“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.

    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.

            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

              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.

                  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.
