Nothing quite complements a stack of buttermilk goodness like a drizzle of that Canadian awesome sauce.

9. Coffee

I'm surprised this hasn't found its way to the Tim Hortons menu yet. Maple syrup ranks lower on the Glycemic Index than table sugar and also provides some vitamins and minerals. Give your brew a jolt of Canadian with this sweetening option

8. Donuts

To a Canadian, this comes as no surprise - we've been stuffing our faces with this golden deliciousness for quite some time. My American uncle was stunned, surprised, and downright tickled by this incredible treat.

7. Booze

That's right, a spoon full of Maple Syrup makes any beverage go down smooth or simply use it as a chaser, like a true Canadian.

6. Snow

Again, no surprise to my fellow Canucks - any true Canadian made a trip to the Maple Syrup Patch as a child. Seriously, this is a field trip for us. I showed this to a bunch of Americans on my Twitter feed and they thought I was kidding.

5. Veggies!

whhhaaaat? Yep, veggies. A lot of people glaze their vegetables to make the little b*stards go down easier. Maple Syrup is a healthier alternative to sugar and gives everything a subtle yet pleasing hint of Canadian

4. Meat! Vegans, look away!

Glaze your barbecue in a bit of sticky syrup. Lots of BBQ sauces now come in maple flavour, <-- the spell check is flagging the 'u' #CanadianProblems --> But I prefer 100% pure syrup.

3. The Bedroom

Gotta keep things PG, so I'll make this quick - soooooo much better than chocolate sauce or whipped cream.

2. Bacon

I know I already listed meat, but bacon deserves its own mention - if you need to ask why, we can't be friends. Maple bacon - or any other breakfast meat for that matter - makes any breakfast a Canadian breakfast.
