I need some! \0/
I've tried EVERYTHING for my hayfever, apart from having a bit of daily local honey..
Everyday on the way to work I pass a house that sells some, so I've bought a jar off of them and now thinking of what to do with it!
I've tried it on weetabix, toast, and LOVE it in a natural yoghurt alongside sliced fresh strawberries, raspberries etc...
Any other ideas? :)

I've heard its more effective if applied directly up the nose :)

On a crumpet, in porridge, in a smoothie, or just go full Pooh-bear and stick your little paw in it.
It's probably not the quantity you require but hunny mixed in with crushed garlic and soya sauce then rubbed into chicken thighs and grilled/baked = nommerlicious!!
If it was winter I would have suggested Hot Lemon and Honey drinks... but it's not. But I've suggested it anyway :p
Erm erm erm.. I think Belmits Crumpet idea's the best. It goes all soft and gooey and if you squuuueeeeeeeeeeze the crumpet it dribbles out the bottom of it :D
Tis yum.
I made some flapjacks with honey once. Was meant to use syrup but I didn't have any so used honey instead. Didn't come out too bad and the recipe is floating around here somewhere.
I'm with Pheebs: put it on chicken (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17654206)
Put some in a smoothie - works really well. Blend natural yoghurt, honey, a medium banana, splash of orange and berry of your choice.
Let us here how it goes. I tried it and it didn't do anything.
Cream and honey mixed on pancakes or puddings.
As others have said as a base for marinades/salad dressings.
Honey tart *drools*
As a sweetener in main dishes instead of a bit of sugar.
Or in large qaunties in honey based curries.
If it's for hayfever it will be too late won't it? Aren't you supposed to take local honey in the run up to the pollen season so your body gets used to the local pollen and develops more of a tolerance to it.
Mine's causing me a bit of grief. I've found cetirizine hydrochloride to work well. Just don't be tempted to pop extra ones, it's more potent that it looks, and caused fatigue and a really really dry mouth with me. Yuck.
Hayfever is odd. I used to get it really bad but now I don't even get a sniff :dunno:
Mine has barely registered this year. Seems I have it either really bad or not at all.

Still can't believe you put orange with dairy! :/ Though you have great taste in food so it's probably delish, but it just seems odd!
However I agree with peg-leg smoothies are a great way of eating honey.,
Active Manukna honey is very good but expensive but tastes absolutely delish!
I never knew honey was helpful towards minimising symptoms for hayfever! Learn something new every day! :)
I have a spoonful of that if I get a bad throat. So rich!
It's a great antiseptic. Especially the 10+ stuff.

Does the same with me.. makes me VERY tired, causes nose bleeds, and also makes me wake up with the roof of my mouth covered in hardened flem... yummy.
Anyway, better then sneezing and blowing my nose every five minutes.. have you any idea how much I spend on tissues?! ;D

For those with hayfever these are the things I do/take to help prevent it...
Medication:
Telfast Fexofenadine (Hydrochloride) 120mg tablets - two a day (only prescribed one)
Pollenase Sodium Cromoglicate 2% w/v eye drops - four per eye per day
Flixonase Aqueous Nasal Spray (Fluticasone Propionate) - two sprays per nostril per day
Other Stuff:
Lloyds Pharmacy Ionising Air Purifier - constantly on on my windowsill*
Lloyds Pharmacy Allergy Reliever* - once a day
Locally produced honey - in whatever I can
What seems to work the best for me is, rather strangely, the ioniser, allergy reliever and the honey.. odd!
Click here (http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=90&mpe_id=11102&productId=300005&intv_id=11052&evtype=CpgnClick&langId=-1&catalogId=1008&ddkey=http:ClickInfo) for the reliever and air purifier package for just £22 from £60... I HIGHLY recommend it.

slice of bread
place honey on top (lots)
NOM!
simples!
After reading this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8077303.stm) and generally thinking about it, I've decided I want bees. I found a club which gives downloadable info on how to go about it, what hutches they need and that kinda thing and I think they are cute and fluffy and I want pet bees (Jhadur isn't too sure on the idea - he called me mad; minor point!) ;D

A bit of acidity works very well in a smoothie. Try it you big food snob you :)
That's why I use an apple as my base as it's the acidity which helps. :)

Dipping strawberries in a pot of honey is NOM

Yeah! I want bees! They ARE cute and fluffly.

Bees :D http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8184655.stm
yay! I wonder if they would make honey for me?
More bees stuff: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8542698.stm (I still want bees :p ) :D
I would like bees! I don't really even think for the honey collecting as gassing them is a bit cruel. I'm not allowed to keep them though, it mentions them specifically in the deeds that bees aren't allowed to be kept on the grounds :(
