No. The ingredients, the process, the flavor and the texture are different. Golden syrup is made from sugar whereas corn syrup is made from corn and they are made using different processes. Corn syrup (whether light or dark) isn’t as thick and basically tastes like thick sugar water, lacking any depth of flavor. In contrast, golden syrup is thicker and has very deep caramelized, buttery, and complex flavor notes. There is no equivalent in the U.S. Golden syrup is pretty good stuff! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no equivalent in the U.S. We have cane syrup made from sugar cane, sounds like it might be similar. It's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it looked like some of the cane syrup they made and sold at the Steam Engine show when I was a kid. A little darker and more flavorful than pancake syrup you bought in the store but not as dark or as strong as molasses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cane syrup and golden syrup are not the same. They are made at different temperatures and golden has citric acid resulting in a different flavor. The US does not have an equivalent to the British staple. @Alpo agreed, I too thought golden was honey based until a Welsh vegan corrected me.

OK, Brisbane to Nicholson would require 94 mph to go that distance in 18 hours, I guess it is possible but need to add some additional speed to make up for the traffic stops (additional time to gracefully accept tickets). At 70mph, it would require a few Red Bulls and No-Doz or whatever energy drinks and pills are legal there to do it in a day (24 hours). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
