Fuck, I want some honeycomb but I have no idea where to get some here.

>>4384883
I'm not a big fan of honey.
Also, fuck bees.

favorite honey recipe:

-stick spoon into honey jar
-retrieve honey
-lick honey

>>4384883
I love chewing the stuff, but I could never actually SWALLOW the wax once I drained the honey.
I dunno why. Felt like a waste.

>>4384905
cool contribution, reported

>>4384893
I seen some in a local grocery store last week, then I looked at the price. It was $8 for a piece about the size you see in OPs pic. Ehh...

>>4384945
I'd do it just to try it. I went into a health foods store to try and find some. All I got was a lady asking if I worked there even though I was wearing a blue DC shirt and all the workers weird green aprons.

>>4384905
why would you even bother to open your goddamn mouth then? why would anyone give a shit that you don't like honey, we don't even know who the fuck you are.

get back to your cornstarch, plebe

>>4384954
They sell them at one of those weekend farm markets that are now super popular in my city. I'll get one of those from a legit source instead of that grocer, and the price is pretty much the same. Still, so fucking expensive. I bought some really awesome honey last year, in a small jar, idk maybe like 200g and it was also close to $10. Ate it all with a spoon actually over the next few weeks. So much better than commercially sold.

I haven't tried the modern version with the lavender icing yet, but I have made the Elizabethan version and they're really good.

Add some water
Boil
Let cool
Add yeast in a valved bottle.
Drink in 3 to 3 million months
Tastes delicious.

Also good is with some cinammon on a tortilla. Its a sopapilla without dealing with a fryer.

>bees detected

Greek yogurt + honey + honey wheat germ or slivered almonds + Goya passion fruit jam. Swirl on top to mix honey with the nuts, enjoy a little in each bite.

FAVORITE HONEY is orange blossom.
Most exotic favorite is lychee or avocado honey, but not in a sweet context, more with a cheese plate.

Shhh.. don't anger the bees

baklava

Hey OP, I'll throw up in a bowl and add some sugar to it. I'm sure you'll love it

>>4385066
Fantastic comeback.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

We are bees. We hate you.

I have a honey fruit cake+honey butter icing recipe that I made once which was great.

I love putting it on toast and crumpets.

Where can I find me some honeycombs in Sydney CBD?

>>4384921
Are you meant to swallow it?

>>4385579

Sure, beeswax is edible. They use a thin layer of it to make coated candies like m&ms shiny. Probably passes right through you undigested, so you don't HAVE to, per se.

>Favourite recipe using honey?

British spelling and visiting Hutterites?

something fishy here

>>4385659

OP is likely Canadian.

>>4385683

Australians spell it like that too.

10cl rum, 30cl water (With or without tea), lemon juice, 2+ teaspoons honey, warm it up. Water can be replaced with milk.

>get set honey
>put toast in toaster on lowest, just enough to warm it up but not properly toast it
>wit at toaster with butter so you can get that shit melted in before the toast cools
>spread thin layer of honey on toast
>add chopped banana
>eat


>brb, making toast

>>4385735
Same recipe, but butter the toast, leave Banana.

I've been using honey to bake bread lately. Delicious.

>>4384954
Grocery stores and health foods stores aren't worth it man. I only paid 7$ for a fresh, fair-sized piece.

i bought a bottle of manuka honey, mixed with honey from local bees, and all infused with indica cannabis.

yes it is medical, yes i have a card, and yes it is fantastic


favorite thing to make that uses honey:
peanut butter and honey sandwich on wheat bread. seriously one of the best sandwiches ever created

Feaces

>>4384893
Farmer's markets are usually a good place, especially if you're in a bigger city. I imagine places like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods would have it as well.

>>4384893
I bought some at walmart in the mexican food area once.

I have a feeling it's not legit though.

amazing on goat cheese or brie & i dont really care for either of those cheeses by themselves
as a kid i never liked honey, it was sweet enough but i just didnt like the taste
now i think its amazing stuff & sneak a spoonful every now & again

When I was a kid, my mother would make these nasty sandwiches on wonder bread with peanut butter and honey.
>grittyasfuckhoneybread.jpg
I still don't like honey.

>>4390084
I fucking LOVE when the honey crystallizes on the bread. That's what makes the sandwich.

>>4390084
I just put peanut butter on both sides and put honey between.

I really wish I could like pure honey. But when I taste it by itself I find it just nasty.
I like honey byproducts and honey flavored things but not honey.
Kinda like how I can't stand tomatoes by themselves, but all their byproducts I like.

>>4385579

I wouldn't, I don't think the wax tastes like anything and while it probably will pass through your intestines just fine, I wouldn't exactly risk eating blocks of undigestable material for the heck of it.

>>4390155
actually beeswax goes through you like, well, greased lightning
it's an excellent way to loosen up them bowels

Tomorrow I'm checking on muh bees. Seeing if they have good amount of brood and honey. Never been stung so IDK if my life will be like the end of the film My Girl or not. But this fall the comb is free, niggers. The comb is free.

Peanut butter & honey sammich

I've often wondered what bees would think if they understood that we eat their buildings, enslave their queen (which often isn't even their 'real' queen to begin with) and eat their vomit by the tons each year?

Do you think the bees would be pissed off... or proud of their work?

>>4390256
Bees don't conceptualize. I imagine their feelings on the matter are a lot like yours when you instinctually twitch a muscle, absolutely nothing.

>>4390236
especially on wheat bread fuck yes

>>4390271

Honey Wheat or go home

>>4390263
this.
Bees are very smart, especially for arthropods, but they don't feel pride or shame, and they don't understand the nature of our relationship--they aren't even domesticated, they just happen to fare well under the conditions of human management. In that regard they are like symbiotes unaware they are benefiting from the big white creatures that smoke their houses and sometimes steal their hoarded food, but they DO benefit, and so they stay with us.

Thanks anons, those sound delicious.

>>4385699
I drink this almost daily. I skip the lemon because I've never liked lemon in my tea, but I love the rum.

Fig+Prosciutto+Blue cheese+ Honey.
Put it in a oven proof glassware container and fan bake on about 180c and cook until warmed through or until prosciutto is a little crunchy. If you don't have figs, pears do well as well

Favourite honey at the moment is Blue Gum, We live a little way out of the city and have a farmers market 1st weekend of every week.

It's pretty glorious.

Oh God raw honey in the honeycomb is so good, I found some at a farmer's market up in Vermont somewhere and have been hoarding it ever since. I just eat that stuff straight, anything else would be wasting it imo.

>>4384883
I just like some unflavoured thick yogurt, frozen berries (blueberry, strawberry, lingonberry, cloudberry etc.) and some runny honey on top for sweetness. That shit's healthy.

>>4384893
lol, to you faggot's who don't have a grandfather in the business of honey.
fresh honey is the best!

>>4393507
Sorry, grandfather is in investment banking, not retarded enough to be a farmer.
