I can't promise it has nothing to do with Turkey but I know friends of mine here who use this stuff here and read CBF

Thanks  Honey.

We bought some in Lidl's for £4.99.  I am not that keen on it, prefer the normal honey.

Yes same here, bought some at Costco and as a big honey fan, I thought it was not very nice.

You'd have been better off buying a big fan then !

Have the bees been told they are producing counterfeit honey ?? 

[KKOB]

Yep, and they said "Buzz Off".

[Scunner]

I think they might be honey launderers

Is Manuka Honey a cure for hives ?

[jackstee]

Actually.
I used to have all sorts of tummy problems, probably mostly stress, but I do know some friends with things like "irritable bowel " etc.
With the Honey, as long as it's the real thing, after one spoon per day , for a couple of months, all is better.
The Ausies use bandages and salves made from it and it works very well with bad burns, soars, infections and even the bug that eats flesh. But it has to be the Active type and will probably cost around 10 pound per jar.
