New Healthy Start

[The Cowboy]

yeah i could imagine they aren't healthy

is honey actually good for you? Thought it would be full of sugar, honey and weetabix sounds nice though

You can either live like a monk and hate every waking moment, or accept that some things are a teensy weensy bit unhealthy and get on with it. Honey contains sugar, do does pretty much everything.

not too sure if i can justify 8 quid for honey. I'd love to and i guess i could swing about 4 quid for it if its in home and bargain anytime

It's about 15 quid a jar in normal supermarkets but lidl have a budget option. Some people take 2 spoons a day for benefits to the body or tablets of manuka.

The Jar lasts for ages, I'll only use a single tablespoon at a time.

haha don't blame me, most of my current diet comes from this thread, would prefer something other than fish for lunch.

i might have a look for some cheapish manjuka honey at the weekend, possibly go as far as 4 quid if the other half doesn't notice lol Only thing is i never finish honey. Got a bottle there in the house that half of it has set, been there months on end, so guessing it has gone off well by now. I'm the same with jam and marmalade, i buy them and use them twice

8 might be a little too much out the way, but yeah, i will have a look for some cheaper if they show up in other places.

i am guessing it won't be cheap anywhere, so 4-5 quid possibly i could go for.

If your honey sets, just place the bottle in a mug of boiling water and it'll turn runny again. Or it might just be off.

I'll do that when i get in. well not straight away but a bit after i get in.

Sorry, meant to say do the water thing before you plan to use it. It'll set again shortly afterwards.

Wait. Honey can go off?

I refuse to believe that.

Let's put it this way - you find a bottle of honey at the back of cupboard that's been there at least 5 years. You gonna eat it?

Quite likely. I've always been under the impression that honey can't go off. A quick Google search more or less confirms this! Anyway, I'm not a big honey fan, so probably wouldn't have a bottle anyway.

I would, honey doesn't go off, just hardens doesn't it? Melt it again and bobs your uncle

ahh ok, i'll try in the morning then and stick some in my ready brek lol

(obviously have no plans to be sick)
