I'm curious what Canadian stuff made its way to you. I think one thing that should be a more well known thing is Honey Dill Sauce. Yum!
Not OP, but one thing that is kind-of a luxury here is maple syrup, which I buy infrequently as a treat - but so far, I had always bought the cheapest (US) variant I found here in Europe. Seeing that I buy it so infrequently anyway, I will go for a more premium Canadian one for sure next time I buy some.
Be sure to buy grade B, not grade A. Grade A just means lighter in color (less flavor) than grade B.
Grade B is now called amber, I believe.
But whatever, the darker coloured syrup has more flavour and is better value.
It might depend on where you are? I still see them labeled grade A/B here in the US, but some will say light or amber too.
I think that may be US labeling still in use in Vermont and New York.
Canadian maple syrup hasn’t been graded that way for some time. We’re in a syrup producing region and get it locally from producers.
Ooh good to know! The stuff I get is a mix of US and Canadian, so they probably are just using the US labeling.
