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.

Good come back for Mr. Disreaeli, never heard that.

Anyway, nice stuff, and honey is good too, but nothing can beat good old maple syrup.
