Honey + Apple Cider Vinegar = Honegar
I helped my roommate make a batch of honegar some full moon or two ago. He gave me a jar of it, and for too long I avoided using it because 1) I normally don't like things with vinegar 2) I had no idea what to do with it.
Because of premise #1, I refrained from tasting it, and thus continued to not know what I'd do with it. One day in the recent past I finally gave it a try and got a great kick out of it.
It's really good! Honegar actually works wonderfully on salads like a vinegairette dressing, to reiterate with what I said elsewhere after looking it up and trying it out: It goes well with spinach-based salad--better than many raspberry vinaigrette dressings. I'd re-name it to Honegrette.
However, it seems to have a terrible reputation.
Time Magazine listed it as one of the worst inventions ever:

Same and these people seem to look at it more like a form of medication than they do as an enjoyable food:

I think its predicament is attributable to poor marketing.
