The following facts came from The Fact Site.
17th December – Maple Syrup Day.
Like the humble taco, maple syrup was eaten by indigenous peoples long before European settlers came to the Americas and stole everything.
So we only have a few oral histories and a bit of archaeological evidence of its use, rather than a nice neat history recorded by monks or particularly precocious explorers.
Until the 1930s, North America was the world’s largest producer of maple syrup, until Canada overtook them.
75% of the world’s maple syrup comes from the Quebec region of Canada.
It’s probably best to eat today’s treat with pancakes or waffles, no good can come of gulping down a whole bottle like that scene from Super Troopers… unless you want to be all that is man, of course.
