Golden Syrup is a commercial product found in Britain and elsewhere; Lyle's is
a common brand, I gather. It's made from cane sugar, I believe, and is either
very lightly caramelized at some point, and then diluted to form a somewhat
runny syrup, or else it contains some molasses-y impurities, but I'm not sure
which (I suspect it's the former scenario). It looks pretty much like light
corn syrup (gak! but tastes much better!).

My recipe for Yellow Man (or I should say the recipe I have but have never
cooked) calls for: 

	1 lb syrup
	1/4 lb butter
	1 lb brown sugar
	1 tsp baking soda
	2 tsp vinegar

You can probably find such a syrup in a store that sells various imported
foods, or one of the baking catalogues, but it's fairly simple to make if you
experiment a bit.
