Maple syrup
-
Some months ago my brother went to Canada and brought us some Maple syrup. It is delicious, I never tasted anything like that, and I had never heard about it before here in Brazil. But I have no idea where to put it. I mean, what can you do with it, besides eating it with a spoon?

I've actually seen it being made here in Michigan. They tap little metal tubes into Maple trees (little spigots) and hang buckets on them. This drains some of the sap from the tree into the bucket (over a period of hours/days). The workers ride around on wagons and gather the buckets and empty them into a very large container on the wagon. The wagon takes hundreds of gallons of sap to a boiler where most of the water is boiled off. It takes between 20 and 50 litres of sap to make a litre of Maple syrup. The syrup is place on pancakes and it can be made into maple syrup candy. It's about the only reason to live in Michigan.
Weird. This is the same process to produce rubber. I wonder how they discovered this.

put it on waffles, ice cream, oatmeal... anything that needs a little sweetener on top.
Ice cream, what a wonderful idea.

we used to make it in our kitchen, when i lived in upstate NY. as you say, it takes a huge amount of sap to make syrup, so we would only get a tiny bit. but it was fun to do.

Try it on bacon. Bacon makes everything taste better.

It's great in plain or vanilla yogurt!

Come over to Canada and you'll see some truly disturbing things done with Maple syrup.

The theory I heard was that indians used to put the sap on meat they were cooking. Put enough of it on there and it will become sweet. You could ask your question about most of the food we eat. Who first ate clams? GAH.
And who first decided to milk a cow?

You mean, really disturbing, or disturbing for foreign visitors? Because here it is funny when our north hemisphere guests are offered some pretty common Brazilian things, like grilled chicken hearts ;P

Try it. You'll like it. :-D Just be careful you don't use too much. It is very sweet and a little goes a long way.
