652007 Sun Sep 13 09:03:03 -0700 2009 20 12 Boston Area 0 5026240 I think this basically explains itself. I am looking to make a treacle tart, but of course this can't be sans treacle. I have called up a few places in the Boston area but in truth I have no idea where I would find it to do this effectively. Any suggestions? Also, if it is in fact impossible to find it in Boston, advice would be appreciated about ordering it online. Thanks. Sun Sep 13 09:03:03 -0700 2009 228737 Will S. 1 5026259 Check the UK goods in any Star/Shaw's or Stop & Shop. Russo's in Watertown also always has it, though it can be tricky to find (it's currently on the shelves under fruit displays, at the very front of the store facing the cashiers, near chocolate bars.) Sun Sep 13 09:17:01 -0700 2009 5026240 18512 Allstonian 2 5026715 Specifically, it is on the lowest shelf under the peaches facing the express lane, as of this afternoon. If you have any other reason to go to Russo's, it's worth buying your Lyle's there, as it's consistently cheaper there than I've seen it anywhere else. Sun Sep 13 13:23:49 -0700 2009 5026259 17548 BarmyFotheringayPhipps 1 5026267 I usually buy Lyle's at either Stop & Shop or Shaw's. It used to be in the international aisle with British foods, but have seen it lately in the sugar aisle near honey. The plastic bottles are all I buy now, but if you search some places still carry cans of golden syrup. Sun Sep 13 09:19:21 -0700 2009 5026240 1096668 Desineguy 1 5026384 Last time I got it, I got it at Roche Bros. I think it was near the molasses on the regular grocery shelves. Sun Sep 13 10:14:15 -0700 2009 5026240 250819 skippy66 1 5026410 Yes, Shaw's in Porter Square. Also British Delights on Power Road in Weston. Sun Sep 13 10:27:11 -0700 2009 5026240 90719 chickendhansak 1 5026620 shaw's has an around-the-world aisle (or some such nonsense name) and have seen lyle's there, even at my eastie location. Sun Sep 13 12:28:12 -0700 2009 5026240 30273 hotoynoodle 1 5026655 Definitely check either above the honey in the baking aisle or in the "International" aisles of a larger Stop & Shop or Shaw's. I don't think they have the squeezable bottles, but have them in small green, black and white tins. Sun Sep 13 12:47:04 -0700 2009 5026240 10532 LindaWhit 2 5026757 Those squeezy bottles are sacrelige, if surprisingly convenient. Tins FTW. Sun Sep 13 14:03:41 -0700 2009 5026655 90719 chickendhansak 3 5026836 Well, to my defense, I ordered two squeezy bottles of Golden Syrup from an Aussie online site a LONG time ago, before it was ever carried in stores near me. They weren't carrying the tins, IIRC. Why are they sacrilege? Sun Sep 13 14:53:24 -0700 2009 5026757 10532 LindaWhit 4 5028115 Just because they're traditional and the squeezy bottles are new (or perhaps made for the export-only market, I don't know). But part of the experience has always been watching it drizzle off a knife that you use after prising the stuck lid open, something you don't get with those well designed bottles. Chow tip -- try GS on pancakes (crepe-style) for 1970s perfection. Mon Sep 14 07:07:35 -0700 2009 5026836 90719 chickendhansak 5 5028157 I specifically bought it to make ANZAC biscuits, but have used it in place of honey or molasses in savory cooking as well. Mon Sep 14 07:28:27 -0700 2009 5028115 10532 LindaWhit 3 5027277 Last time I bought a tin I swear I tasted a bit of a metallic flavor. So I switched to the squeeze bottles... Either way, the stuff is addictive and amazing. It is to sweet what Sriracha is to spicy. Try making a pecan pie with it sometime. It leaves corn syrup far, far behind. Sun Sep 13 18:08:39 -0700 2009 5026757 65478 davis_sq_pro 4 5027290 pecan pie was what I first used Lyle's for - and I agree with you!

I guess I will have to check myself since I actually had called the Shaw's and also the Stop and Shop near me and both denied carrying the product. I suppose in their defense not many people call them asking for it. Sun Sep 13 13:52:38 -0700 2009 5026240 228737 Will S. 1 5026776 I'm looking for it too. Last I checked it was in my kitchen baking cabinet. Seriusly though. I got it at S and S South Bay, some time ago. You need to look where there is a large UK population. Sun Sep 13 14:18:07 -0700 2009 5026240 27342 trufflehound 1 5026850 I got it at WF in Bedford, in the baking aisle. Should be available in all of the them. Sun Sep 13 15:00:26 -0700 2009 5026240 1083735 missbidon 2 5027262 Yes, WFM at Fresh Pond in Cambridge almost always has it. I use it more during the holidays and always find it there. And if you call, the uber-nice WFM people will be happy to tell you if it's there now! GG http://www.semisweetonline.com Sun Sep 13 18:03:32 -0700 2009 5026850 11404 gansu girl 1 5027544 Try British Delights in Westford. Many other places carry it. http://www.britishdelights.com Sun Sep 13 20:29:08 -0700 2009 5026240 229023 robertlf 1 5028662 try Marty's in Newton. Mon Sep 14 10:04:53 -0700 2009 5026240 51849 okra 2 5028766 I saw it in Marty's last week. It's on the bottom shelf of the rack with honeys and maple syrups.
