nice sweet post!
Growing up in very homogenized post-WWII America, there was only one type of honey. Then in the mid-70's we were on shlichut to London and someone gave us a Rosh Hashannah gift of a variety of honeys. That was my first chance to taste honey flavors!
Our bodies need something sweet, and my Shabbat dessert is baked apples. No sugar added, since baking concentrates the natural sweetness.
