Well, i'm right there next to you about the horror that is 
high-fructose corn sweetener... but i like molasses and anchovies... 
well, not necessarily together, other than in Worcestershire Sauce - 
which tastes more strongly of tamarind than either molasses or 
anchovies.

Heck, for a brief while i was drinking my very dark coffee with whole 
milk and a heaping spoonful of dark molasses. I liked it. But i'm not 
really that fond of sweetened coffee in general, so after a while i 
went back to just coffee and cream (or half-and-half or whole milk)

I just don't understand why people think anchovies are so awful.

One of my favorite pizza toppings included anchovies, shrimp, and 
garlic. And i often bring anchovy-stuffed olives to events - along 
with the garlic-&-jalapeno-stuffed olives which I know aren't not 
period, but they're a good pick-me-up on a warm Saturday afternoon or 
during break-down on Sunday afternoon.

It was great living in southern France, because it was so easy to get 
all sorts of delicious foods that included anchovies.

Then, again, when i was in junior high (1960-62) i used to take bags 
of wheat germ in my lunch and people teased me, but i knew they were 
idiots, so while they were annoying, they didn't hurt me. So i've 
always been secure in my taste for odd food.
