Manuka honey seems to have sneaked up on me without my noticing. I mean it's suddenly all over the supermarkets in varying levels of "factor" and (very!) varying price.
Some of the prices are ridiculous. I daren't go near the shelves in case I accidentally knock one off and have to pay for it.
So, what's it supposed to be good for, and is it in fact any good?
I certainly like the idea of raw honey, and sometimes buy Tropical Forest honey, which is cold-pressed. That's about £4 per pound locally, which is probably already twice the price of more mass market honey, but the manuka stuff can go up to 5 times that, and maybe more.
