Where I grew up off Caplis-Sligo, There was a family that grew fields of sugar cane. We would walk down the road and just pick a stalk- They also made cane syrup with it. They had a thing that sat on a pole, like a gearbox, attached to the top was a long pole with a horse tied to each end. As the horses walked in a circle, they insert the cane stalks into a hole on the side. Out the other side came the squeezed stalk and the liquid was then boiled in troughs. Now thats "old-school"!

vixweb,
I'm wit'cha. When I was growing up, I would visit my cousins out in the country. An old man would show up once or twice a week in a truck filled with goodies. Cane syrup came in a can. We used to buy it and put it on our pancakes. (hotcakes is what we called them back then). Good stuff. |
