Mistaken identity: Molasses exporter

Mistaken identity: Molasses exporter

On the Egyptian Cuisine Recipes web site, I mentioned molasses with tahini, which is one way in Egypt of consuming molasses.

This links comes up at the top of Google search for عسل أسود which is the Arabic name for Molasses (literally "black honey").

For this reason, I got this email, in Arabic
