jmothecat Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Waitrose Heather Honey is my personal favourite. I think Manuka is overrated. It's good, but not really worth the price. It's apparently got all sorts of wishy washy health benefits if you are into that sort of thing, but when it comes to great tasting honey I think there are better priced alternatives.

DA Baracus Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Tesco Value honey is what I use. 99p. I just chuck it in my porridge (along with some cinnamon). I imagine most honey will be the same, but I like that it doesn't have anything added to it (that they tell us about anyway) and is just pure honey. For 99p, it does the job and is decent enough.

P45 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It's good on Muesli. I'd like to try raw honeycomb one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 My grandpa used to keep bees, and the honey he always had as a result was absolutely tremendous. Had jars and jars of the stuff as well. I've started using sainsbury's set honey in my tea instead of sugar in the last year or so. It tastes so much better. Would recommend to a friend.

killienick Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Can I just say that Manuka honey comes from trees and not bees. It's ok but not worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 17 nicker a pop I'd want stung by a bee not a tree, this is getting worse than the Dubs scam. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd said 'pennies' instead of 'money' you could've had a sick rhyme, brah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It doesn't cure irritating c***s. Maybe I was on to something after all: New Zealand-based Steens employs more than half a billion bees and says its most potent honey can be used to help heal burns and sores, as well as to aid digestion and rehydrate skin when used as a face mask. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/features/the-manuka-honey-scandal-9577344.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fide Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Bees must visit approximately 2 million flowers and fly over 55,000 miles to make 1 pound of honey. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killienick Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Can say it but ud be wrong. The stuff comes from a flower which stems off a bush. Which is called the Manuka tree. Try to keep up. http://activeadventures.com/new-zealand/about/nature/flora/manuka-tree Edit: Link added for emphasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
