It is just good old-fashioned regular syrup, not corn syrup, or molasses. The kind you'd put on pancakes, or waffles.

Dot, Sharon is right, but doesn't go far enough in her explanation. "Golden Syrup" is/was a brand name of a product made by Tate & Lyle, who were sugar refiners. It is a sugar product, and as Sharon correctly points out, it is neither corn syrup, nor molasses [although I suspect it is a product that is further refined from molasses]. It is also NOT the kind of syrup you put on pancakes or waffles; that would be MAPLE syrup. If you are able to get out to a grocery store at this time on Easter Saturday [and the best of British Luck!!], look in the baking goods aisle. It comes in an emerald green and gold can. Makes a bostin' steamed pudding, too! Hope this helps and is in time! cheers, Phil -- Phil & Anne Irons, Sydney, Nova Scotia Remember: Professionals built the Titanic; an Amateur built the Ark!

Well, sure you can put it on pancakes, or waffles. It tastes mighty fine, just as maple syrup does. Here in Canada its called Roger's Golden Syrup, and that's what its best served on. :-) Sharon Phil & Anne Irons <irons@eastlink.ca> wrote: I must have missed the original of this message, either that or it didn't reach the remoter areas of Nova Scotia yet!!
