    Honey is not vomit as it does not reach the stomach. They store it in a special chamber in their esophagus.

    Honey is the result of bees deepthroating nectar then spitting it out.

      So like when a bird regurgitates for their young.

      I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it’s gross.

              Whole foods

              During the breast feeding time alternatives would be a porridge, or animal milk. I assume you could grind food with a pestle and mortar but the baby would most likely die of malnourishment without it

                Humans have only been farming grain for about 10 thousand years, and there’s not many other foods you can grind. Ancient humans ate a lot of meat, and babies after weaning ate meat, much of it pre-chewed by mum. Things like brain wouldn’t need to be chewed

      Never used one myself, but apparently lightly spinning them helps the honey not drip because it’s so viscous. Stop spinning it and it can be drizzled.

      Had to search online because I never understood why one would not just use a spoon either, but if it means there’s not as many little honey trails on the edge of the container, I can see the point. Learned something new today!

        You can do that rolling trick for the dribble with standard flatware, you do have to spin faster though to get it to work well.

        The same idea applies to things you’re pouring out of; twist axially while tipping the container upright and you’ll have dramatically less spillage, even with viscous fluids like honey.

      I think if you’ve got a pot of clear honey, something about the metal changes the honey. We got a pot from a local one time and it was awesome to start with but kept getting cloudier over time (could also be something far simpler, like oxygen!)
