Interesting how-to-eat honey ideas!

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

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

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

Put some in a smoothie - works really well. Blend natural yoghurt, honey, a medium banana, splash of orange and berry of your choice.

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!

A bit of acidity works very well in a smoothie. Try it you big food snob you

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.
