Starbucks: MAPLE
What better way to end the week, w/ exciting news for New England natives or those who like new-england-type flavors: starbucks’ newest flavor is maple. It can be had as a maple latte, maple frappuccino, or – the drink that starbucks is pushing – a maple macchiato which, aside from its alliterative prowess, has a higher proportion of espresso, prob to help cut the sweetness that inherently goes w/ maple flavoring which they call "maple sauce". (doesn’t sound like 100% maple syrup, does it. which, while wholesome, has a subtle flavor.) us maple fans are grateful starbucks decided to roll out maple at all stores (it was originally intro’d last year in New England only)

btw, while of course there is nothing more exciting than news of a new starbucks flavor, marvo at impulsive buy does a cool item on the new hard-to-find Cocaine Energy drink, which is selling like hotcakes on ebay
Nothing against the Maple Starbucks but I have better ways to "end my week"

I noticed that they have brought back their Oatmeal Walnut Maple scone, too. At first, I thought it was only in Boston when I was there last weekend, but I was delighted to see that they have them in the Dallas area, too.
Word verification: mpbnokto. Isn't that the name of one of the actors in Catch A Fire?
They had small freebies of the macchiato twice in the past 2 weeks at the Preston and Royal store. It's very sweet and just not my cuppa.
I do, however, love maple syrple and have lots of the real Canadian thing in the fridge, next to the cans of runnin' 'round my brain.
#3 syrup is the best, in my opinion, BK. But, like you, I can't fathom putting it in coffee.
Which is sweeter, the maple or the pumpkin? I've always had trouble conceiving the logic of a pumpkin-flavored coffee beverage.
If sbux opened in Uptown on Maple, could Marples get a Maple on Maple?
I missed this item Friday, but I do like maple, tho I wouldn't want it in an overly sweet concoction. As a child used to make maple-flavored snow ice cream, using maple extract, not the syrup (I didn't live in maple tree country). Just a few drops made it cooling and refreshing.
A comment re the item on Luna Sunrise nutrition bars: I tried them on your recommendation,and my deluxe Kroger's has lots of flavors, including lemon, cranberry and chocolate pecan. I found them very dry, and milk didn't seem to help much. Then it occurred to me that, like a biscotti, they needed to be dipped in red wine. Pretty good that way, tho not as good an accompaniment as your very excellent biscotti, which I was priviliged to try once.
I don't mind a little red wine for breakfast.
and how many bottles had you guzzled before writing that post, ms.ery?
why, ms. lush, sometimes i don't even finish a bottle before lunch,
You pair anything with wine, it's going to taste good.
ms.ery might try dipping them in a glass of bourbon. guaranted to be a killer taste.
I would like to hear from someone who has tried the maple coffee drinks. Anyone?
Taste it? We don't need to taste it. I don't have to show you any stinking reviews.
I don't mind a little bourbon for breakfast, Red.
BOO.
Dogs should be tasted, but never heard!
