Used to be quite partial to it on a slice of bread as a kid...haven't seen it for years.

My mum reminded me today that me and my brother would ask for 'engine oil sandwiches'.

Funny how taste changes as you age - can't imagine eating it now!

Conversely as a kid I hated yoghurt, garlic, cheese and pasta amongst other things. Love them all now.

Used to love its smell, haven't seen it for years - but probably its diabetes in a tin isnt it?

I went into a top shelf of the cupboard looking for bread yeast, and as there was a sticky mark at the back I pulled everything out for a looksie.

‘amongst many other things, unseen for many years, I found 2 tins of Black Treacle. Both new and sealed, but one is the leaky culprit so I’ve washed them off to see what happens.

then realised that one of them has an expiry date of 2016!

the other, if anyone wants to make me an offer as a potentially historical museum piece, is dated Sept 91 C5815F4C-6990-4460-8044-332F06A827F0.jpeg

It's the same as Blackbirds...its at its best when it has the treacle equivalent of 100,000 miles plus on it....

Golden syrup is also frowned upon as it's seen as elitist.
