If you have a few Maple tree's in your own yard you can tap them:

@scottalanmiller We haven't been since we have been back home (and Michael is done with school). I think this summer would be fun to visit again (hint hint)
-
@Bill-Kindle We have friends who do just that. It has been fun doing the syrup the old fashioned way with them a few times. And making maple sugar and snow candy yummy!
-
Based on my Research Maple tree is not likely to grow here in our country.
but in our Province we are making Sugarcane syrup. -
@Joyfano Nope, and even if they did, you only get to make maple syrup when the sap is running, and a freeze and thaw cycle is necessary for that to happen. Cane syrup is similar, but maple syrup has a distinct flavor that's hard to describe if you've never had the real deal.

@joyfano Cane Syrup is just sweet Maple Syrup has a very distinct flavor very similar to honey (do you have dark honey there?)
-
We bought a gallon of syrup yesterday!
-
I am waiting on getting some here. They just started making syrup here in the last week or so. If I wait a little bit it will be richer in taste (the first sap is a little light for me).
-
I just realized that you can make out the Johnny Walker Platinum behind the syrup.

I have no idea how to describe it. Maple syrup is a "reference taste" that you use to describe other things. Never had to explain it to someone who had never had it before.

I think i need to get out from here to taste that Maple syrup

Maple is a pretty major flavoring here. Lots of things have real or fake maple syrup flavor and a lot of things have maple smoked flavor (cooked with maple wood). Maple is also popular for furniture and cabinetry.
-
A gallon of maple syrup! Wow! How much did that set you back? How long will it last? It's about eight bucks for a very small bottle here in the UK - generally Canadian. Is Canadian better than American? It's generally too expensive for me to justify, so we stick with the classic, and considerably inferior, Lyle's Golden Syrup instead.
-
Canadian and American are the same. The US makes it in NY and Vermont and Canada makes it in Quebec. If you check a map, that is one region just split by a river. So it is a single area just with a border through the middle of it
