What section of the store would you expect to find molasses?
How old are you?
I’ll say why after a few posts.
I’d expect to find it with the pancake syrup and such. Failing that, I’d look near the sugar.
I’m 43.
Baking goods?
I usually look in the baking goods, but often find it near the pancake syrup sonow I expect it there, too. 43. I’m now curious about why you’re asking.
By the syrup, and like many other good people, I’m 43.
Well there goes that theory. I was at the store today looking for molasses in the baking section. I thought it’d be next to the sugar. But nope, it was in another aisle with the syrups. The store manager said that they had done focus groups and people over 30 thought it would be in baking and those younger thought it would be with the syrups.
Well I fit in there I guess. I usually head for the baking aisle first before I remember that it’s with the syrups and breakfast stuff. Oh and I’m well over 30.
Baking goods isle. 22.
I am 27, and would expect to find it in with the baking. I was well into my adulthood before I ever encountered the concept of using molasses as pancake topping (as you can imagine, we use maple syrup for that purpose here. Real syrup. The Quebecois have a charming expression for Aunt Jemima-type syrup: sirop de poteau, “fencepost syrup.”)
In the 1875 section.
I didn’t realize people still actually use the stuff.
Baking goods aisle, as its main function is for shoo-fly pies. And I’m 39.
Can’t make gingerbread without molasses, the darker the better.
Or sorghum, but I usually can’t find that in the store at all.
Syrup aisle, 41.
Why the hell would you want to? I haven’t tasted it since I worked at a rum distillery.
Baking goods, but not in Tokyo
47
I’m just now learning to cook, so the only place I would’ve known to look for it in the past is the near the syrup.
I’m 40.
I thought syrup, too, and I’m 30 exactly.
Obviously you don’t cook too much.
I’d look in the baking by the brown sugar first and then by the pancake syrup. I’m in the older group. I thought only the really old people used molasses or sorghum on pancakes.
Brown sugar is often made by adding molasses to granulated beet sugar. The better stuff not made that way is C&H pure cane sugar.
Huh… I’m 37, I’d expect to find it with baking goods. People pour that stuff on pancakes? It smells vile!
Pancake syrups & 46 for 9 more weeks.
