Seems the chocolate main course is with us to stay!

I watched it too & immediately thought of The Cellar!
Can't say I fancied the gannet much though

Creme Eggs seduce me with their shiny red & blue foil wrappers & their comedy fondant egginess. But I always make such a mess when I'm eating one, and always feel a bit sick after.

Wonder what they're like deep fried......?

Ref Mr Ramsay last night - missed the gannet - dog demanding walkies!

Also saw in paper this morning that Jamie Oliver was in trouble for slaughtering a lamb on prime time TV. Reminded me immediately of that time Simon Dee banged a budgie cage which resulted in an instantaneous end to his career - we Brits won't stand any foul play when it comes to animals (even with dogs who want walkies!)

Back to chocolate - why on earth did they discontinue walnut whips???????

On the off chance you're not asking rhetorically (and with triple digit posts, you should know better...), I give you the Deep Fried Snickers Bar.

A visual sample:



I have had this before, more than once, and it is tasty, decadent, but not the highest expression of chocolate's sublimity. Have one (or two) if you get the chance, then you can cross that one off your dance card.



edit: fixed spelling typo with Montrose's Hot, Sweet and Sticky in the background. Appropos.
