I guess I've got red maple on the brain. It is for absolutely no practical reason.
But I saw an ad for maple syrup somewhere... I think either craigslist or marketplace... definitely by a hobby producer. It said it was syrup from red maple trees as though that is a selling point.

Is that a thing? Do any of you prefer, or run into folks who say they prefer, the syrup from red maple trees? If I were a betting man, I would bet that studies on flavor have been done and that they showed no perceptible difference in flavor, but that sort of thing doesn't necessarily change opinions, perception, or lore!

Just curious.
