Thanks a lot, David.
Great to be here.
Oh, wow.
I say syrup?
I mean, I don't really know.
Syrup in French?
Well, you know, I think it's either the Anishinaabe or the Haudenosaunee have a legend about a... They've got a bunch of legends.
One is a squirrel climbs up to a tree branch and bites the little twig off and then licks the sap that's dripping out in springtime.
There's another one where somebody throws an axe or a tamahawk against the...
you know, a tree trunk and then somebody leaves a vessel underneath and it drips the sap in.
And then the, the, the wife apparently forgot to get water to make supper.
So she puts a pot of a clay pot of sap on the fire with the, with the sap in it.
And then the meat turns out sweet.
So, I mean, there there's anyway, we definitely learned sugaring from the first peoples in Canada, um, where they learned it is, uh, is lost in the sands of time.
Yeah, I mean, basically you have the first peoples were using, you know, vessels made from birch bark and little twigs stuck in a slit in the tree to drip the sap into it.
When the settlers got here, we started with, you know, tin, first wooden troughs.
to catch the sap, but those tended to tip over or get the sap got drunk by cows and stuff like that.
So it was kind of problematic.
Eventually evolved to basically buckets, you know, made of tin.
And then later the problem was that the tin was welded with lead, which got into the syrup.
