We have had occasional discussions on here about different sugars, how
they compared and which might be closest to which period sugars. You
might want to check this file in the FOOD-SWEETS section of my files
before going to the store on this exploration trip. Then you'll have
a few more types to look for or have some idea of what they are when
you see them.
