Chocolate!

Postby Workingman » 18 Jan 2015, 18:39

Seeing as how the gas is off I thought I would treat myself with a bar of chocolate. Now, I do not eat much chocolate so a decent sized bar at £1 special offer in the Co-op looked ideal.

There I am in the kitchen trying all sorts to remove the damned wrapping and when I turn it over :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: there is not a straight line to be seen anywhere! There are curves this way and waves that way and big wobbly triangles and little bendy triangles, but no way of sharing it equally. Whose idea was that? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I wouldn't want to be a mum or dad these days and have to sort out the chocolate wars between siblings. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ridiculous aren't they?! Why couldn't they just leave them as they were?

I came away from my Mom and Dad's last night with a couple of 100g bars of Green & Blacks chocolate which my sister had left for me. She doesn't like dark chocolate and someone had given her these at Christmas. I'd never tried Green & Blacks before but I can now say that there's a chocolate that I don't like - I tried two squares of the lemon infused one when we got home and put the rest in the bin :o
The other bar has Yorkshire toffee in it and it's a bit nicer.

Jo, I find that dark chocolate is not an eating chocolate, it is more to savour. When I was working in France I used to get an 85% dark chocolate by Castelain and it was the best ever. A little piece stuck under your tongue lasted ages and the aftertaste went on forever. It was also good to drop a piece in a cup of coffee.

I love dark chocolate but not with funny flavours - mint or orange is good, anything else just weird :D

I love it with coffee Frank, a bit of dark chocolate melting in the mouth with coffee...the one I tried last night just tasted odd though, I couldn't detect any lemon. I thought it'd be lovely too!

I love Green and Blacks dark chocolate. Especially the chilli one.
