Molasses was pretty important commodity; not sure if it qualifies as a flavor.
It was a GIGANTIC ingredient and counts far MORE than stupid MSG, which has NO flavor at all and was introduced in the mid 20th century as a food enhancer and preservative.
And I always have a bottle of pure maple syrup from Vermont! I swearI am not a liberal! Just love that flavor. It is an Americana flavor IMHO.
I have about 50 spices/herbs/flavorings that I use.
King Syrup is better.
;D
