One of the listed ingredients is cream, while further on it is said that it contains no milk ingredients except butter. Only one of these statements can be true, however I don't know which one.

212.189.1.166 11:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Butterscotch sometimes contains cream of tartar not cream. In true doncaster butterscotch this is not used. 212.189.1.166 11:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The second paragraph discusses whisky as an ingredient, but the recipes I've seen so far on the net do not give any support for this claim. Should it be removed? 152.216.7.5 00:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia section

Do any of the entries in the trivia section warrant keeping? RJFJR 19:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd leave the one about the pudding going into space, but mostly because I'm a space nut. Honestly, it could go. None of them are really about butterscotch itself... --StarChaser Tyger 01:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Randomness

Most of this page tells a story about Doncaster and butterscotch companies, rather than about butterscotch - the opening of the St Ledger is several steps away from a form of sweet. Seems that the Doncaster companies should have their own pages.. --85.145.145.242 15:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brown sugar or not?

This article seems to contradict itself. When it lists the ingredients it specifies sugar syrup (which lacking any modifier implies syrup made from white sugar). Later when it compares butterscotch to caramel it indicates that butterscotch uses brown sugar. So which is it?

I'm not expert on this topic but I'd also have thought salt would be one of the key ingredients.--Ericjs (talk) 03:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
