Many have wondered why John the Baptist went about eating locusts in the desert. Carob is also known as St.John's Bread, and the tree the fruits come from is closely related to the locust tree of the Bean family.
Oops, did I do that... again.
Carob hulls taste a little like cocoa, the actual seeds are teeth breakers though.
I would have to look into the wild honey to see if it "means what it means."
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
