Honey

[magicjuan]

Thought this thread title was 'horny' at first glance. That thread would have had some promise.

Expectations eh?

[Sadken]

you are my candy kurtttttttt

And you got me wanting you.

Like most things, buy local if possible.

Still some fine beekeepers around selling their wares.

Apparently, much of the pure honey on sale these days is nothing of the sort. A lot, it seems, is heavily laced with cheaper vegetable-based syrups. The problem is thought to be so wide spread that no prize will be awarded for the best honey at this year's beekeeping awards. What is the world coming to...

I'm hoping that it's not down to the decline of bees. We would be in trouble if the bees were gone.

Does it make kids shrink?

It’s political correctness gone mad

Or something or other.

Buy local from local producers.
Better for allergies too as it’s produced from the same source.
Farm shops, independent Deli’s (not Dele) etc all usually have a local source of honey.

Honey doesn’t go off and I demand to know why.

The bees have already pre-digested it?

I get pure honey from Rumania big 900g jar about £15 so well priced. I have it daily but the moment anyone in our house gets a bit of a cough or sore throat, two spoons of this stuff and it’s gone. Like a few few posters just said the Uk honey is just so expensive, great but expensive…

 

[notrevE5]

get certified raw honey from your local Apiarist [with the honeycombs even better]
don't worry, bee happy

I've always assumed it was just too sweet for bacteria to live off. Syrup lasts for ages as well, perhaps for a similar reason. No water and other necessities of life?

Couldn't cope without this in our kitchen

Where's the peanut butter thread?

2 things, I didn't realise 'he' was on this (seems it's not Mase on this, though sounds very similar - Mase would later turn his back on 'diddy' and hip hop/rap and become a minister in some variety of church)(Who Knew!) , and I'd forgotten all about the 'Honey Ryder' outfit. You know what, yes!
