A culinary question. If a chunk of honeycomb (the bee one, not the lolly one) is served on a cheese platter, how is it meant to be eaten? Do you put it on a cracker with the cheese? What about the wax, eat or spit? Or is it for decoration only and don’t touch it?
Some stinky and sharp cheese pair really well with honey.
The wax is edible, should you choose to ingest it.
To me, of it's on a plate or platter, it's fair game.
Fully agree with all of this. Particularly nice on a slice of apple with some stinky cheese mooshed up on it.
Stinky cheese with some sweetness is a god-like combo.
Unless you're vegan, in which case why are you involved with a cheese platter?
Love chewing on the wax forever but I always end up spitting it out in the end. I love honeycomb. It's such a primal way of eating honey and it feels satisfying.
I've never eaten proper honeycomb but I've wanted to for ages. I wonder if I could find some at the south melbourne market if I went for an adventure over there tomorrow.
