I want to send someone a simple gift. How hard is it to find real maple syrup in North Carolina?

Wouldn't something like that be readily available in a grocery store?

I always figured that was just maple flavored syrup.

I'm talking the 100% Vermont maple syrup type but I don't want to send something that readily available in a store.

Unlikely.

Order from Amazon.

I bought some from Walmart this past monday, and do so once a month. Pure 100% vermont maple syrup. My life depends on it; my wife would murder me if I brought home anything else.

Whether it can be found or not isn't always the issue. Maple Syrup is relatively expensive, so is appreciated as a gift for that reason alone. Depends on their economic situation though.

Look carefully. There will be some that are genuine maple syrup and some that are maple flavored syrup.

not real maple syrup.

In which case, I was thinking you would have to stick to Vermont/NH/Maine to get real maple syrup in the US?


but why maple syrup in NC? Why not send them some real BBQ? (which obviously only exists in NC)

Idk... I could always get real maple syrup in grocery stores in Chicago and NY. Not that fake crap. Real, genuine maple syrup.

On a side note, did you know NYS is the country's second largest producer of maple syrup?
