Good morning[}]
Demerara Sugar? Boiled Sweets? Candy Floss? Toffee Apple? Caramel? Pork Crackling (Scratchings)? Sage and Onion? Treacle? Yorkshire pudding?
Clues so far...
Not native to Britain
Very common here though
Was edible, available in a pub/restaraunt
Simpler than toffee
Relates to a British pastime
Got to go to work...[xx(]

<b>FINALLY, we have a winner!!</b>
<b> Congrats Skippy!!![

Now which one is it???[}

Thanks Lou![][][]
Demerara is basically unrefined dehydrated pure sugar cane juice. It has a very large light amber crystaline structure (1/16" or so)and very unique flavour. Not as sweet as sugar. Very very commonly used in the British Isles. What the heck too you Brits so long???[:0][:0][B)]
(Would of taken "Sugar in the Raw" if anyone actually posted that - although it is different (Turbinado) it would of been close enough.)

Did this casting as one part of a "Sugar Shack" collection. [][]
For turning properties, - you'll have to ask Ed.

OK, process of illimination time[}
]Can't be; Candy floss, toffee apple or Yorkshire Pud
Unlikely to be Sage and onion, treacle, pork crackling or caramel
That leaves the brown ( Demerara )sugar or boiled sweets
I can't see any Pastime reference to the sugar although it is not British,and Ed did say it was crunched up and the sugar didn't need to be. I also think Dawn gave a clue (twice)in one of her replies[
]So, my final guess has to be the boiled sweets!!!!!
If I'm still wrong then I give up completely[xx(]
Hummph!!!!!![!][!][!]

Skippy, my friend, a word of advice:
Dawn's 11:19 entry made it pretty clear that the answer was Demerrara.
You posted at 11:22, a LONG, and VERY INCORRECT analysis.
You then got to SEE Dawn's CORRECT ANSWER!!!!
You now have
<center><b>ONE MINUTE</b></center>
<center>To save your "forum reputation"!!!</center>
<center>HIT DELETE!!!!</center>
Alas, you did NOT, so for all eternity your answer will stand (You COULD try pleading with Jeff to remove it in the name of International relations???????
Might work????

Nah, let it stand. I'll get over it..........eventually.[:I]
If it was deleted, then no one could look back and see how you tricked me either[}]
Seriously though, I must say that I'm suprised that the heat from the PR curing didn't melt the sugar. Did you guys glue the tube then sprinkle the sugar on it? Or mix the sugar in with the PR before pouring?
Clever idea you two[]

It was one of MANY she made that night, Just poured the PR over different "stuff", including that sugar.
Turning the resulting blanks ranges from difficult to damn difficult. The bubbles are EVERYWHERE and, if you hit a piece of sugar just right, the whole piece comes out and leaves a PIT, not a hole. So, unless you have a fresh supply of CA, don't start on the project.
Oh, and be careful - sugar is OK, but SALT reacts with CA and HOT [:0][:0][:0][:0] is given a new meaning!!! My finnies are NOT happy about such experiments.

Glad it was finally answered, my wife was dying to post the answer after an email we got, but I would not let her since I knew exactly what it was after the email.

Forsooth, it's true!!
MANY of the Americans received e-mails from me offering "bribes" so they would not spoil PRPrincess' attempts to allow the Brits to FIND the answer. All of those whom I have promised such bribes SHALL receive them, nearly immediately. I do THANK you bright AMERICANS for your patience in allowing the Brits to catch up.
Skippy, I will be billing YOU for the bribes!!!![}][}][}][}][}]
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PLAYING ALONG WITH OUR USUAL FOOLISHNESS!!!!!!
The "bribes" will look a lot like pen blanks - for anyone who didn't know that!!!

Chris,
We will do this from time to time. Looks like everyone had fun. But, we have to do it when we have enough free time to play along - long periods of inactivity will KILL the thread.
She has made about 25 different types, I have turned about a dozen of them! Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!!!
2 nights to turn. (My average time for a cigar is about 20 MINUTES, not 2 DAYS!!!)

Rats, it's too late ask for a bribe![
] I suppose that my guesses should be better to qualify. But wait! Now that I think about it... I WAS holding back to allow those empire-dwellers a chance to make the right guess. Yeah, that's the ticket! My wife, Morgan Fairchild, asked me to take it easy on the Brits.
Let me know if you still have my mailing address...

Dang!
I was gonna guess cane sugar right off the bat, but came to the thread a little too late...
Dad goes to a lot of 1840's re-enactments, so I knew what cane sugar looks like alright...[]

Wait just a bloody minute!
Airrat actually got it right, and ON THE FIRST PAGE OF REPLIES I might add! He just didn't name it by name!
That the same stuff!!!!! Packets of brown sugar-- that could ONLY be "sugar in the raw" since they don't package the traditional stuff we call "brown sugar" in packets. Only the sugar in the raw...

And, that's why I had to bribe Airrat to keep it "honest". He deserved a prize and he is getting it.
HE has no objection, nor do the other people I asked (with a small gift) to keep quiet.
All perfectly honest, according to Chicago rules - need anything done, "What's it worth to you???"[:0][:0][:0][:0][:0]

1. We're not in Chicago and neither are you.
2. I did not receive a bribe and I'm still waiting for my warranty pen to appear.

Unlike so many on this forum, I am unable to type the lyrics to every song ever written (in fact, ANY song ever written, except the National Anthem).
So, someone else can reply to Mudder, with "It's Magic" with regard to his phantom pen!!!

How very sad that the only "magic" song that comes to my mind is
"do you believe in magic?
and I hope you do!
You'll always have a friend wearing big red shoes[)]!
do you believe in magic?"[B)]
