Summary: Golden Syrup, how do I love thee...
Comment: I found this syrup to be quite tasty, on apples, and other things, or even on a spoon. You can use it to drizzle on things, instead of honey or maple syrup. You can use it in making rice Krispisy. truely, golden syrup is wonderful.

Summary: GREAT FOR BAKING
Comment: I used this years ago when I lived in Europe and tried it again recently when I found it on Amazon. It adds a wonderful molasses taste in recipes calling for corn syrup, like pecan bars and chocolate frosting. It's a hit with my friends. One likes oatmeal now with a spoonful of the syrup.

Summary: Thick and luscious
Comment: Besides being sweet, does sugar -- from sugar cane -- have a flavor? It does! And when the sugar boils down into syrup, the flavor comes out. So, okay -- it IS sugar. Politically incorrect. Empty calories.... I know, I know. But whether you take your sugar "naturally" in fruit or honey or "unnaturally" in hiprocessed candies and sugar-coated cereals, the chemical is the same....And the thing is not to get too much. And if I'm going to have a certain amount ANYway, there are days when this is how I want to eat it. Ly'les Golden Syrup is a nice flavor alternative to honey, or maple syrup. The texture is thick like honey, but the flavor is light. It has much more "depth" and thickness than corn syrup. If you like crisp, Belgian waffles, this is great on them --with or without pats of melted butter. My grandma used to use this more than 50 years ago and I started loving it as a kid. She put it in frostings and who knows what else. But I just like it as it is... dip your fingers in and lick them off. Ummmmmmmm.... So why can't you get this stuff in your local supermarket? I can't find it anywhere.... It's because most people don't know about it. And don't know to ask for it, or how or where to get it. I've never seen an ad for this, and it isn't manufactured by one of the megafoodgiant monopolies in the U.S. , but it is worth having. I just wish I didn't have to order it in sufficient quantities to justify the shipping charge. Kind of silly to pay $7 to have a $4 item shipped. So then you buy several... but who has room to store several? And it takes a long time to go through one can of it. LIke, a year. So, if I get three cans, I have enough for three years. Still, it's worth the shipping to get two cans...I want some right now. Too bad I have to wait.

Summary: Best syrup
Comment: The greatest tasting syrup ever made. Excellent on toast, no other syrup can come close. Forty years ago I thought it was the greatest and it still is! I am having a hard time purchasing it in my province in Canada and it is worth the effort to order it on line. I wish they would expand their distribution.
