Must put in perspective that probably only beet sugar was affordable, which is basically a syrup that is crystallized into sugar.

And meat and cheese were scarcer overall, which is where you get animal fats.

So yeah, it advises to put the syrup on their pancakes and actually don't try to raise them on rice/bread only because you're trying to be cheap.

Kinda like the orphans in Oliver Twist only get fed with a watery mixture of flour
