21. Maybe we should do a honey exchange!

I grew up not liking honey because all we could get in Central Florida was orange blossom honey - sickly sweet with a nasty orange after taste.

When we went to the 1982 Knoxville World's Fair I bought some basswood honey at a roadside stand in the mountains and it was so much better, not so sweet and with a woody flavor to it. Since then I've tried various locally grown honeys from farmer's markets and roadside stands. Tupelo is my hands down favorite even though it is ridiculously expensive ever since they made that movie about it.

Seriously, if you're interested in a honey exchange, PM me.

Maple syrup has a stronger flavor, so you just don't need that much of it Major Nikon Jan 2015 #12

The flavor is interesting, but I get too much sweetness from it csziggy Jan 2015 #16
