Unleash The Nade Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I love the stuff from the basic clear honey in squeezy tubes to some of the more exotic and flavoured ones and also the thick cloudy varieties. I contemplated buying a jar of Manuka honey the other day, but at £17 a pop, had me wondering if it really is worth it, or is it just all hype? Favourite of the moment is Sainsbury's Mexican Orange Blossom Honey. Any recommendations on different types/ flavours and also interested to hear if anyone's tried the Manuka and what they thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Always thought about the Manuka stuff but I doubt it would be worth it. Might have to shoplift a jar to try it. Cheap honey is really shite tasting though. 'mon the bees. Agree, but Its alright for putting in porridge or tea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The manuka stuff is nice. Thought this is gid i'm gonna buy a jar then saw the £17 and thought i'll take the squeezy bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 My mate used to keep bees and sold his own honey (or rather the bees' honey) for £5 a pop. It was certainly nicer than the squeezy stuff. Then he moved house and the neighbours complained that his bees were shiting over their washing, so the bees had to go. He was also exceedingly cagey about his beekeeping activities. He asked me not to tell my friends he was keeping bees as apparently queen bees fetch a tidy sum on the black market. I think it was my mate that Viz made this fake magazine about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I thought it was thrush treatment or something like that so didn't want to ask. Now I know it's edible I'm looking forward to trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I like the honey when it has the honeycomb in it. Terrific stuff. Old man Enigma put it in a honey and lemon drink when he had the flu and lived to regret it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
