Because I'm desperately curious, and desperately American, what is a treacle? I know they mentioned treacle tarts in Harry Potter, but I've never seen it anywhere. Please give to me your glorious European knowledge! *shakes you*

Also, still adorable!

I always thought it was the same stuff that Americans call 'molasses', but wikipedia tells me it isn't... I guess it's just treacle. And there's different kinds - treacle tarts are made with golden syrup, but black treacle is a different kind of thing entirely, it's got a unique taste that is hard to describe...

Huh, interesting... I wonder if treacle can be ordered offline. I'd really like to try it.

Amazon carries it. (That's on-line, not offline, though.)

I will! Thanks!

hehe, I didn't even know treacle came in black. We use golden syrup here more than molasses though.

I've never found an equivalent. Molasses is too "molassesy" and dark corn syrup really doesn't work exactly, either. I have a few recipes from the UK, and just use whatever I have on hand (either dark syrup or molasses). My oven hasn't exploded with the substitution, so it must be OK.

lotsa foxies x3 *counts them* 1...2...3... 3 fopsies.... *giggles*

*giggle* It's a very fopsie Christmas! ^.^

O: um um... can we hang them on the christmas tree? or what if like... we just decorate a fops? we can cover him in lights and things... *giggles*

I can be an ornament! *giggle*

We mostly like to drink hot chocolate and be snugged.

I was thinking the same thing!

Heh impending clean-up required in T-minus 10...

Wots and wots of foxies :) but dey are supah cul and tadays my birfday :D

I see lots of foxes getting into mischief! *giggles*

Yay treacle! I've heard it mentioned in Brittish media, but have no idea what it tastes like. Hehe

I look forward to this every year. *Nods*

Always starts out day 1 pretty empty looking, but by the time all is said and done, room is packed to capacity with kawaii cubbies.

I always thought treacle and molasses were synonyms too *researches* Hmmm apparently the North American equivalent is Blackstrap Molasses...

Ooh,treacles.i bet they're yummy =)

Thank you for including me, Zee-zee!

I am making a bit of a mess, though.

It's not a real home-made cake if we don't make a big mess in the kitchen! ^.^

Hee! True!

Yay another cute Foxy!! ^^ Somehow I doubt he's the last. It's like da foxies are taking over Christmas. XD Hmmm. I wonder if Santa's Elves are kinda Fox like. Hmmmm.

Christmas was made for foxes! It's a true story.

If you don't have treacle on hand, substitute one episode of Full House.

They never showed that one over here, but I'll take your word for it. ^.^

Hmm sounds like treacle and molasses are both sort of families of things that you get when you make sugar, and they overlap some, so there are some kinds of treacle that are the same as some kinds of molasses, but then there are some kinds of treacle that aren't molasses at all and some kinds of molasses that aren't treacle ... I'm getting all confused now. Treacle-ology is hard!

I wonder if the T in TJFoxxxx stands for Treacle? *scritches head*

It's all very confusing, isn't it? Next time I'm in America, I'll sample every kind of molasses I can find, so I know exactly what's what!

*hugs* And thanks for all the nice comments, Jennie! You're a wonderful bunny! ^.^

I know molasses is great in cookies, but I don't know what kind ...

*hugs back!* I was getting caught up! I've been so busy I barely had time to draw and put in a happy word on a journal here and there. But I have a few days off work, then back to work next week, then two whole weeks off!

*blush* Well ... you're a wonderful squirrel! So there! :)
