Syrup versus Treacle
A few days ago I had a discussion over a syrup sponge (sponge pudding topped with golden runny syrup) which someone else called a treacle sponge. I said if it was treacle it would have been black because treacle is black stuff and syrup is golden.
"What about treacle tart?" he said. "That's not black!"
He was right. It isn't. But the golden stuff is syrup and treacle is black stuff............isn't it?
