Do you eat Maple Syrup?
Would you have it on pancakes?
I like mixing the syrup in my muffins. Said some Australians.
Some people drew it on their flags for 150 years. Canadians.
How about frying the leaves? Say What?
Would you eat salty sweet fried maple leaves? Say what?
At first glance, I thought, I’m not hearing this right, say WHAT?
But then, when I watched on, about how a lady in Japan made Maple leaf Tempura for 50 years, I was truly amazed.
From Hisakuni-Sen Do:
“As beautiful as they are, autumn leaves can become a huge headache when they fall everywhere in Japan, however, instead we turned this seasonal flood of garbage into a tasty treat by cleaning, salting and frying their maple leaves in slightly sweetened batter.”
