[Seek] Golden syrup

I found it in Globus in Basel. Presumably the Zürich one will have it too.

Cheers,

... keep up, guys ...

You can buy Lyles's golden syrup as well as mapel syrup from the E-Centre in Laufenburg. With the exchange rate as it is at the moment it is well worth popping across the boarder and getting the groceries.

And make sure you add these too...

Om nom nom

Yup, saw golden syrup on sale in Globus' food section, right here in Zürich yesterday. Bought one too.

actually babelfish just literally translate everything word for word. at dict.cc it says it's either simply Sirup or Zuckersirup.

Lyle's Golden Syrup.
Nothing "simply" about that stuff.
Absolutely THE ingredient in good choc chip cookies!!
(Ask my daughter)

Can someone confirm this are still in Globus? Or has anyone seen it anywhere else in the time between this thread was posted and now?

I certainly bought some in Globus just before Christmas.

Awesome thanks Pepper, I have a hankering for some Flapjacks... haven't had them in years!

I was at Globus on Bhf.Strasse in Zurich a few days ago. They have both golden syrup and maple syrup for sale downstairs in the food section. Go to where the checkouts are and there is a row of shelves along the wall near the gift-wrapping section - they sell it there along with other "English" stuff such as bicarb and baking soda.

Globus did have it last time I looked but it was a lotcheaper in Orell Füssli English bookshopwhen I checked the prices.

Recipe of the Day

Take 1 slice of bread - thick sliced
Add more slices of bread to taste
Butter each slice with a thick layer of salted butter
Spreaed a thin (but not too thin) layer of Golden Syrup over the butter layer

Eat.
Wipe treacle from chin, hands, and nose.
Eat some more.
Clean some more.
Repeat as necessary.

I love flapjacks too, and make them quite often with golden syrup from Globus (7.90 CHF - eek!!)
Also make gingerbread with black treacle from same source. Yum yum!!

In Romandie it is called 'mélasse' I suppose from molasses. Forgotten the name in German, much cheaper than buying Tate & Lyle.

Edit: also called Melasse in German - but be careful, there are 2 kinds. The very dark, bitter stuff, and the Golden melasse, just like golden syrup, which looks like honey. Sold in most shops in Switzerland, Coop, Migros, etc.

Have you tried Co-Op at Stadelhofen, they have a small section of british foods?

Oh my goodness thank you for the link to the britshop
I now at last will get rid of my cravings and not have to book a flight back to the UK.

thank you thank you thank you

Heh, i've now made 3 batches in the last week and a half, two from Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup, and 1 from Molasses (Migros) syrup earlier this afternoon... and while T&L was of course my favourite as it just tastes heavenly, the Molasses is a decent substitute, and has a darker and deeper toffee-esque flavour.

I guess buying T&L is worth it if you buy in bulk from Britshop.ch to dilute the 9CHF postage costs, but Molasses at a third of the cost and and three quarters of the taste certainly ain't a bad alternative.
