Chocolate

[Sundae]

I've had Chicken Mole - it was cooked by an English friend from a cookery book, so I can't vouch for its authenticity, but it was delicious. And I agree with Melidasaur in that you can't really identify the chocolate - then again, I was very, very drunk....

Cyclefrance, following the key lime discussion am I to assume you don't remember Chocolate Limes? Pastel green boiled sweets with chocolate inside. They were a favourite of mine in the days of old-fashioned sweetshops.

uh... no... can't say I remembered the lime ones - had something similar like hard toffee flavoured boiled sweet with chocolate inside (bit like a toffee chocolate eclair but the toffee wasn't soft and chewy - mind you THEY were nice). Trouble is that if I start thinking about childhood sweets then the subject goes swinging away from chocolate to embrace such goodies as sherbert flying saucers, sweet cigarettes, fried eggs, shrimps, liquorice shoe-laces, gob-stoppers, those ones that explode on your tongue (sherbert bangers?), and so on. What about frozen jubblies? - see it starts a whole new thread if we're not careful... The only major chocolate one I really remember that has now disappeared was the 'Curly-Wurly' - advertised on the telly by Terry Scott doing his naughty schoolboy act ('my bruvva...')

Sad, or what....!
