Do u eat or drink maple syrup? My reasoning for drinking maple syrup is the the definition of eating/eat is put (food) into the mouth and chew and swallow it. You do not chew syrup. You chew what the syrup is on but u do not chew the syrup. One of the definitions of syrup is a thick sweet liquid containing medicine or used as a drink. Therefore i think its to drink maple syrup. Pls say what u think and your reasoning. Thanks!
