    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’ve been waiting for a large portion of my life for someone who has tried chestnut honey to confirm or deny but chestnut honey is really rare here and I also can’t confirm if there are multiple types of chestnut tree that would result in different flavour or aroma. I had two 1L jars of the honey from Slovenia, and one smaller jar from Italy several years later though so I expect it to be fairly consistent even from different hives.

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