Before last year, I never liked honey. Actually, the list of foods I didn't eat before was ridiculously long: vegetables, fruits, certain meats, fish... I don't know why honey made it onto the blacklist. One of my favorite cartoon characters was obsessed with honey, which generally meant that I would happily eat said food. Cookie monster ate cookies (like a champ lol) and so did I. Popeye ate his spinach for the awesome muscles and so did I. Winnie the Pooh Bear could not get enough HONEY into his belly and yet I couldn't be bothered. I have no idea what was going on in my baby brain but I would not eat honey.
Nowadays I've come to my senses. Honey is delicious! Honey is adaptable! I'll have honey in my tea. I make honey chicken fingers. I even put honey into my savory french toast mixture. Honey can be used in place of syrup for pancakes or it can be a replacement for refined sugar.
And it comes in such great varieties ranging from the very sweet to the less sweet. There are smooth honeys and harsher tasting honeys. Honey that tastes like flowers is delightful for some while chestnut honey is more the speed of others.
I love tasting and experimenting with the flavors!
