Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit!

“Mad honey,” or “deli bal” as it’s known in Turkey, is a rare and potentially dangerous delicacy with psychoactive properties. Turkey’s Black Sea region is one of only two places in the world where it’s produced.
