Armenian Honey

A quick an easy way to get into the good graces of any tatik (grandmother) you meet here is to extol the virtues of any traditional Armenian good or service- but in particular the Armenian food. Lavash? Best bread in the world. Dolma? Food of the Gods. Horovats? To die for. But please believe me when I say that I'm not trying to curry anyone's favor when I say that Armenian honey is perhaps one of the most delicious substances to ever bless this Earth. Maybe it's this mountain thyme that all the bees are feasting on, I don't know. Whatever it is, it's raised the bar on honey for me. I'm never going to be able to be content with those squeezy-bears from the supermarket again.
