In reply to:

Hmm, it would be nice to be in a position to comment. I've had New Hampshire syrup, and Vermont syrup, (Vermont's much better), but sirop quebecois is an unknown quantity. I guess the quebecoise I know got intimidated when she heard that I'd tried the non plus ultra of maple syrups, from Vermont. Perfectly understandable, really.

When we were traipsing around the US and Canada (inadvertently) in 2001 we bought maple syrup. We had some from Noo Yok, Vermont, New Hampshire, Ontario(!) and Quebec. Frankly, my dears, I couldn't tell any difference. [/philistinia]

'At's parboly...'

When you eaten New York State maple surple you realize that Vermont's is superior to Quebec's?

As to "cadaverine;" is there a word for a noun that sounds like an adjective being cleverly used as one?
