Maple sugar candy is a nostalgic taste from my childhood... love the
stuff! Christmas wasn't Christmas without my maple sugar santa.

I don't mind a maple glaze on a ham, but I sure wouldn't put it on
steak... or pickes! Gack! I'm all for variety of condiments and for a
variety of USE of condiments. I would find putting maple syrup on
everything just as disgusting as putting ketchup on everything. There
are things it goes well with... and things it really doesn't. (In both
the case of the maple syrup AND ketchup.)
