I actually like "gritty" fudge. I grew up making the recipe off the old
Hershey's cocoa box and I guess we were doing it wrong because it always seemed
to come out gritty. (and yummy.)

Overcooking could be causing it.

You don't need corn syrup to make smooth fudge.

I can't even _buy_ corn syrup here and my fudge turns out well about 95%
of the time.

Right, but if you're not good at it, you need corn syrup. <g>

I know that. I was only commenting with regard to your successful fudge
and the fact that you're obviously good at making it. For those who
aren't, corn syrup can help bridge the skill gap. It's true, whether you
can buy it or not.

As to whether or not corn syrup is available, almost any syrup will serve
the same purpose. The question there would be whether or not to possibly
introduce another flavor to the fudge. I don't believe the OP stated
what kind of fudge their friend was making; however, if one presumes
chocolate, then Lyle's Golden Syrup would probably not contribute a very
discernible flavor, and would probably solve the problem.
