Maple syrup

Where might I be able to purchase a bottle of authentic, delicious maple syrup? It'll be a gift for my British friend. I'd also rather buy from a store in the Boston area than order online.

Heh, having traveled across much of the country I can safely say that there are a lot of places where the stuff can be darned hard to find (you'd think high fructose corn syrup flowed from the trees!), but Massachusetts (and elsewhere in New England) is not one of them.

Once I had someone bring me quart of maple syrup as a gift.
From a Trader Joe's in California.

Seriously.

Now that's funny :-)

Kind of like eating Maine lobster in Arizona.

Don't get me started. The CostCo on Kauai carries Atlantic salmon.

For true wastefulness though, you have to mail order it from there and have it shipped here. ;-)

That's wacky.

Having grown up in the Northeast, it never occurred to me that you couldn't get maple syrup everywhere. But a few months ago I posted to Chowhound to ask about good local food gift ideas for a trip to Texas and maple syrup was the #1 suggestion.
