In tribute to the United States of America and the State
of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and
terrorism.

Sounds quite like something I've never had before, definately going
to have to give them a try. Couple questions though.

bicarbonate of soda, I presume is american termed "Baking Soda"?
and just how do I ground the rice? and what type of rice? caster sugar?
I'll assume golden syrup is the american Karo Corn Syrup. LOL now
to find the certain items and buy me a food scale.
