Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Hey look another list for people to complain about =P

Its not a horrible list but like most things made by someone else I think you will find there are things about it you don't like about it....and some will dislike it more than others....shocking revelations to be sure =)
