Haven't had that in a while, but we eat biscuits and molasses on a regular basis. Black strap molasses no less. When i was a kid my grandfather grew sugar cane and sorghum and every fall would carry a truckload to the syrup mill. He always came back with a couple of paint cans full of molasses. In January you could stand a spoon up in it at breakfast and it would still be upright at dinner.

One of the great New England legends is the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. A gigantic molasses storage tank in the North End of Boston ruptured, unleashing a gooey mass that killed 21 people and cut a broad swath of destruction as it flattened everything in its path.
And yet, it happened in January.
