treacle tart

Treacle is thick and sticky so 'running like treacle' means slowly and 'sticking' or often stopping. It's not a common expression. Just to add after reading heypresto's, that I haven't heard it. English treacle tart is a shortcrust pastry base in a shallow dish, filled with golden syrup, grated apple, breadcrumbs, ginger and lemon juice (Robert Carrier, Great Dishes of the World). Treacle is black when it's not golden syrup. I suppose this soldier wasn't black? Otherwise, it's not a name which strikes me as inherently offensive. Hola a todos: Tengo el siguiente contexto para traducir: "Treacher-Collins syndrome is caused by a defective protein called treacle". El problema lo encuentro con el equivalente en espaol.
