Sweetening savories isn't that new - look at all our late period recipes 
with sugar tossed in all over the place! And, more recently, I have a 
sweet hot mustard recipe that Mom got when I was a child, from a friend 
who had it from her mother in law... It was more unusual then, but this 
existed.
