That's it Charmion, I'd forgotten that word 'molasses'. Tate and Lyle do Black Treacle in a lovely red, old-fashioned tin, and Golden Syrup in a green tin.
Our much-loved Liverpool comedian Ken Dodd lived at Knotty Ash (a real place!) and invented people called the Diddymen, who apparently mined treacle down the treacle mines (and jam butties too) He died very recently.
It sounds as if you have an excellent choice of different foods from many nations over there. Rural places such as where you now live often have lovely fresh, farm-reared/produced food.
Whether they're 'in' or 'out' those sorts of food will always be favourite with me.
