I'm slowly becoming addicted to honey.

So far, I've dabbled with a few manukas, and this one is very good IMO

Any others I should be spooning?

my mother-in-law actually makes her own, and it's good but not in the manuka league

+1 , we bought some once from a fair that was made a couple of miles away it was excellent.

People bring us honey back from holiday as they know how much we like it.

Heather honey is rather nice and so was a coniferous one we bought in Greece one year. They have a small setup at the back of the car park where my brother in law works that is farmed by the staff, they sell the honey to raise money for charity.

Here in China, they have Honey for every ailment and cooking you require.
Still tastes the same to me, although I get told (all the time, by the MIL, that I can't use this and that for different things)

Different flowers have 'different power' apparently

I think though, what ever you think tastes nice, spreads, uses nice is the best.
Also, local is great, the flowers, apples etc which you are used to, also pollinate the honey.

Heather honey is rather nice
My Uncle has about 16 hives up Deeside in Scotland. It's a bit special 😀

Does that Manuka honey actually have any benefit in terms of greater energy etc or is it all bollox?
