I can see you're in need of some food education, Geoff so when you're downunder (in the not too distant future) here's your custom menu:
Kangaroo steaks (smothered in maple syrup)
Crocodile pan fried (smothered in maple syrup)
Emu burgers (smothered in maple syrup)
Possum curry (smothered in maple syrup)
Witchety grubs (yum!) (smothered in maple syrup)
together with some good bush tucker such as quandong jam and to top it off there's toast and vegemite for breakfast.
The theory is once the maple syrup goes on you won't taste anything underneath it anyway.
