(Well, you'd really have to add a lot of sugar -- say a 1 to 2
proportion-- to tomatoes for me to consider the resulting sauce a 'sweet')
But no, I was more thinking of teh things we consider as sweet-- honey,
sugar, raisin, the ' sweet spices', all mixed with meat. Mincemeat is a
modern example of such, and you notice that most people don't eat much
mincemeat anymore.

" Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees 
That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees, 
So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray
For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!" -- Kipling
