As vulture bee honey is derived from animal flesh, it is not suitable for vegetarians.

Phew that's good to know! Nearly gourged myself on some corpse honey

Honey produced by vulture bees is a pleasant tasting and sweet smelling honey-like liquid.

It's strange that it doesn't taste like rotten flesh.

I read it tastes a bit more like cheese/butter.

Thank you, this comment made me feel unwell

Because regular honey tastes just like pollen?

[–] Sphks@jlai.lu 2 points 23 hours ago

No it doesn't. It would be strange. Regular honey is made from nectar.
