honeycomb

I've been given a jar of honey which contains a piece of honeycomb.
Sounds a daft question, but can I actually eat the honeycomb?

Well, you can... it's wax though.

I think you chew it to get the flavour and then spit it out.

you can eat it and swallow the wax; I love it! It's chewey and sweet.

Never did me any harm

glad someone asked this as I've often seen it in jars but never knew what you did with it :blink:

There's a joke in there somewhere about candle manufacture, but I wouldn't dare.

Thanks everybody.
Looks like the best way is the old "suck it and see" method.
Will give it a whirl.
