Yes, its referred to as 'jellycose' (phonetic spelling

)

Careful though, Glucose or Glucose/Saline is also known as Jellycose.
Do you mean the kind of liquid glucose that is used in cooking?
I think powdered glucose is also available at pharmacies.

I think the best bet in Luxor would be a pharmacy or MZ,

I'm interested - the only thing I can think of using it for is barleysugar which I managed to avoid making. I've never felt the need to use liquid glucose or a lot of the sweet stuff in American cookery so pleeeeease tell us what it's for?

Just noticed that you are in the UK - where do you buy it here?

I hope you get everything you need before you come, but maybe we will have an even bigger store in Luxor by then!
