I assume you mean Gaelic?
There are fewer and fewer people with Gaelic as their first language,
most of them in the NorthWest or the western islands. It was my
grandfather's first language - he didn't learn English until he went to
school.

I was in Inverness a few months ago, and heard a lot of Polish, but no
Gaelic at all. St Mary's has regular Polish-language services - does the
nearby Free Church still have Gaelic services?

Yes! You are quite right. I was getting mixed up.

Thank you, Susan. I had been looking at some of MrD's recipes which
included it and was unfamiliar to me.

That's about the best explanation I've seen for corn syrup, Susan.
Absolutely it depends on what she plans to use it for. I haven't seen
any indication of why she wants corn syrup.

Ophelia can't find Karo and wondered if agave is okay to substitute.
The viscosity of agave is similar to Karo as is the sweetness. When
my bottle of agave was brand new, it was less sweet than Karo light.
Now that it has aged, it's more like honey. In fact, she could
substitute honey and the recipe will be just fine.

MrD? Does she mean dsi1? I do hope she realizes this isn't
representative of American cooking.

Go to Cape Breton. You won't hear Polish but you'll hear Gaelic.

Incorrect, unless he's talking about making simple syrup with white
sugar. That still wouldn't correlate to corn syrup. Neither would
honey. You don't say what you want to use corn syrup for so it's
anyone's guess.

There are recipes on the 'Net for Karo Syrup substitute.
This is from A Taste of Home
Substitute for Corn Syrup


For each cup of light corn syrup in a recipe, substitute 1 cup of
sugar and 1/4 cup water. For each cup of dark corn syrup, substitute 1
cup of packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup water.

He's talking about an Asian pork recipe. You don't need the exact
chemical composition, all mentioned will work as a substitute for
light corn syrup. In fact, if the recipe is old enough - honey was
probably the original ingredient.
