sounds like maybe chestnut honey

I'm not sure about that -- I have not noticed any chestnuts in Egypt at all, whether as an ingredient or something eaten out of hand. The bee hives were just steps away from the oven where this woman, out of another century, was baking, and then there was a table of honey that had been put in jars right near-by and there were bees buzzing all around that, and all around this woman. The honey wasn't bitter honey, but it had a slightly bitter edge or finish to it. Language was an issue, of course, so I couldn't learn more!
