My first boyfriend, who was Canadian, taught me to love maple syrup on the classic white bread, american cheese grilled cheese. Ham works with this too. Always use real maple syrup, no Aunt Jemina or such. None of my American friends have ever tried it and still make fun of me. I don't know if it's popular in Canada or if it was just his own thing, but it's my own little secret pleasure for the last forty years and I say thank you Canada! And thanks for the article, I loved it. Gonna go make a grilled cheese for breakfast. Cheers!
It was invented during the "Great Depression", back during the late 1920's, why you ask? Because it was cheaper to make than " a meat sandwich"! ...............and still get the protein you need. People couldn't afford to buy meat back then, so they improvised. Looks like we're headed that way again these days!!
