For me, it's the 47 organic maple syrup.

Most maple syrup comes from the same place. It’s almost entirely the exact same stuff as long as it is pure maple syrup. Aside from pancakes and french toast, it’s nice on a light white cake, scrambled eggs and sausage, add some chilis and glaze salmon with it, or just pour it on snow and then wrap it around a stick.

The top two aren't even maple syrup and why the fuck is Aunt Jemima's so expensive? It's just corn syrup.

Aren't they trying to trick the yuropoors of their shekels?

>>13146087

Isn't that what Americans call maple syrup?

It can replace honey or brown sugar in recipes. You can also use it to make amazing baked beans - any recipe for Boston baked beans will do, just replace the treacle with maple syrup and use about half what the recipe says unless you're a closet burger.

Any real maple syrup is good, even grade B. Organic isn't very important because I don't think they even use pesticides on maple trees. Use it on pancakes, waffles, French toast, porridge/ oatmeal or drizzle over toast in place of jam. Peanut butter and maple syrup sandwich. If you've never had it before please try it it's quite delicious.

That's the "people" from outside of New England. Please don't lump them in with us.

Hey, I tap my maple trees and I'm in Ohio.

>>13146135
Yeah it's really awful how dumb people here are. Even expensive hipster brunch places serve fake maple syrup. There's plenty of the real stuff at the grocery store but I bet Aunt Jemima outsells it 10 to 1. It's not that they can't afford it people are just cheap and stupid.

>maple leaf syrup
maple syrup doesn't come from leaves.
it's just tree sap that they boil until it reduces down to a syrup-like texture

get the kind in cans from quebec or ontario
it's not the best but it's a good start

This, get what says "pure" and "Maple", not "Maple flavored" etc. That's kinda like calling Cool Whip whipped cream. It isn't.

You can tell a difference between pure maple syrups when they're on their own, on a spoon sort of thing. But desu when they're on/in something, the quality and source of it doesn't make any noticeable difference. Definitely different than "Maple flavored corn syrup" though. Different taste and consistency.

If it's noticeably cheaper than others, it's probably not real maple syrup.

Maple syrup doesn't taste good

>>13146656
I don't think I've ever had Cool Whip.

What does it actually taste like, and more importantly, what the fuck is it actually made out of?

Anon, any real maple syrup will do.

There's some minor variation in color and flavor, and I like the darker richer kinds but as long as it isn't just flavored corn syrup, it will work great!

>>13146069
We really going to sit here and ignore that OP said "maple leaf syrup" like somebody out there crushing leaves for sugar

>>13146069
Cheapest syrup for anything waffle/crepe wtvr.
>>13146270
this stuff on ice cream

or just on snow if you visit quebec.

I only buy maple syrup made in vermont because I hate leafs

>>13146069
candy and pancakes
it's like honey if honey were dark and gay flavored and not made by cuties vomiting into each others mouths

>>13146662
Haha, good one friendo!

>>13146662
Fake maple syrup and maple flavoring is awful. Real maple syrup is a lot more subtle in its flavor and sweetness

>>13146069
It can be used to make some pretty nice galze.

>>13146144
This. Peanut butter and syrup was my favorite move as a kid. I wonder what it tastes like with the real stuff. I use raw honey now.

>>13146665
Doesn't reaalllly taste like whipped cream. Tastes a bit more like real shitty soft-serve iced cream when it's still frozen (you're supposed to let it soften in the fridge before serving, dunno if I ever have). But it's a sweet, creamy, sorta fluffy topping so it fulfills the role. Google the ingredients, but it's basically sugar, water, and oils with some small amounts of milk dirivitives in it.

Lasts for a long ass time in the freezer so we usually keep a container around, but when we plan ahead a nice dessert we'll buy the real stuff.

Vermont has better maple syrup than canada

Kill yourself before I do it for you

this is the only maple syrup available in my local supermarket. Is it good?
It costs a little more than 5 eurobucks for a 250 gr bottle.

make sure you read the ingredients that there's no corn syrup, it should be pure Maple syrup, other than that maple syrup all tastes the same to me

Might be weird but i love to use it in soups, sauces, Curry etc as substitute for sugar, because there's no need to dissolve it and it tastes better for me. it's also great for roasted squash

As long as it is real maple syrup it basically all tastes the same.

>>13149016
This. It is already a s

>>13149029
This. It is already a syrup so I use it to sweeten coffee or in other places where you want it to dissolve easily vs honey.

I use it on top of cut up fruit.

Not legally on the label. At a restaurant they may call it maple syrup untruthfully, but at the grocery store if it says maple it's surely tree sap. Most people just say syrup or pancake syrup for the hfcs kind. Personally I buy Krogers Premium Selection brand maple syrup if I buy syrup at all, which is extremely rare.

>As long as it is real maple syrup it basically all tastes the same.
what about different grades?
is it just a color thing?

>>13149137
I mean there's some minor difference in flavor but really all that matters is that it is real maple syrup.

Don't get hung up on where it is from or which sort it is; real maple syrup is what you want, of another sub-variant.

>>13146069
Just get Aunt Jemima's, it basically tastes the same.

>>13149152
Immean, its like soy sauce so you can go down a weird route where shit is shit and quality is quality...but mostly its just something you need to get an ok version of and youll be ok.

>>13148987
Same here same price. Ingredients say pure maple syrup. It's fucking expensive though.
