It is rare to find a café in Vermont that does not serve genuine maple syrup with pancakes or French toast. The importance of maple syrup plus a large population of vintage diners means that breakfast is a big deal in this state. That good syrup also is the flavor foundation for creemees, the Green Mountain State’s version of custard, as well as for maple cream pie, maple donuts, and maple ice cream. As a matter of fact, Vermont just may be the nation’s #1 ice cream state, with small-batch farms and parlors producing pints of the creamiest anywhere. It also is a place where traditional hidebound Yankee fare still can be found in the form of red flannel hash, Indian pudding, and American chop suey.
