I have not tried molasses on toast (although, being from New England, I'm surprised I haven't). But, I remember being served baked beans on toast for lunch when I visited a friend's house the year we lived in Cambridge, UK (1975/76).

As an aside, it took me some months that year to realize that "tea" (as in "come over for tea") really translated to "dinner". In our house, tea is a small meal served around 4:00pm and can include any number of treats from small sandwiches, to cheese and crackers, to sweets. It's one of roughly five meals my folks serve — breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, dinner (at least when the whole brood is home).

But, at least among my working class mates in Cambridge, "tea" was the evening meal, which, oddly, rarely seemed to include tea.
