   I have been making maple syrup since 1972 and have found some of what 
Euell Gibbons said to be a bit amusing especially when he spoke of taste. 
For instance, Silver Maple syrup tastes nothing like corn syrup.  I tap six 
species of Maple.  Box Elder adds a buttery quality when blended with other 
kinds.
