DT GK March 4

17d Is it Syllabub or Sillabub? My dictionaries and online sources show it spelt either way.

I'll accept the opinion of the majority!

Many thanks

I used syllabub as i have always spelt it that way!
I would go for Syllabub, Sillabub is an archaic spelling of the same word.

Thanks Pangolin. I've always spelt it that way too. The trouble is that Mike Mepham likes using the Collins English Dictionary and that has it spelt both ways

Thanks all.

Syllabub will do for me!
I have the CED too and it gives syllabub or sillabub, so I would suggest that the first spelling is the correct one to use. That's the one I've gone for (but we won't know for sure until next Sat!)
