Take that, Canada!!! :)

they're just jealous they can't make maple syrup pops on snow.

that's a thing here. you go to a sugar shack in winter (guest house at a maple farm, where they cook up MASSIVE brunches), and after you've eaten yourself silly, you go outside. There's a guy with a big trough full of packed down snow.

He spoons out hot maple syrup onto the snow, where it cools down quite fast (obviously) and turns into a taffy like substance. You then grab a popsicle stick, and roll up the taffy-ized maple syrup onto the stick. Then you lick it if you want, or you can just chew the blob of maple syrup taffy.

It's friggin GREAT.

Glad you explained what a "sugar shack" is. Down heer, in Dixie "Sugar Shack" is something completely different. :p

Are you sure those are maple leaves? That gives me an idea...

Japanese maple leaves, looks like. Different from north American maples.

But resembles the almighty Ganja leef.

Yeah I caught that

We have Japanese Maples here in North America. I even have one in my front yard. Never once have I been tempted to cook and eat the foliage, though.

Oh I know they can grow in North America. used to have a few at my parents' old place outside Toronto.

But I would assume you just need to be at a sufficient personal altitude above sea level for that bizarro idea to strike.

Don't forget, the Japanese first salt-cure them for a year prior to deep frying. Crazy bastids.

I thought it was the radiation.

I'm curious - might see if there's some in the local Asian Market.
