@Dominica I don't really have an idea how it taste like.
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
-
Co-worker just showed me his pics of their maple syrup canning process they did over the weekend. He mentioned about the cold too and was surprised that you needed that.
-
We got our gallon for $47 because we got it Upstate. Here in downstate that same gallon is $100.
-
A gallon will last quite a while. Although probably not a year. Maybe not half. My kids eat a lot of pancakes.

@Carnival-Boy If you were referring to how long does maple syrup stay edible, pretty much indefinitely in the fridge.

That was going to be my question, too!
-
Lol yeah. As a sugar syrup, it is practically a preservative itself.

No, I was referring to how long it takes Scott to demolish a bottle
Made pancakes for breakfast this morning, as it's my daughter's birthday. 200g plain flour, 200ml buttermilk, 2 tsp baking soda, 2 eggs. I found myself wishing we had some maple syrup to go with them! -
It tastes so good with the real stuff that you do go through it quite quickly.
-
I go through about a gallon every month or 2. I use it as a sugar replacement in a lot of places.
-
I also use it in baking as a sugar replacement. I just made apple pie muffins this morning using it, actually. They are still in the oven.
@carnival-boy Happy birthday to your daughter
Now go out and splurge on some real maple syrup and repeat pancakes tomorrow!
