"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

So Canadians are giving up on milk and just drinking maple syrup now? Sweet!

I once made the mistake of telling my american coworkers that I buy over a gallon of fresh maple syrup from a local sugar shack each year and I was excited for spring because I was running low… I think I warped their perception of the canadian diet.

The crazy part is, I don’t consume maple syrup that often. But when I do, it’s always way too much.

It makes a good salad dressing when mixed with balsamic vinegar and oil. Also a decent BBQ sauce of Ketchup, Mustard, Soy Sauce, and Maple Syrup

My wife has a mean marinade using maple syrup. I love to use it with chicken thighs I throw on the barbecue for that sweet caramelization.

Nice. It is also good mixed into vodka :)

I have bottles of Sortilège (maple whiskey) and a Tomahawk maple cream (similar to Bailey’s) on the kitchen bar. I don’t even like whiskey usually, but with maple syrup everything becomes good I guess

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hmm, never tried Tomahawk. I will look for that.

Tried it once on Christmas Eve from another bottle in coffee. I’m not into sweet coffee usually, but that was good.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

if you like coffee, this vodka is suprisingly amazing. My wife picked it up and I was skeptical because of all the infuses drink that are crap, But this has amazing flavour. It is troublesome in that it goes down like water.

Name checks out.

As an American, I am jealous.

I tried explaining this to some Australian friends online and they thought I was trolling.
