Discussion: Jellybeans!

I just was curious to see what kind of ads this might bring on.

Still, jellybeans are always a fine choice!

Swampfox, I thought it was watermelon that you liked? And yes we have it here in Canada to.

Aaaaah, Hammer, once you leave the motherland (the South), it's not possible to get decent watermelon, so I don't even try. The stuff you have in Canada can't be more than a pallid imitation. It would be like, say, getting maple syrup made in Texas and expecting it somehow to measure up to the liquid gold from Quebec. It's just dumb thinking.

The subject seems to have confused the master ad generator as there are none down there now, the second time I've checked.

Whoops - now there are 2 for different Personal Trainer things.

Wonder if you could make syrup here. No idea how the Uvalde Bigtooth stacks up against other species for sugar concentration in the sap, but I think pretty much any maple will work if you're patient anough.

I believe J-J has fallen victim to internet fraud. Anybody can tell that picture isn't from Texas. Note the complete lack of thorny underbrush.

As for Maple Syrup, the experience of my family (which has made Maple syrup in three provinces and two states) is that no matter how patient you are, there's no substitute for lattitude. The further north, the better.

I believe the Texas equivalent of maple syrup is tiquila.

Having camped in Lost Maples, I can verify that it is not actually in Texas. Somewhere between the state road and the parking lot there is a wormhole that transports you to some other universe, a universe in which "Texas" has no thorny plants or ferns...
