Canadian maple syrup.
There's nothing wrong with new england maple syrup, but yes, real maple syrup not "pancake syrup" with maple flavoring.
That's me, I don't really care where the maple syrup came from as long as it's real
While I agree, the price difference between "maple syrup" (maple flavoured corn syrup) and maple syrup is way more than $5. A bottle of genuine maple syrup is $20+.
Even as a Canadian, I honestly prefer the cheap butter flavored syrup. I grew up on that stuff and I fucking love it so much. Real maple syrup is still delicious but I'll always choose some good old butter flavored syrup.
It's not called maple syrup if it's not real maple syrup. They'll call it maple flavored syrup, pancake syrup, but never maple syrup.
Costco sells real Canadian maple syrup at a fair price (cost plus a few percent).
You can get real maple syrup in the states for around $15 (and that's honestly NYC pricing). It's not corn syrup, but it's also not Canadian maple syrup.
But one of my favorite things about Canada absolutely is the abundance of maple syrup here. Maple syrup candies are my favs.
WF sells real canadian syrup too.
It's all run by a cartel!
Second this. I even put it in coffee instead of just sugar. It's so good!
I always make cold brew so I can't say how it is with "regular" hot coffee lol
