I have learned a lot from chatting with friends from across the sea and boy

yep, and it is also another term for Molassis itself, and was used by farmers to "drug" their cows and horses with medication and home remedies. I learned courtesy of James Herriot. smile.

No doubt where the adjective found in books, at least old novels, "treacly," used to describe someone who is overly sweet, comes from

Treacle is another one that I was a bit confused on. Apparently "treacle" is a candy made with molasses. Which of course would make it really sweet. And again is kind of like fudge.

Shelley, I don't know what Turkish delight is, and I've never seen or eaten anything called a divinity either. What is this stuff? <lol> Kellie
