sounds lovely!

Oh Miro, I don't have an Aldi up here in the North! I am always hearing about the great prices they have on so many items!! Maple Syrup IS one of those expensive, superior products though, so I don't buy it often! It does help me to enjoy it a lot more!!

It is not something I would eat as I rarely have bacon if ever! Maple syrup does have that delicious smokiness which goes with both sweet and savoury, so I imagine this is a delightful combination.

You're not wrong there, Jules!

The secret is to use genuine maple syrup, NOT that maple flavoured stuff!!! Some items are not worth trying to 'fake it' with! It is more expensive, but heck! Who cares?!!!!!! Next time I spoil myself with bacon, I shall try the Maple Syrup with it, as I have some in my pantry!! Yum! It's just a pity about the eggs! Oh well, you can always enjoy those for me!

Hey Jules. When you try it have a go at drizzling the maple syrup over the bacon then cook it under the grill till crispy 😲😍😍 sooo yummy

Thanks redph!!!This sounds sooooo good!! I can almost taste it!!

Yes Jules, when only the BEST 1 will do! I used to pay $9 something for it, years ago, but now I can buy it in Aldi for about $6, so that is quite a saving for me!

Have never tried it....maybe before 2018....LOL

Yes, i dont mind it actually. It was served to me once, and i didnt realise there would be maple syrup on it, but when i tried it, it was delicious. It doesnt bother me if i have my bacon with maple syrup, now that i have tried it.

by Lluxi

A tad too sweet for me.

by helga

I like it. I love maple syrup, the really good stuff from Canada. My favourite us of maple syrup is to pour it over stewed nectarines, or put in over the nectarines whilst they stew.

Actually, this morning for Father's Day I cooked my husband pancakes, eggs and bacon which we ate with maple syrup. We really like this combination = salty/sweet. For those who haven't tried it.... give it a go before you decide straight out.

by wotsy

I don't eat bacon. But I do like maple syrup

by AJ

Yes, love the combination. My mouth is watering at the thought.

by Marie Vonow

Have you tried this bacon with REAL maple syrup idea, Marie?

No, tried it once, & found it to be too much of a clash of flavours.

I enjoy proper Canadian maple syrup on porridge in Winter, or sometimes with pancakes & icecream.

by donjo

I don't like them together.

by claud

No! If I want sweet, I want sweet. And if I want savoury, I want savoury! Cannot stand this 'fad' of mixing everything. And don't even start me on salted caramel!! Sheesh, enough already...
