It's the basis of several much-loved english puddings, cakes and biscuits and has a distinct flavour, as you say. Tate and Lyle's is as iconic to us as Betty Crocker is to you, I guess. I have it on my porridge (oatmeal).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for shreading the love!<BR/><BR/>EmmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405885220386372262.post-1044300644328102442008-10-22T08:27:00.000-07:002008-10-22T08:27:00.000-07:00Hello Twins x two Mum,Golden syrup is like loosely...Hello Twins x two Mum,<BR/><BR/>Golden syrup is like loosely corn syrup, except Golden Syrup has a distinct taste of its own - sort of butterscotch like.

I love them too, and I thought it might be helpful to you to know how big they tend to be - I just measured mine and it is about 5 inches long, 1 and a half inches wide, and 1 inch deep. The pumpkin seeds have a sort of vanilla dusting too, which makes them extra delicious, imho.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405885220386372262.post-24197918704851123852008-10-12T20:16:00.000-07:002008-10-12T20:16:00.000-07:00I live in NY.
