Nigga are you even trying? What are you going to do with a whole head of garlic; scare the vampires away?
>sweet
>goes with anything: sweets, meats, breads, fruits, sauces, dairy, tea, ANYTHING
>calorie dense, but also flavor pack so can be used modestly just fine
>beautiful color
>a healthly hive makes more than enough
>enzymes used by bees to make honey have strange and amazing health benifits
>before raw sugar was commonplace, people would squabble and even war over honey

I'd say garlic due to it's overpowering nature is a good number 4, after ginger and humble but pleasant fresh vanilla bean. Maybe.

I use honey to sweeten my morning coffee and afternoon tea. Approximately 5 weeks ago I ran out of honey at work and had forgotten to purchase some from my local farmer's market.

I sometimes frequent a more upscale coffee shop in the morning before work. They have excellent coffee and two stations where you can add various sweeteners or organic dairy/soy products to your coffee. Their honey is good and in a nice vessel for pouring. For the past three weeks I have been asking for an additional cup of ice with my coffee under the pretense of cooling it down or making my own ice coffee. I pour out the ice at the station and fill it with enough honey to last the week.

Today I purchased a coffee and asked for my usually ice cup . The coffee peon had the audacity to deny me my ice cup and actually told me that a customer had complained about my innocuous habit and that the manager would ban me from the store if I kept, "stealing honey".

I asked her how I was stealing something that was left out for the paying customer, and that I had every right to consume as much honey as I wanted to with my beverage. She said she was, "just the messenger" and to talk with the manager next Tuesday, when he would be back from holiday.

I am currently preparing a case and complaint against said manager and would like your advice on the matter. I was flabbergasted and vexed by this social interaction and it set me off for the rest of the day and possibly my weekend. I wonder if I could use this as part of my argument or to demand some sort of compensation (eg: free coffee for two weeks)?
