    I'm not aware that honey is the name of an English county though.

    The food in question is a type of meat.

    It helps if you're Australian.:)

    The name of the county has just 5 letters.

    All I can find are

    Devon


    Originally 'Defnas'. The word shire was added and has subsequently been lost. Defnas is derived from the Celtic tribal name Dumnonii, which is of unknown origin. The Welsh name for Devon is Dyfnaint and the Cornish name is Dewnans.


    Essex


    Literally 'East Saxons'. The county was the former petty Kingdom of the East Saxons.

    That's the county. Knowing what that means to Australians - particularly those from the eastern States - should help you work out the country.

    Known in the UK as luncheon meat I believe - but also known in Australia by the name of a European country, although I've no idea why.

    No - the name of the meat is exactly the same as the name of the country.
