complex (carbohydrate) syrup: mashed potatoes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

yum. mashed potatoes is a good surup.

I just discovered colcannon, which I've been making impromptu for years but now I habe a name for it.

Obligatory serious answer to silly question: there is an alternative called gomme syrup, which uses gum arabic as a thickener. Drinks made with it are supposed to have a richer mouthfeel, but it's a pain in the butt to make and goes bad relatively quickly without preservatives, so I've given up on trying to keep it around. I think that qualifies as a complex syrup.

Tastes awful but it’s got codeine in it shrug-outta-hecks

isn't that just a flavored syrup

I think so.

Anything more than sugar and water will make it complex?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

yes I ordered it using my stupidphone, and to be honest I thought it was pretty whelming

If we're saying complex as in flavor, some maple syrups are multilayered and delicious.
