Gross. But also not much grosser than eating off delicious animal corpses.
*So far*

Would you like dirty bean water or dirty leaf water with your charred carrion, sir?

Actually, can I see the aged, rotten fruit liquid list please?
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cat poop coffee is still the grossest food. Well, maybe this one cheese with live maggots jumping into your face while eating it has it beat.

Those honey stick ball spoon things are so fucking dumb. Just use a regular spoon, fork, or butter knife.

But how will I feel like the honey nut cheerios bee?

Convince kids to eat your family’s vomit that is coating processed grains you shill so some guy makes in one year more money than a family could make in 10 generations?

Never used one myself, but apparently lightly spinning them helps the honey not drip because it’s so viscous. Stop spinning it and it can be drizzled.
Had to search online because I never understood why one would not just use a spoon either, but if it means there’s not as many little honey trails on the edge of the container, I can see the point. Learned something new today!

You can do that rolling trick for the dribble with standard flatware, you do have to spin faster though to get it to work well.
The same idea applies to things you’re pouring out of; twist axially while tipping the container upright and you’ll have dramatically less spillage, even with viscous fluids like honey.

you leave my honey wand alone

I think if you’ve got a pot of clear honey, something about the metal changes the honey. We got a pot from a local one time and it was awesome to start with but kept getting cloudier over time (could also be something far simpler, like oxygen!)

The honey starts to crystalize. If you put it in some warm water it will return to normal:

Why are they dumb?
psud@aussie.zone 1 year ago
They have exactly one use, and that use is already well performed with spoons
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
…Why did they pour it into a contact lens though?

Better adhesion

Second strong contender is a particular termite’s poop which lives in the jungle and is also mostly sugar.

Honey is great, but probably my favorite most interesting bug byproduct is shellac.

How many others have we tried? 🤨

Two words: Ant milk. Imagine the marketing campaign.

What about spider milk? Apparently it’s actually a thing.

Thank you so much for volunteering, for the sake of science! :-P

Probably all?
De_Narm@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No way, we haven’t even found all of them yet! Based on estimations, about 50~95% of all species have not been identified yet. (I looked that up.) You can go out there right now and find the new tasties vomit yourself!
jBlight@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes, so far… Hehehe

Honey is not vomit as it does not reach the stomach. They store it in a special chamber in their esophagus.
Honey is the result of bees deepthroating nectar then spitting it out.
Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So like when a bird regurgitates for their young.
I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it’s gross.

We’re pretty sure that humans chewed food for their children before blenders and packaged baby food

I imagine it’s like a grandma that doesn’t cook well.
