Wine, apricot spread and honey. I think we've had all the suggestions for names already ?

Right back atcha!

Why though? I don't get it. Why add flowers?
Food should look at taste good enough within this nonsense

Everything's a complicated narrative with that one. The basic point, going back to the original post, is that Highgrove honey is authentically home grown and therefore naturally limited in edition, as well as being sold for charity. And Meghan's is not.

Those sprinkles CurlewKate linked to are an absolute bargain - you get about 5x as much as the As Ever product for about 2/3 of the price!

Yeah, but that's not exactly what you said is it?

You said - and I quote - To be fair, the King makes money out of selling jam, too!

As has been pointed out many times, both today and over the past several months, the King does not make a penny from 'selling jam'.

So your post is quite simply incorrect.

Oh my god. That was weird.....😦

Exactly. So many of us have pointed out the difference personal profit and charity. I have no idea why it's so difficult to understand?

It's a serious suggestion: https://smallpetselect.co.uk/products/flower-power-berry-blend. £8.95. Bargain.

A family pet member has tried these and seemed very impressed:

Bunny Bistro Premium Flower Mix 1kg | 100% Natural Forage Treat for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs & Small Animals : Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies https://share.google/6xbJXcgbPDESD8Qgm

What on Earth is “gentle minerality” when it’s at home?

It is literally rabbit and guinea pig food.

Perhaps it just has a small amount of sediment? 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's bath salts.

Flowers can, of course, have a part in cooking. Rose petals as previously mentioned; M&S sell some pretty flowers (whole fresh flowers like violas) to decorate cakes or salads. I've even made crystallised violets and also rose petals myself.
But I don't see the point in some withered petals that will just get soggy and stick in your teeth.

She’s dissolved some flower petals in it

Well it's Archewell business model as well. No difference between giving it to Sussex' to spend or giving it to charity

Someone on the other thread said that based on invoice numbers they were up to 20,000 or something

Oldest trick in the book, @elessar; a vendor can number invoices however they want but it doesn't necessarily reflect the number actually issued

Of course but honestly if they were gaming it I would expect the numbers to be a lot higher. 20,000 is pretty insignificant really.

I still can’t get over that no one mentioned before launch that the image on the webpage looks like
sjes topped herself (or been topped) in some sort of gothic horror scenario

It’s not complicated. It’s either OK to monetize your name or it isn’t. Provided there is no fraud or deception, it’s possible to make a valid argument either way. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for charity or personal profit. Personally, I wish people wouldn’t because many consumers are easily taken in by marketing. But it’s perfectly legal, whether it’s a 10 quid jar of jam or a £50 souvenir teapot.(disclaimer-I have no idea how much commemorative teapots cost)

Oh, and Middle Eastern cookery often uses flowers. And in the UK, people use nasturtium flowers in salads. And “minerality” is a poncy wine term

A few years ago I bought a cute little box of gin & tonic garnishes, including various spices, as well as rose petals. It sounded lovely, but when I tried drinking the G&T, the flower petals got stuck in my teeth and I found myself having to pick them out. Not exactly the sophisticated Mediterranean vibe I was going for. I ended up chucking the whole box.

Is anyone saying it's not ok to monetise your name? You were challenged over the assertion that Meghan's merching was the same as King Charles and the Highgrove products. It is not. Quite the opposite.
As to your point about flowers , it's something of a reach, dried flowers rarely add anything other than cosmetic enhancement to rich people's food.

You're still not giving up on this one, are you? Even though you are just simply wrong.

The King does not make money from selling jam. Meghan does, or wants to. That's fine I guess, but it is not the same thing. At all.

We're venturing into 'faraway cows' territory here. One of these things is not like the other.
