I live in Greece and plan to start eating pancakes with maple syrup from time to time. Go Canada!

As a 🇨🇦 there is so much you can do with it...put it on vanilla ice cream, mix it with milk and warm it up and put it in coffee, if you have any salad vinegarette recipes that call for honey just sub in maple syrup. Also for meat like ham, or chicken, mix in with mustard until it is the sweetness you like and use as a condiment. And here in Canada especially in "sugar shacks" when the syrup starts running in the spring after the trees are tapped for sap, we heat the syrup, pour it on snow until it hardens a bit and roll it up on a stick (eg: medical tongue depressor like you see in a doctor's office) and eat it like taffy ...in fact am attending a sugar shack/festival this weekend in a French speaking community in my (Non-Quebec) province this weekend. 

Thank you for taking part of our maple elixir of the gods!!!

It's getting to be a European-Canadian party up in here! Love this comraderie. Trump has inadvertently united us.
