Swede here, I had never tasted maple syrup before a few weeks ago, when I bough some mostly as a way to support Canada, well it was a symbolic gesture....
Anyway, I tested some on some excellent Swedish ice cream.
Really nice combo.
I realize that it's a bit of a delicacy for you, but maple syrup, in very light amounts, can be an excellent addition to savory dishes as well. It gives a touch of sweetness, and a hint of maple flavoring.
I like a little knock in my coffee sometimes.
I put ~6g along with cinnamon in oatmeal on occasion and it's really nice.

Trump was reported as saying "Since the maple leaf, and the trees themselves are so closely aligned with with Canada, traitor Canada, what used to be Americans beloved hat. I am banning all maple syrup imports and products. This is all Joe Biden's fault. Only the best American syrup shall be used from now on, made from the greatest American corn ever produced, because of me the greatest president in the history of the world." /s
This was pretty realistic, ngl
I used to think I didn't like maple syrup, but one day I paid more for a local organic kind. That was when I realized that not only do I like it, but that maple syrup is quite possibly my favorite sweetener and up until that point I had only ever been eating artificially flavored corn syrup.
My wife and I visited Germany 3 years ago and had apple pancakes. Absolutely incredible.
But honestly, all of the food we had in Germany was great. I know it's Frankfurt specific, but my wife got addicted to grüne sauce and is upset she can't get it in Canada. After the speech yesterday, one of the first things she said to me was, "Does this mean we'll be able to get grüne sauce in Canada?"
Southern german here. I have never seen pancakes with syrup either. But around here you are not even getting pancakes anywhere anyway. It's always Crêpes or Kaiserschmarrn instead.
But isn't that usually sugar beet syrup?
That's what I've been wondering too. Wee certainly don't have any "relationship" with maple syrup. It's just EU tryiny to confirm ties with Canada.
i think there might be lots of ways europeans enjoy their pancakes. just maybe.
Fun fact, our overseas syrup exports have jumped noticeably since this whole thing started.
A nice gesture from you all, if maybe a little stereotypical.
EC pushing for frexit now ?
This wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Up to the point where in French, blinis are defined as a type of crêpe.
FWIW you can also get French-style crepes in Canada.
You know what else they like?

In celebration, I had both Sleeman and Bavaria last night.
No, pancakes are disgusting.
Wha—? That must be irony i didn't catch

And we've always loved not being threatened with annexation by our closest trade partners. Truly a match made in heaven.
