demerara: a brown sugar, but each grain is kind of separate. If you have a
Carribean store in your neighbourhood, their brown sugar is what you want.
But you can substitute light brown sugar for it. Muscvada: Very dark brown
sugar (almost black), sticks together in one solid lump and has to be
prised apart. The rawest (and tastiest) of all the sugars. Really good for
dark cakes and especially Christmas puddings. Brown crystal. Very large
variagated brown crystals of sugar, hard and crunchy usually used in
coffee. jaggary; barely refined cane sugar. Substitute a "raw" sugar or
Mexican piloncillo sugar. Scampi OR Dublin Bay Prawns; Butterfly shrimps or
Pacific prawns
