The carob molasses [however people might refer to it in shops here] actually does look pretty interesting.

I haven't ever seen it before, the jar- but it's possible I've had it and not known.
I could likely find it in one of the smaller places near me so now I want to hunt some down.

Does any country outside the Levant eats this tasty s**t?

It's made of these tree s**ts (Carob beans):

Definitlely not in the Netherlands. We do eat houmous though, which is probably something quite different.


The Carob thing is often mixed with tahini (sesame paste), the same base substance of hummous, it tastes sweet and eaten with bread, it was used by the ancients in the region as alternative to sugar.

Its texture is simialr to thick honey but black; I think the Molasses looks very similar to it but not sure if they taste the same; in fact the product above is called "Mélasse de Caroub" (molasses of carob).


In the Netherlands people eat molasses made from sugar beets or sugar cane, and that apple syrup is more or less the same but made from apples. The difference is that the apple syrup is sweet-sour, while the other molasses are just sweet.

Do you actually have any proof of this? Or is it another one of your posts with baseless evidence?

I doubt most of us would know what a "cocky smile" is, as I would imagine there are a lot of people like myself who cannot read expressions at all.
I am not the OP so no, any flirting at any work place is grounds for sexual harassment and if it is any form of flirting from a female worker she is baiting the male coworker to flirt back and that is when she will get him fired for sexual harrassment.


I was asking YOU for proof, which you haven't provided, even for your latest statement. Why are you making it like this happens all the time? I've barely heard of someone "baiting" another into flirting just to get them in trouble. Let me ask you this, would it be the same if a male did this to a female employee? Or is this a double standard to you?

Quit believing everything you read / see on the internet, it helps a ton.

When you get 99% of your knowledge on social interaction from Anime and TV, it's not a surprise when you end up being clueless about how the real world works.

It happens maybe not very often never seen it the other way around at all though.



I think maybe the trouble is that there is a question of how much you have actually "seen" either case, whether you have seen it at all?
That is, are you basing any of this from personal experience in the real world or academic studies or something else with some basis or is this just essentially what you have gathered about the topic from other parties?

My knowledge on the issue- specifically work place harassment- comes from being in uncomfortable situations at work and needing to know what my options are but also from being a manager and having to assess a situation from that point of view. It can happen both ways, and does. No, not as often but it does.

Also- you don't just get booted out of the door because you give someone a compliment.That is not harassment. Harassment is intended to harass and in the workplace is often a constant, not a misunderstanding. So when a situation is looked at that part is addressed and any decent company is going to assess either point of view. [though, not all companies are decent]


As far as harassment, down the whole spectrum of it, people "baiting" others into trouble is actually not nearly as common as is often said. For some reason this ridiculous idea is perpetuated. There are numerous studies which come at it from every angle, and they all come to the same conclusion: The actual incidents vastly outweigh the disingenuine claims.


So, I mean. I kind of have an issue with you stating some things that seem to come from an ignorant point of view myself. It can actually be quite harmful.

In anime if the guy harasses the girl, she smacks him with a super-powered fist often throwing him up in the air.

Like Naruto's teacher who was almost killed by that lady-leader because he peeked at her in bath.

I've gotten unwelcome looks and catcalls before, and trust me, I was not wearing a big cocky grin on my face.

The only reason why this matters to me is that there is no specific enough definition of what constitutes as sexual harassment. You can just ask a girl out on a date, and if she says no, you could be punished for it.


This simply isn't true. Who ever has led you to believe this has lied to you.

We should really derail this thread to a more civilised topic, like food. With pics.

Probably not the thing to say. But sure.

I find this whole thread insulting. Last time a stranger groped my private areas against my will I cried. I've seen no woman in a similar situation having smiled either.

I recently got asked via text message from a man. He told me "I want to see your :insertvulgarwordthatirefusetotypehere:" and then got asked if he could see my chest (he used a very vulgar term there, too).

He also demanded that I would be his girlfriend and I sure as hell didn't have a smile on my face after all of that.
