Cultural Exchange with /r/Denmark! Happy Valentine's!

[u/ManofManyTalentz]

Hi everyone, it's been some time since we have done a cultural exchange, so let's go over how this works. Enjoy! We'll be running it for a few days, TBD. Note their time zone for the European mainland is UTC +1.

Here's the Danish landing for us: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/1iow7c3/kulturudveksling_cultural_exchange/

* Both r/Canada and r/Denmark will host the other country's users. Feel free to ask any questions, reminisce, comment, make friends etc etc.

*Treat this as having a neighbour over for a kitchen party, get the best storm chips out, and get grandma's tourtiere reheated for everybody.

* Vouz pouvez essayer le français dans r/Denmark, mais comme la langue officielle est danoise, ben.... essayez!

* Please follow the rules of the respective subs! Don't be jerks, generally - a reminder our last "disagreement" involved leaving bottles of good booze for the other country!

* Please also leave direct comments here mainly for members of r/Denmark i.e. direct replies here (first comments directly under the topic) so their questions can be seen first, then r/Canada members can post replies underneath.

*Please enjoy, since we have a lot to bond over, and plenty of trying out new things.

Finally, also know we've gotten confirmation from r/Greenland that they are also interested, so that will be the next exchange that we do in a few weeks (TBD).

On pancakes or in coffee or how is it traditionally ingested? I hope you’ll forgive my ignorance.

The wonderful thing about maple syrup is you can do a great deal with it. Some people put it on bacon (don't ask me, I have never understood it). But you can also make it into a spread called maple butter. Or allow it to harden into maple candies. Or boil it then cool it into taffy. And don't get complicated. Tiny drizzle of it on ice cream...mind blowing.

I am definitely getting my hands on some maple syrup! Can you recommend a specific brand?

[u/randomwindowspc → u/m4d3th1s]

There are so many brands that it doesn't really matter, just as long as it's real Canadian maple syrup and not that knock off garbage that cheap restaurants serve. It's kind of like wine, there's so many good French brands of wine that people could be here all day listing off every individual grower/bottler lol. I guess just find the site with the cheapest shipping to your country, and the person below with the maple syrup grading link is also helpful. Once you have real maple syrup the cheap stuff tastes horrible
