Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain kinds of syrup and how they are made, support cooking and mixing with syrups, describe nutrition and labelling, and describe regional and historical syrups.

A thick sweet liquid made by dissolving sugar in water or by concentrating the juices or saps of plants, including cane and beet syrups, maple syrup, treacle and golden syrup, corn and glucose syrups, fruit syrups and molasses such as pomegranate molasses, and bar syrups such as gomme syrup, as well as fruit butters and apple butter in related usage; syrups are used as sweeteners, condiments, ingredients and vehicles for medicines, and are regulated for composition and labelling.

What it is for: Thick sweet liquids.

It can be explain kinds and production; support cooking and mixing; describe nutrition and labelling; describe regional syrups.
