the white chocolate thread made me search for a maple sugar thread, and all i found was a thread about horrible butter syrup, which included this
Also, there has been not enough discussion on this thread of the glories of MAPLE SUGAR CANDY -- which, again, you have to get the REAL stuff and not the "maple-flavored" crap. That was always in our stockings on Christmas. I suddenly feel like my holiday experience is incomplete.

:(
― pc user, Thursday, 27 December 2007 00:19 (eighteen years ago)
even in pancakatoriums! depressing really. Though if I found it I would drink it from the bottle.

as i noted on the other syrup thread, my dad is known to nip from the jug.

you all need to go to a cabane à sucre.
― s1ocki, Thursday, 27 December 2007 00:38 (eighteen years ago)
the more I think about it the more it becomes clear that i like maple anything, really.

i've been to a sugar shack once, as a kid. i mostly remember the big metal boiling tub of syrup. smelled good.
― tipsy mothra, Thursday, 27 December 2007 00:46 (eighteen years ago)
(i don't know about farmers markets, i haven't any syrup/sugar stalls but never specifically looked either. you'd think there would be, at least seasonally.)

(haven't SEEN any)
I used to get maple candy shaped like santa claus at christmas time. And a few years ago my sister sent me a huge jar of maple cream - partially crystallized maple syrup - I ate it all with a spoon. Trader Joe's has wine bottle sized grade B syrup and that is where I get my current fix. So very delicious.

is maple syrup an uncommon experience for uk'ers? other non-americans? or is it common but primarily in artificial form?
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 17:34 (eighteen years ago)
I'm pretty sure I saw the real stuff (can't remember if it was vermont or canada) at waitrose.
