I guess it depends where you live. I buy it in fairly large
quantities at Costco.

Your sig indicates you are in the UK (could be wrong) so I found
this link:

And here are more tips on where to buy it:

It's a bit more liquid than honey. Sugar-wise it may be a bit less
sweet. I use it with any mixture that requires other liquids,
principally crèpe batter. I used it for a while in coffee and it
was actually less cloying than honey. It has no flowery accent.

> Thanks very much, Michel)

No problema. Try it. I think you will like it.

That sounds very interesting. Can I use it in cooking in the same way as
honey?

Yes, but refer to that link I sent you where they talk about
equivalences. I have not used it in baking myself but I see no
reason why not. It will behave very much like honey.

Thank you. I am resisting it because it seems to have bad rep. What do
you think about it?

What have you heard about it that is so bad? It is not high
fructose(?) corn syrup. It has been around since I was a child and
that has been a long time. Obviously it is very sweet but you aren't
planning to eat it by the cupful are you? It is a pretty necessary
ingredient in things like pecan pie.

If we had an idea what you need it for we might be of more help. Some
of the other sweeteners have fairly strong flavors that you may or may
not want in what you are making.

If I was making bread I would use honey, corn syrup or molasses
interchangeably. I don't know what you are making and honey may make
a difference. Remember that honey draws moisture and helps keep your
bread from drying out.

MrD shared a recipe which included Corn Syrup, which I haven't seen here (or
noticed). I now have knowledge of other, similar things as well I
doubt very much I will change the way I use my honey now, but it is very
interesting to see the alternatives. I will buy the agave nectar
though to taste it It sounds good Do you use it and if so, what do you
use it for?

MrD? Does she mean dsi1? I do hope she realizes this isn't
representative of American cooking.
