Silver Spoon Sugar

All the docs who use this M/B + many others will tell you how bad sugar is for you !! Now is your chance to cut your intake down,or better still cut it out.

What i think is worse,nearly all the shops around us are selling this Elmlea crapp and a lot are passing it off as being REAL cream,which it aint. If you read the ingrediants its full of E numbers.

Good luck with your Sugar hunt.

Everything in moderation Alan.  

I gave up table sugar 30 or so years ago when I was around 20 years old. Too much sugar really makes you feel like crap and leads to more eating. Google Sugar Blues written by Wm Dufty in 1975 .... still holds true today.

I'm still upset that Pan Yan pickle was withdrawn.

Are you sure Bruce? I'm certain there's still a half-eaten jar in our cupboard somewhere...

Bruce, apparently, Rowntree Mackintosh, who used to own the brand, stopped making it ages ago, in the 1990s. It was then sold to Premier Foods but because they lost the only copy of the recipe in a factory fire 10 years ago, they stopped making it as well.

But someone found a copy of the recipe (or at least an old jar) in a shed in Essex and various people have been reproducing it in the past couple of years. Cranfields' Foods, an artisan producer based in Devon, makes a pretty decent facsimile. Quite nice and tart, which is how I remember enjoying the original.

Well how fab!

I just recall it being sharper and more mustardy than the ubiquitous Branston

The best sugar was always from the West Indies.

Billingtons, and more famously Tate and Lyle.

I try to make sure I get Billingtons, who make a great range from London Fourths [quite like Demerara] to Golden Granulated. More tasty and less pure [or refined if you like] than white granulated. Less sweat as well ...

Billingtons' Muscovado is to die for in baking and coffee!

Silver Spoon was the sugar issued by the British Sugar Corporation and produced from UK  farmed sugar beet rather than sugar cane ...

ATB from George

The Co-operative has a great range of Billingtons and Tate and Lyle sugars, as well as Silver Spoon, though perhaps the BSC really has stopped its domestic household line. The BSC remains a prime supplier for the food industry, however.

There's nothing wrong with good old Silver Spoon sugar. It's sucrose, exactly the same as sugar from sugar cane. The sugar beet's grown here in Suffolk and processed just down the road from me in Bury St. Edmunds. It's British and just as good as the sugar cane product.

No problem buying it hereabouts, I bought a bag this morning.

Other half bought 2 packets of Billingtons Muscovado(1 x light 1 x dark) about 3 months ago for she says making cakes. They have sat on top of the microwave for the last 3 months. very soon now i will chucking them in the bin.

Anyone remember Brother Bung....pickled onions with real bite,also Myers rum !!
