Looking for unusual food

[torquill]

I am looking for places to purchase, in a brick and mortar store:

- Golden syrup (aka light treacle), essentially like karo syrup except made from sugar cane;
- Spumoni ice cream for my home freezer.

I haven't seen the former at Cash & Carry, though I'll ask next time I'm there.

The latter may not exist short of driving to a shop that makes spumoni and asking for a take-home, but I thought I'd ask to see whether any of the more niche ice cream manufacturers have hit on the idea of stocking the grocer's freezer with pints of spumoni. Yes, I know I can drive to The Old Spaghetti Factory and buy a scoop at a time, but it's a bit silly to go through all of that if I don't have to.

World Market carries golden syrup, though I seem to recall it being pricey.

Spag sells their spumoni by the pint and quart as well. You can also get it by half tubs. (I think the tubs are 5 gallon.) They cut it in half and put the lid on top of your half.

I have Golden Syrup at home. How much do you need?

Estudillo Produce in San Leandro might have golden syrup, they have a huge English food section. Loard's ice cream might have spumoni, I haven't looked, but they have a huge range.
