We have some pretty good local maple syrup up here. One of our neighbours has a sugar shack and cabin farther north and dropped off a jug when it was ready. The stuff is pretty tasty

I actually did some back reading on 'Aunt Jemima' and the whole story has some direct racial/slave history overtones that are pretty hard to ignore. They were talking on the radio the other day too about The University of Mississippi being referred to as 'Ole Miss'. Apparently that is what slaves used to refer to the wife of the slave owner as. Anyhow point is I didn't realize how much racial segregation/slavery history plays into modern day products and names, etc. I don't know what to make of it but it pretty crazy when you think about how it just became an acceptable part of society and marketing brands, sports teams, etc.
