try making a loaf of bread with like 6-12 tbsp of chestnut honey, specifically chestnut. Eat some fresh but let it cool and toast it after. It goes with everything and it smells amazing. I eat it with ice cream for an unparalleled ice cream sandwich that make those store bought bricks look and taste like dirt in comparison.
It’s crazy because chestnut honey smells and tastes kinda not food like IMO. Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose. Not saying I’ve done that but that’s just the image I have in my head from trying chestnut honey on its own.

I wish, except kinda not really because chestnuts are gross. Back when I worked in a grocery store chestnuts were a decidedly rare item to see people buying too.

I thought chestnuts were like almost extinct?

I freaked out and looked it up and it seems like its only american chestnut that is critically endangered and european chestnut, which is most likely the one the honey I have tried was made from, is least concern.
This is probably why I never heard of chestnut honey before going to europe and why even if you can find some here it’s imported.

Even without comparing them to anything, it’s an accurate description.
