Carol, now wondering what a caster is

Granulated>Caster>Icing is the progression for increasingly fine
sugar. Caster (and also granulated) would be used for cooking; caster
might also be used for sprinkling on, say, fruit such as strawberries.
Icing speaks for itself. It is used for extremely smooth results. In
terms of you pouring sugar, our granulated would not pout as easily as
salt.

Carol:
I'm trying to picture granulated sugar that doesn't pour. Does it
stick together like brown sugar? And you still haven't told me what a
caster is (some sort of container? a sifter?), or whether caster sugar
is a powder like icing sugar or superfine grains like light brown
sugar in the U.S.
Carol, noting that we also have light brown and dark brown sugar,
along with "sugar in the raw," which is offered in packets in some
coffeehouses and which is no doubt better for you than the refined stuff
