Maple syrup is a whole different ball game in Quebec. It's basically a food staple in most Quebec households compared to the rest of the country.

I'm <300 km south of the border.

When I was young, maple syrup was served with pancakes, but eventually I just preferred honey (aka "bee barf") on the rare occasion that I had them.

I do remember maple sugar candy as a treat, but I haven't really had a craving to go look for it as an adult.

I never have had a particular desire to visit Quebec, but since the COVID-19 restrictions, it's been on my mind, because I can't if I wanted to.

As a Quebecois (abroad), I go through a few 250ml bottles a year. It's not something you'd drink by the litre, but it does go in everything.
