Toronto truffle honey

You may drool:
Truffle honey is gaining popularity for its one-two punch of aroma and sweetness, especially good with cheese. Corbin Tomaszeski makes his own, steeping fresh truffles in mountain honey to anoint the chevre-chicken breast sandwich at Holts Cafe on Bloor, while Alida Solomon drizzles Sulpizio white truffle honey over taleggio with walnuts at Tutti Matti for a fantastic antipasti.

Vegemite if vegecould

Vegemite (Australia's version of the UK's Marmite, that favourite breakfast spread) has been banned in the USA.

Could this be a subversive act of the US National Honey Board? Or is it a ruling from the Director of Toastland Security?

Honey to match your tablecloth

Israelis are to market different coloured honey -- pink, red, purple, yellow, blue and green -- maybe to match your mood, crockery or tablecloth. The colour does not affect the taste or consistency.

And there was me thinking that looking at the different natural colours of honey was fun enough. I'm so last season!
