Just found out that europeans use something called golden syrup instead of maple syrup because they don't have any more...

maple syrup doesnt taste very nice

they're not mutually exclusive

it lasts a long time.

I know I bought it once and made pancakes years ago. they're good but it's too tiresome and complicated making them so never did it again
I don't know where else I can use it

I thought Italians were supposed to be whizzes in the kitchen

not for sweets, at least not me
too much work for just a breakfast

when I wake up I want to eat instantly

Most Americans uses fake syrup made of artificial sweeteners and not real maple syrup

yeah I'm too lazy to make pancakes, only if my brother makes them I'll eat it. You can use it as an ingredient in other foods/sauces. Barbeque sauce

like what?

It is used in bbq sauce. Also you can caramelize bacon with maple syrup, and make a bacon and egg sandwich/bagel. It also tastes good in baked beans. I never made this recipe before, but I bought a can of maple baked beans from the store and it was good. I don't usually eat baked (cooked) beans in a can, but I enjoyed it.

I use bbq sauce on pork ribs. Most recipes say to use honey in bbq sauce, but you can use maple syrup instead.
