Honey 101

[shootingstar]

Prior to driving to Melbourne, I remembered that travellers by road can't bring fruit, veggies, seeds, plants etc accross the WA-South Australian border...What I didn't know: honey was included . I bought some local honey in Forrest, Vic hoping to try it when we arrived home. When we pulled up to the stop sign at the WA border inspection & saw honey on the list I thought...poo...I was a honest individual & told the quarantine inspector as I know what how much the fines are

I guess we'll just have to go back to vic & try some local honey. The fig jam made it through though.

Wow, there are some interesting problems in Aussieland being a big continent out in the middle of the ocean.

I can't imagine..it sounds almost as unusual as trying to restrict maple syrup transport across Canada. Or birch syrup but that's even more expensive.
Again honey is just another of those cultural specific things eaten or produced only in certain regions of the world for retail consumption. Think about it: most traditional East Asian recipes don't use honey.

I didn't develop any honey understanding until I met my dearie.
