im blinking starving

Normal syrup is Golden Syrup.

 

//slaps Garrett on the back

And they love you too Garrett...they love you too..

C'mon Edith - we've got a meeting to go to...

 

Go on, Edith, do what I taught you...

//Edith bites TTG

 

LOL @ Edith

If "normal" syrup = "maple" syrup, then why add the epithet "maple"? Funnily enough, the more I think about syrup, the less sure I am what it actually is. I had this idea when I was a youngster that it was melted sugar, but I fear that was just naiveté.

 

no no it is melted suger

 

I thought it was a wig.

 

no thats the "of figs" bit

 

Does anyone here like Semolina? It's got a rep for being rank but I like it.

 

Afternoon all

Yeah I like Semolina but I haven't had it for YEARS now...

 

Well, niether had I so, I bought some and it was still nice. Bit a Jam, Yum.

 

Mmmm Jaaaam, has to be Strawberry though for me I used to stir it all in when I was a kid and make it pink lol

 

If its melted sugar, why doesn't it set again in the can once it gets back down to room temperature, so when you open your can of syrup with a spoon all you see is one big circular square of sugar that won't come out even to go on a pancake?

 

It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice... and might I add that my gran makes the best golden syrup pudding in the world!

 

It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice

I sincerely hope that's not meant to be some kind of answer to my question. Your truncated sugar teachings tell me nothing.

 

It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice...

That's just confused me more. If it's made from evaporated juice, surely that means it is made from nothing. And we all know from our Physics classes, that something cannot be made from nothing.

 

My syrup aint in a tin. Its in a squeezy plastic bottle

 

"And we all know from our Physics classes, that something cannot be made from nothing"

except at the event horizon of a black hole, where quantum tunneling effects are thought to seperate pairs of spontaneously created matter-antimatter particles, preventing them from immediately annihalating each other and thus creating extra matter particles.....

is this the clue we need to unravel the mystery of the syrup?

 

are you saying that is how golden syrup is made then dankdonk?

 

I don't know Ooh-Ahh
Quantum uncertainty dictates that, until you actually open the syrup tin, the matter inside can be in a state of flux, and be both syrup and not-syrup at once.

Really, this is the kind of nonsense that Star Trek fans are much better at......

I have just asked a foodie friend how syrup is made - he says it is just the product of the first stage of sugar refinement.
Cane is pulped to extract the juice, the juice boiled till it thickens to produce syrup.
Further boiling produces sugar crystals.

very, very boring explanation.

no space-time wormholes at all involved.

 

LOL. but that still leaves the question of how the syrup is made.

see ya folks.

 

See ya Chet, making a run for it as soon as the syrup answer is about to be revealed ... kingpin in the Tate & Lyle conspiracy, are we? Anyway, I'm throwing the sugar refinement theory out on the grounds that it is, as you so rightly, Donk, far too boring.

except at the event horizon of a black hole, where quantum tunneling effects are thought to seperate pairs of spontaneously created matter-antimatter particles, preventing them from immediately annihalating each other and thus creating extra matter particles.....


Instead I envisage a situation where Mr Lyle stands at right next to the event horizon of a black hole (possibly at the top of some sort of space-ladder, the bottom of which is being steadied by Mr Tate) catching those particles that escape the gravitational pull in his metal tin.

The other particle from each pair, that which passes over the event horizon, will fall, we can assume, into the hands of the one-dimensional beings who live in the singularity, where it will be used to make chutney.

 

One dimensional anti-matter chutney !

Yum.

Now where did I put that Higgs particle stilton and biscuits I picked up in Tesco's Stephen Hawking Memorial Deli .....?

 

i need a weapon.

a cone


and stuff

the footie


and beer


and i wanna go home...

 

beer beer
we want more beer
all the lads are cheerin'
get the flippin' beer in.
