Russia: Maple Syrup & Peanut Butter!
Hello,
I was drinking my cup of delicious coffee and thinking about Maple Syrup and Peanut butter!
Maple Syrup and Peanut butter? You ask?
In Russia these two items are very very rare! They are also very expensive if you do find them. A small 12 oz jar of Maple syrup runs 510 Rubles ($20.00). A small jar (100 grams) of Peanut butter runs 285 Rubles. ($11.50)
I do not think, that you would feed your kids much of these items in America at that cost.
(I can not find imitation maple syrup at all.)
My wife had never had Peanut butter and Maple Syrup until she met me. Now she loves them! In fact I had to protect our precious supply of Maple Syrup this morning. She wanted to just pour it on plain toast. I had to explain that we make French Toast and use Maple Syrup. She was not really happy about my explanation and I could see that she did not accept my story about only using it on French Toast. :))
But I am promising her that I will make French Toast with cinnamon this weekend! I hope She will be happy now!
Kyle
