Restaurants adding honey to cheese!

[ThespTheo]

Baked Camembert ruined by drowning it in honey, same for mozzarella sticks.

Who started this awful trend for adding honey to perfectly good cheese?

Or am I weird for not liking it?

Hot honey is a’ the bash richt noo. Affa fine min.

I've had it turkish restaurants and its a no from me

???

YANBU. Honey is horrible! 😖

I do love bees though. 🐝

Ask for it without?

I can't stand honey, how dare they ruin cheese with it!

I had honey offered with cheese pizzas in Japan. It is lovely!

Hot honey is all the rage at the moment. It's lovely.

Dinna understand fit yer asking? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was on one of the Greek islands earlier this year and saw fried feta with honey and sesame seeds on the menu. I was feeling brave and ordered it. It was delicious, the salty feta and honey complemented each other perfectly.

I think honey is delish but I don’t want it on my cheese, certainly not as a surprise addition! Wasn’t on either menu.

I don't really eat sweet stuff, it makes me feel ill. I also really dislike sweet and savoury together; ham and pineapple, pork and apple sauce etc.

I don't love it either - the combination of sweet and salty and cheesy tends to remind me of vomiting.

I didn’t know it was being added!

Yes, I had honey on pizza in Whitechapel (bit less exciting than Japan) and it was delicious!

Spain serves honey with cheese. Delicious

Agreed - I’ve had this and it’s delicious.

Love it. I remember being on a stupidly early flight to Seville once and the 3am wake up was entirely worth it when by 10 I was in a beautiful square having breakfast of toasted bread with goat's cheese and honey.

It's good with feta and halloumi too.

It’s not a recent trend, they’ve been doing it since at least the 80s in the U.K., and basically forever in parts of the Middle East.

Cheese, figs, honey and walnuts is a classic combination.

It doesn’t suit all cheeses, but neither does that balsamic glaze some restaurants like to add. I just ask for it without

I’ve not seen this trend at all.

I think restaurants wouldn’t bat an eye if you ask for the honey to be omitted or not order it at all.

It's OK if someone likes honey. I think it's vile.

Like salted caramel. Whose idea was that?! VILE!

Ah, thought it might have been in the description! I’d love it with feta I think or a salty cheese, not so much with mozzarella.

I'd be rather upset, if it wasn't specified.

I like honey on Camembert.

It’s definitely all over pizza more these days. Was a pain in the bum when DS was weaning!

My DH always has honey and cheese on his toast when we are on holiday.
I think he likes being a bit pretentious because he doesn't have it at home

I don't like it. Even caramelised onion is too sweet for cheese IMO.
