Treacle tart and custard anyone?
Lyle's Golden Syrup has been a British staple for well over a century. The logo and contents have been unchanged for 140 years whilst the classic tins have also been an ever-present for over a century, only changing into metric some decades ago..
Personally I was horrified when a plastic squeezy version of the product appeared in more recent times but fortunately the metal tin tradition has carried on. Interesting fact : Capt. Scott took a supply of Lyle's Golden Syrup on the ill-fated Antarctica expedition of 1910. Scott's stores were rediscovered in 1956 and guess what, the tins and contents were still in good condition!
I wonder how many of you were brought up on what in my family was always known as 'treacle' and still enjoy the occasional tin?
