Restaurants adding honey to cheese!

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 delicious on a toasted cheese sandwich!!!!

GoldenLegend · 20/10/2024 16:13

Honey on goat or sheep cheese is a classic combination.

You need to get out more.

Comedycook · 20/10/2024 16:13

Yabu. Sweet with savoury is delicious

Love honey on cheese. No complaints here.

NetZeroZealot · 20/10/2024 16:14

Chutney has a lot of sugar in so it’s not a huge leap from pairing cheese & chutney to cheese & honey.
I’d think my hostess was a bit try hard though if she served it on a cheese board.

Saganaki!

Halloumi did get so popular in UK,makes sense to try at least.

VictorianBigot · 20/10/2024 16:25

I don't like it either. Cheese and chilli, on the other hand...

Oldraver · 20/10/2024 16:26

Even Aldi and Lidl sell it now

Doggymummar · 20/10/2024 16:26

I really like it

Waffle78 · 20/10/2024 16:27

I love honey but keep it off my cheese. Especially camembert relish or pickle is the only thing that goes with cheese.

I had goats cheese with honey yesterday. Stunning. Has it with salty crostini’s, fig jam, walnuts and pears.

HerefordHeifer · 20/10/2024 16:30

It does seem to be everywhere at the moment. Goats cheese seems to be making a bit of a comeback as well, it disappeared for a while when all the veggie options went vegan, so I don’t know if that’s connected.

As I hate both, this is not a welcome development for me!

Probably vegetarians.

Cheese bad enough on its own. Mozzarella sticks an exception. Add honey to ANY of it and it's an abomination. Gavel.

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.

This is the only acceptable use of honey with cheese and I agree with you, it is delicious!

YANBU. Honey is horrible! 😖

I do love bees though. 🐝

I thought this too, until I tried fresh local honey. So absolutely delicious.

billysboy · 20/10/2024 16:45

Cheese and honey sandwiches are the best

Why, are you offering toottoot one? 😱 Not sure that's what mumsnet is for...

Goats cheese with honey and nuts is absolutely incredible- I get it in Portugal

when in Greece this year, we were given an OLIVE In honey

that was weird. Even when we told Greeks about it, THEY thought it was weird, but we ate there a couple of times and got used to it 🙂
