A Drizzle of....Corn?

In the days of cutting cost, another natural condiment has fallen to the movement of cheap production. Just the thought of a hot buttermilk biscuit drizzled with pure honey makes my mouth water like crazy. This is the feeling I had as I was driving home from KFC to get my once-in-a-while-fix. By the way, Original Recipe; it's the Colonel!

When I arrived home, I began to open the box and lay my meal out on one of my favorite green plates. That's when I saw it.....Honey Sauce. What in the heck is Honey Sauce? Things are officially going downhill when we start faking things like honey!


The ingredients? The usual suspect....High Fructose Corn Syrup - followed closely by Sugar, Corn Syrup, Honey, and Caramel Color (to give it a tan, I guess). Why is Honey the fourth ingredient? 11% Real Honey just won't cut it.

More and more we see Corn taking over all other ingredients as superior. If I were a bee, I'd be buzzing about this Honey thing!
