Message: [QUOTE="J13, post: 39764, member: 3371"] I think that's a grandparent thing ;) My grandparents did the same, and my parents followed suit. It feels like one of those old traditions passed down from the Victorians like cut-glass candy dishes.:D From October till New Years, there were always nuts in the shell to crack. Usually those mixed nuts but sometimes just walnuts. Whole Foods stopped carrying it? :mad: I didn't know that because my tin of Lyle's doesn't get used up very fast. It sits in the pantry for a year or more before I need to restock. I just don't bake that many things that require "corn syrup." When I do, however, I always substitute Lyles. Well that's...disappointing. I'm fortunate in that I actually have a British import store near me—along with its so-so restaurant—selling all these British items from teapots (of course) to marmalade, baked beans, mince pies at Christmas, etc, etc. I haven't dropped in on them for a while, but I'd be shocked if they didn't have Lyles on their shelves. Looking around, it seems that Walmart, strangely, may also be selling it. [/QUOTE]
