Have to completely agree with you there Fran. Nothing beats it.

When I really want to indulge I pop into Hotel Chocolat and really go for the good stuff, seriously 100% pure indulgence and only a once in really long while thing.

My brother used to deliver Milk to the Cadbury factory & he regularly came home with a big bag of broken chocolate bars ... you'd think they would have just melted them all in together & made new bars but thankfully they didn't :lol:

Oh my how did you stop yourself from scoffing the lot every single time?...or didn't you? I'm afraid if it was me I would have no resistance and spent my childhood with stomachaches and rotten teeth :lol:

Whatever's in front of my face. I don't have very discerning taste buds, I guess. I've had people rave over some Trader Joe's something-or-other...a coworker brought me a "sample"...on a plate...this little piece of chocolate. So I tried it. Hoop-dee-doo, pass the M&Ms. Which is not to say that it wasn't good...I just can't tell the difference. I'm the same way with wine. Anything expensive is wasted on me. Pardon the (accidental) pun!
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

The best chocolate I have ever tasted was my mother's home made fudge. The second best was Brown+Haleys Mountain Bars. I went through their plant in Tacoma, Wash and bought boxes of them from their store. Yum. @ Tralala, Im the same way about wine. Someone gave us a bottle of some expensive wine for Xmas one year, 40 dollars a bottle and it tasted like vinegar. Same thing with champainge, to me it tastes like something you find in a barnyard. Barf. Give me good old Boone's Farm anytime.

Yeeeessssss! I get a great sugar buzz from that, too. Seems like every time I drink Boone's I end up at the CC Rider clubhouse. Not sure why...

And thanks for reminding me! My grandmother's fudge is the best chocolate I've ever had. I've no idea if it's even home made, but it's great!

Im the same way with Boones. The only difference is, if I drink too much I usually end up on the floor. :lol:

Mars Bar. Three countries, UK, USA and Australia have their own versions but the gorgeous mixture of nougat and soft caramel coated in milk chocolate is a drooling delight.

(Rumour has it that deep-fried Mars Bars were available from some fish-and-chip shops in the UK).

Don't end up on the floor at the Rider house! Bikers aren't too good at cleaning, despite their spotless appearances.

What would come first? High cholesterol or a heart attack?
