Treacle is what we would call Molasses.  Chipolatas are a kind of
sausage.

I really dig the subtle food magic in Harry Potter.  Ever notice that
Ron gets a "North Country" dialect when he's eating Yorkshire Pudding?
What happens when you take a bite of a Spotted Dog Pudding?  Woof!

I also have a keen appreciation how Chocolate, the veritable Food of the
Gods [theobroma] is the medically-approved panacea in the Harry Potter
canon.  JKR is not the only author who thinks so, either.  [Study
question:  compare and contrast food magic in "Like Water for Chocolate"
and "Chocolat".]
