I'd like to make a bird seed wreath as a Christmas present and found a recipe on an American website: http://thismomentisgood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/bird-seed-wreaths.html?m=1
It calls for corn starch and corn syrup - do you know of if these are available in UK supermarkets? What section would they be in?

Corn starch is cornflour.
You can substitute golden syrup for corn syrup.0 -
Yep, cornstarch is cornflour.
I have seen corn syrup in the 'world foods' section, but I'd probably substitute golden too, as it isn't imported so will be cheaper.Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0 -
corn syrup is really just a flavoure sugar syrup http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=corn+syrups&!!!!!googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=25718586536&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16377197888367434682&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_4jrw8d1al4_b
- you could just make your own sugar syrup as I can't see either ingredient would be especially good for birds so I assume it's to help the set and shine
