Who says only Americans deep fry ANYTHING and EVERYTHING?
The Spirit Tree Estate Cidery in Caledon, Ontario, Canada is serving a new food this weekend . . . DEEP-FRIED MAPLE LEAVES. They took actual maple leaves . . . cured them in salt . . . dipped them in tempura batter . . . and deep fried them.
Deep fried maple leafs?! Yup, that's right! We've salt cured our maple leafs and coated them in cider tempura batter and drizzled them with a maple apple soya sauce and peanut praline. So fun to eat. Here for a limited time.... until all the leafs are gone! Thanks for the great pic @toqueltd . . . . #Spirittreecidery #tastethespirit #catchthespirit #localproduce #bistro #bakeryshop #farmshop #locallysourced #artisanfood #eatwelllivewell #localproduce #dinelocal #brickovenpizza #localeats #explorecaledon #exploreontario #ontariofarmers #caledon #georgetownontario #brampton #oakville #mississauga #greatertorontoarea #ontario_adventures #discoverontario #ontariotourism

Although I'm a huge foodie, a lot of people don't know that I'm actually a REALLY picky eater ???? This year has been a tad bit out of the box for me. When asked what's the craziest thing I've eaten, I used to never have an answer, but this year I've got two! For one- I tried ALLIGATOR (yes, you read that right) in New Orleans because it was a must-try and to my surprise it actually tasted a lot like chicken ????????♀️ Secondly, last week on our #visitONfarms tour, I was pleasantly surprised when a deep fried maple leaf showed up on my plate! Slowly but surely stepping out of my foodie comfort zone. I'd love to know, what's the craziest thing you've eaten?

Then they cover them in maple syrup, soy dressing, and peanut praline.
You Can Eat Deep-Fried Maple Leaves In Ontario This Weekend And It's Just Too Canadian
There are some things you just have to eat to call yourself a true Canadian. Peameal bacon, butter tarts, poutine, and Nanaimo bars to name a few. A whole new food has just entered the scene, and it takes the trophy for most Canadian meal ever.
