    I went to Fallon & Byrnes, I tried Donnybrook Fair, I went to some Asian superstores, I've checked out all the usual grocery stores and cannot find this anywhere. Golden Syrup, fructose or liquid glucose will not substitute, it must be Corn Syrup. (light clear coloured) I hear there's a brand called Karo but I cant find it. Why is it so hard to find in Ireland, is there some reason it isn't readily available?

    I know you've been there but I've seen it in Fallon & Byrne before, definitely. Give Avoca a try too

    Thanks, I was in there today & they did say it should be there, an order was expected but the 2 girls I spoke with didn't know when it might come in. I'll go back & check next week. Looked at Avoca online so far no corn syrup showed up on their product search.

    i'll keep an eye out and if I see it anywhere I'll post here. I'd say it's hard to find because Irish people just don't use it very much, it's more an american ingredient I'd think.
    We'd use Golden syrup, maybe you could use that as a substitute?

    *woops you said it wouldn't!

    Just a note to say I got the corn syrup 3 days after ordering it from www.americanfoods.ie I believe it comes from their company in Blackrock, Co Dublin, Very grateful for the Link. Thanks

    I was just wondering what the differences between Karo light and Golden syrup are. They also sell a less refined called Karo dark. The light is used in candies, fudge and breads. They used to put it in infant formulas. How do you use Golden syrup? I haven't seen it here.

    Q. Do any of Karo's Corn Syrup products used in baking that are sold in retail stores contain high fructose corn syrup?

    A. No. When Karo was first introduced in 1902, it contained 0 grams of high fructose corn syrup. Like the original, all Karo Corn Syrup products used in baking that you can purchase today contain 0 grams of high fructose corn syrup. Karo will never add high fructose corn syrup to current consumer products or introduce new corn syrup products containing high fructose corn syrup.
