No impostor can even come close. Anything else just isn’t golden syrup.

I’m a big fan of Heinz stuff, IMO if they make something it’s invariably the best of bunch baring some mega money artisan version (mayo not withstanding).

Plus there is an ancient idea that bees were created spontaneously from rotting flesh.

Anyway, Golden Syrup is brilliant and has been part of my calorie controlled diet since childhood.

Pants, boxers, trunks. M&S.
