Mmmmm. Yummy. I have a tin of the stuff in my kitchen. It truly is the best Golden Syrup on the market. :yep:

When I feel like a little indulgence then out it comes as the crucial ingrediant when making Golden Syrup Dumplings or Steamed Golden Syrup Pudding. Add to either desert lashings of cream and you're set. :up: :up:

wonderfull stuff!!!:yep: :D

Can someone give me an approximation on the taste, what does come close? I am going to check it out if we have some in Montréal. It's giving me the sweet tooth and I love to try new stuff. :yep:

maple syrup perhaps?

How can this possibly be true when it is common knowledge that every existing jar of Marmite was filled with the remains of Harold the II and personally sealed by William the Conqueror during the Battle of Hastings in 1066! :doh:

I will not touch the stuff on the grounds I hate sweet stuff and makes me sick, but on saying that those of you who like it enjoy.

Difficult to describe, it's basically a sugar syrup - caramel-ish in taste, but not a strong taste. US website: http://www.lylesgoldensyrup.com/Lyle...default_us.htm

I can feel a trip to the British shop coming on! Thanks guys ;)

And me fool always thought of Britain itself as the oldest brand...! :lol:

it's true!!! that's one in the eye for the frogs

We used to get the stuff back in South Africa, was real nice, then when we came to New Zealand, we were quite shocked that there wasn't any to be found here. Fortunately one of the 'South African' shops around where I live import the stuff (yeah yeah, I know the stuff is actually British).

Tate & Lyle's Golden syrup is absolutely AWESOME. Pity I haven't seen it here in Australia for many years.

The difference between this and "other" golden syrup is that Tate & Lyles is made with sugar beet, most others are made with cane sugar and have a tinny / metallic taste, even when in a plastic or glass container.

Forget Marmite, Vegemite's the one to go for. That'll put hairs on yer chest.:arrgh!:

1. Count me out! :nope:
2. Why not just Superglue? Same thing minus the stench. :hmm:
