a lot of maple syrup, maple taffy, maple butter and maple sugar at a sugar shack. they were so happy to talk to us and take our money that they gave us two maple lollipops. we have enough syrup to last a year. earlier in the season i bought something more expensive that was very thin. we are having a taste test today with waffles and two or three other kinds of maple syrup.
partly it is the sugar shack experience that makes the syrup better. this place had a gluten free menu and gave us cards to put at our places. the wait staff paid attention to the cards when bringing our food. we had dinner and then went out and had maple taffy made on snow. we could only eat one apiece - mine made me a little high.
the weird thing is that all the quebec syrup seems to come in the same cans (glass is a lot more expensive). there is a blank place on the can and found out that you can just buy the cans. guessing that's what all the sugar shacks do and then put on their own label. there are pics of geezers filling cans by hand.
