A Taste of Honey
A taste of honey is the title of a song sung by the very famous Beatles. Actually I am assuming you are in my age group because the Beatles would not be known or famous to you if you are much younger than me!
John Lennon wrote these Lyrics

I dream of your first kissAnd then I feel upon my lips again A taste of honey Tasting much sweeter than wine I will return, yes I will return I'll come back for the honey and you
Brilliant lyrics promoting the sweetness of honey. I am not sure if John or any other of the Beatles used honey to keep their vocal chords lubricated, I do know they were brilliant singers and songwriters.There have certainly been many famous singers over the years such as Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Liam Gallagher formerly from Oasis who do swear by honey for the healing and soothing effects it has on their throats. Kate Moss, once considered a super model was invited to sing at Simon Cowells birthday party .. Not well known for her singing she was said to be determined to do well and took advice from her rocker boyfriend at the time, Jamie Hince. She practiced her scales and gargling with lemon and honey, obviously because she was determined to do well and not let herself down!
She once read that this is what Mariah does ahead of each performance and the wonderful Katherine Jenkins drinks her manuka honey with pineapple to save her voice from harm.
These people and many other singers and actors will regularly gargle with honey to kill off any bacteria lurking around which could cause them dreadful problems as their lifestyle and careers are so dependant on them being able to sing.
We too can benefit from the same home remedies for curing our own coughs and sore throats. This is how I and my family prefer our own "Eat and Drink our Honey" although none of us are really singers! Those Lyrics certainly do sum up the power of honey though, don’t you think! Return to My Articles for Fun
