    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?

      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.

        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

          Probably some guy who had witnessed an attempt to milk a bull.

            I've heard that it is delicious in coffee but I've not tried it mixing it in yet.

            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.

              The hell it is. 90 degrees F and 98% humidity isn't nice in anyone's vocabulary. September's OK, except for the fact that it means snow is only a few months away.

                              Good question. It seems to be counterintuitive.

                                Maybe they just tried soaking everything in lye until they found something that tasted better afterward. They stopped too soon in Scandinavia.

                                    Use it as a marinade for pork chops. The sugar will carmelize when you grill.
