SC - Treacle Pie

That's complicated. C. Anne Wilson, in _Food and Drink in Britain_, 
discusses the relevant history, but is a bit vague about exact dates. 
I think "treacle" was originally a medicinal, possibly based on sugar 
refining residue, and the term got transferred (in England, not 
America) to molasses when they became available as a cheap sweetener, 
somewhere near or just after the end of our period.
