What do you mean by this? What do you mean by "first contact peoples"?

Well honey straight from the hive needs to be boiled and the scum and 
bits of bug and such skimmed off. You can see that direction in many of 
the period recipes having to do with honey. Honey bought in the store 
generally has already had these operations done.

Like what? There have been more than a few unusual meats and items 
discussed here on this list. I can point to a few such discussions 
archived in the Florilegium if you wish me to.
Let us know what you have eatten and we will let you know if you even 
come close to some folks who have been on this list, such as Ras.

Again, you haven't been on this list long, have you? :-)
