When I saw Golden syrup mentioned here, I had a chuckle. Another Lactnet
linguistic challenge! Being an Aussie trying to cook Anzacs (cookies) in
Tokyo, I discovered how the rest of the world (except the UK) have pretty
much never heard of Golden syrup...it's inverted sugar syrup, very thick...
honey might serve just as well.

Laughing after the iceblock/popsicle thing, and trying to preempt the list
going off into a What's Golden syrup? discussion
