yum. mashed potatoes is a good surup.
I just discovered colcannon, which I've been making impromptu for years but now I habe a name for it.
Obligatory serious answer to silly question: there is an alternative called gomme syrup, which uses gum arabic as a thickener. Drinks made with it are supposed to have a richer mouthfeel, but it's a pain in the butt to make and goes bad relatively quickly without preservatives, so I've given up on trying to keep it around. I think that qualifies as a complex syrup.
If we're saying complex as in flavor, some maple syrups are multilayered and delicious.
ok its no longer called simple syrup. it will now be known as peasant syrup.
and we are looking down our noses at that disgusting peasant syrup.
