Below is something authentic and historical - but not documented
before 1601 to my knowledge:
From Tess Mallos, "The Complete Middle East Cookbook" (1979)
Chapter on Lebanon/Syria/Jordan
p. 181:
Dibs, carob syrup, is also very much a part of the cuisine. It is
mixed with tahini [thin sesame paste] and spread on khoubiz [flat
bread or pita].
Think of it as Middle Eastern Nutella :-) Not "period", but someone
was wondering what to do with carob...
