But I add a smidgen of lemon juice to the syrup.<BR/><BR/>I make the dumplings in the same way, heat up the syrup until it's gently boiling, drop in the dumplings, whack on the lid and simmer gently for 20 mins.<BR/><BR/>Gooey, sticky, sweet and yummy. I like a scoop of vanilla icecream with mine too. My favourite part is when you get to rub the butter and flour together because you can make a bit of a mess if you like (and I like).<BR/><BR/>That's how my mum and nan made them, so that's how I make mine. I remember making these with both nan and mum when we were kids. We also made blackberry jam (we just picked them ourselves, plenty of paddocks to choose from - we also gathered our own field mushrooms - which were massive, they didn't go in the jam though) and then when we finished making the jam, we made jam tarts. I haven't got that recipe though, I'll have to ask my nan for it one of these days.<BR/><BR/>I think I'd very much like some Hubba Bubba soda. Very much. Probably too much actually. In fact, I think it's best for all of us (but mostly for me) if we forget I even heard of its existence.

Add they sell little cups of green mango slices with the same condiments.<BR/><BR/>They love avocado too, and I found a street stall yesterday selling skewers of some mystery meat, and they give you a cup of guacamole to dip the meat in before you eat it. I was reliably informed by an American guy that it was delicious, but I gave it a miss.<BR/><BR/>Btw EMS, what on earth are golden syrup dumplings? And if you like sweet things, have you ever tried grape soft drink from the US?

They were the best. Fetta or sun-dried tomatoes. They were juicy juicy. I used to walk down there, buy a little tub of olives and some crusty bread and that would be lunch. Cheap as chips as well.
