But back on topic. Maple Syrup, hmm? Doesn't a lot of that come from Canada? Does it taste better up there since it's fresh? Are pancakes the more popular breakfast item, or do waffles have them beat? and has anyone had it fresh from the tree at all? what's that like?

 fresh from the tree is just sap.  you first have to collect it and boil off alot of the water (concentrating it).  If you count after that being done as fresh than yes. its not any different.
