So okay JKB I'll bite, which one tasted better to you?
Well Bill, we all know that taste is subjective to the taster. The stuff from VT had a richer maple flavor, while the other stuff tasted more like eating a teaspoon of sugar that was slightly flavored.
Personally, I really didn't like either one, but one was much better than the other.
I'm sure Tony's stuff rocks!, so if you can find a small producer like him that puts the passion and care that they do, that will be the best stuff.
My BIL use to get his from a neighbor he grew up with in NY, and that was really good.
Someone ought to start a pickle thread this season. I know, I know, everyone makes the best
