Our Tesco's here in Caernarfon has it.  However it doesnt stock old fashioned 'pink' windowlean.  There has to be a story there  ;)

 I bought some 2wks ago in Somerfields. Yes CL you are right they are both different  GOLDEN SYRUP  BLACK TREACLE, but you will find them in the same shelf at the supermarket under baking  goods, good luck Jaggy. ;D

What about Molasses?

Post by: Carrie on October 27, 2005, 09:15:25
They definitely have it in Sainsbury's ( I got some yesterday for baking my Christmas Cake) - but not kept with the jams honey syrup etc (where i was instinctively looking) but instead it was kept on the bottom shelf of the stand with all the currants raisins etc - no idea of the logic behind that one but try looking where you don't expect to find it.

Jaggy   Are you sure you've looked properly.  Know what you men are like  ;)

  Ehhhh ladies.....not on me high horse here...but golden syrup and treacle
  are both derived from the same source its just that treacle is drawn off
  at an earlier stage in the process.... the final product being golden syrup.
   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D (knows he is in for it now from the ladies) Carol nane in
  Haddington, North Berwick,Prestonpans,Musselburgh and to boot I pulled
  up managers in each store and wanted to know why....Wardy I looked and
  better looked before approaching the managers  :P plus its because I am
  male and can bake and cook I am looking for it in the first place  ;)

Thanks Carol, its a lovely village right enough.
I try to get back as often as I can. Usually this involves driving the little 'un up at lunchtime on friday, then going back home friday teatime for a weekends digging on the allotment! My folks usually bring him down sunday lunchtime. He loves it there, my folks farm there and he (luckily!) really likes sheep and cows. I'd like to move back but house prices in the area will probably prevent this.  :-\
