I was recently in Ireland and picked up a jar of heather honey from a burnt out American hippie/beekeeper. He insisted that heather honey was the equivalent of edible gold and that he ate 2 pounds of the stuff a day when he first emigrated to Scotland. The hippie was absolutely right. It's like honey crack with a truly unique and utterly addictive suppleness.
Does anyone know a bit about the distinguishing qualities of this honey? Maybe a little history, experience or insight to heather honey harvesting?

I'll be visiting Austin, Texas in April and have started to scout some spots for the 5 day jaunt. What are some great central city eats? I'm looking for low-key, funky places for dinner, as well as great breakfast joints. Maybe a couple of places that are good for groups too. And if anyone wants to throw in some bars with good music and beers, I'd love some tips. Thanks!

I'm headed over the Atlantic to spend time in Cork for a few days, where I've already scouted my food stakes, but I will be in Dublin for the end of the trip. Does anyone have suggestions on unique, funky places that are small/family owned and not too pricey? I'm staying with a family in Cork, and want to extend the local experience as much as possible-even in the big city. Thanks, and cheers!
