An Italian acquaintance once pleaded, “Please—tell your American friends not to bring us any more maple syrup. Basta!” At first, I didn’t quite understand. I mean, who doesn’t love maple syrup?

Since I’m not Italian, any gifts of maple syrup are encouraged. And I promise not to save it just for breakfast.
