Early Roman accounts of cane sugar refer to "honey that comes from a
reed". I wouldn't be at all surprised if the cane honey referred to here
was a cane sugar syrup, somewhat more refined than molasses. More like
the syrup that is still used (and was used in period) on fried pastries
in North Africa, parts of the Mediterranean coast of Europe, the
Balkans, and Turkey.
