Honey is not vomit as it does not reach the stomach. They store it in a special chamber in their esophagus.
Honey is the result of bees deepthroating nectar then spitting it out.

I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it’s gross.
We’re pretty sure that humans chewed food for their children before blenders and packaged baby food
Some even assume children were born before there were hospitals and doctors around, crazy take, I know.
Most mothers have no qualms about eating the goey half eaten leftovers from their baby.
Or lactated
After that.
Whole foods
During the breast feeding time alternatives would be a porridge, or animal milk. I assume you could grind food with a pestle and mortar but the baby would most likely die of malnourishment without it
Humans have only been farming grain for about 10 thousand years, and there’s not many other foods you can grind. Ancient humans ate a lot of meat, and babies after weaning ate meat, much of it pre-chewed by mum. Things like brain wouldn’t need to be chewed

I imagine it’s like a grandma that doesn’t cook well.
Gross. But also not much grosser than eating off delicious animal corpses.
Would you like dirty bean water or dirty leaf water with your charred carrion, sir?
Actually, can I see the old, rotten fruit liquid list please?
Sorry, we only have a selection of carbonated mould water.
I’ll just have the boiled plant mash filtered through compost.
I’ll have the carbonated fish and wildlife piss filtered through rock procured at a price the fraction of the household supply sold at 10x the price to the detriment of the ecology please.
Wait, what’s this?
My guess is whisky
Cat poop coffee is still the grossest food. Well, maybe this one cheese with live maggots jumping into your face while eating it has it beat.
…Why did they pour it into a contact lens though?
Better adhesion
Second strong contender is a particular
termite’sant’s poop which lives in the jungle and is also mostly sugar.EDIT: I misremembered, it’s an ant. Here’s a neat article about it.

Nah it’s more like cookie crumb.

Honey is great, but probably my favorite most interesting bug byproduct is shellac.
chitin&chitosan
research
TLDR: “Chitosan and derivatives have been explored in the development of nanomaterials, bioadhesives, wound dressing materials, improved drug delivery systems, enteric coatings, and in medical devices.”
Yes, so far… Hehehe
