• [OT] Would you like some tree sap with that?

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 24 16:41:56 2025
    It seems that inventive Quebeckers have developed a new drink that is
    starting to be noticed around the world: tree sap.

    Yes, the very tree sap that has traditionally been used to make maple
    syrup is now being filtered and pasteurized and sold as a drink in its
    own right. Sales are already significant, although still well behind
    coconut water.

    In case you're wondering, I have never tried this stuff and I've never
    seen it in a store so I can't give you a recommendation OR a warning.

    Geez, it’s an old classic shaggy dog joke.

    Woman wearing only a towel answers the door. It’s the milkman. He says the note she left him asked for 10 gallons of milk. Is that really what she
    meant to order? She says, yes, she’s going to take a milk bath. He says, well, in that case, do you want the milk pasteurized? She says:

    “No, just up to my tits.“

    If you still don’t get it, try reading it out loud

    I wonder if maple sap is similar in sweetness to sugar cane. As in
    taking a stalk of sugar cane and chewing on it to get at the sweet sap
    inside. Something I did on occasion in my youth.

    I seem to recall seeing a video of someone gathering up a bunch of
    maple sap saying it didn't have much taste. Certainly that person had
    no interest in drinking any of the sap.

    Wow, you Snow-Mexicans really are a clever bunch!

    I wonder if maple sap is similar in sweetness to sugar cane. As in

    I think you mean a "cane junkie"! ;)

    It was great as it's a source of sweet sap that grows back. Plus a guy
    up the road from us that grew the sugar cane also used it in a couple
    of ways. One was to boil it in one of those big vats (multipurpose as
    it could be used to water cattle or to boil a pig to loosen the hair
    as part of the butchering process.) It was also used to slowly simmer
    the sap from crushed sugar cane stalks to make up a nice syrup.
    Oh, and the other thing he did was to leave some of the sap from the
    crushed sugar cane out for a week or so to ferment. Never tried the
    fermented stuff but he seemed to like it.

    Chewing on a stalk of sugar cane was just a benefit of processing the
    cane.
