Well--fork it over! I'm tired of all this, "we have, we eat..." GIVE US SOME!

ps--if CycleFrance adopts me--I will be very, very, very good. I promise!

Now--when can you expect me?

If chocolate is to be combined with fruit, that fruit must be raspberry.

It is not to be rudely dipped in the chocolate. It is to be made into a puree and used in various chocolate desserts.

Hang on a minute!- you've completely written off maraschino cherries - BFG to you my revered Overlord - and that's not Big Friendly Giant (a la Raould Dahl), nor anything desultory - no, would I ever (?) - this BFG refers to Black Forest Gateau! - very yummy!

Absolutely not! I hate eggs and the fact that the interior of the Cadbury Creme Egg resembles a real egg is enough to make me

Hmmm - Crunchy frog - heap good.

Coconut and chocolate together - drool!! Bounty Bars are one of my favourites.. oh and cherry ripes. There is also one out now called Lindt Pistashio.. and although expensive.. is to die for!

Nothing is better than a sweet white hot chocolate drink on a rainy day with a melting marshmallow to form the frothy head.. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I dont much like chocolate cake, or chocolate syrup or chocolate ice cream.. i like my chocolate REAL and satisfying!

Wen i was last in Melbourne Airport i brought (for $15.99 a slab!) this special chocolate caled foroco (or somethign like that) any way i brought it in a slab form and you got a little potato peeler thing with it to peel off some when you wanted a slice. It was made, instead of dairy milk, with the milk from puree'd hazelnuts and natural cocoa beans. it was abosolutely worth every cent i paid for it.. just divine! but i felt so seedy afterward!

Blimey! and there was me thinking all you had was just Castlemaine XXXX and Fosters on the drinks side, and prawns and such off the Barby. No wonder you go around saying 'no worries' all the time. A right little chocolate passionado, you are for sure, young lady! Don't think I've ever come across white chocolate drink over here - I bet you keep it all to youselves you naughty, naughty Ozzies you (can I really blame you!?) - Horlicks is about the closest we'd get, and that ain't even beginning to be close! And to think that on top of all this all the above contain hardly any calories at all - amazing!!

I think you mean Ferrero Rocher. They sell them here in the US in drugstores and department stores.

I've never heard of them in slabs. I've only seen the chocolate candies in the gold wrapper. According to their FAQ, they do have others.

Quote:

Q: What other products are made by Ferrero?
A: There are many products made by Ferrero worldwide, some of which you may be very familiar with, and some of which have yet to be introduced in the U.S.A. A few of the products you may be familiar with are:

* Tic Tac®, "The 1½ Calorie Breath Mint"
* Nutella®, "The Original Hazelnut Spread®"
* Mon Cheri®, "Fine Milk Chocolate with Toasted Hazelnuts"
* Tic Tac Silvers®, "The sweet little candy with the big heart of mint"
* Raffaello®, "The Crispy, Creamy Coconut Almond Treat"

With nuts.

Right now my main favorite is hershey's milk chocolate with almonds.

I think it's all about the texture. I love Death by Chocolate icecream, which is, as I recall, chocolate icecream with these chewey fudge chunks and chocolate covered peanuts.

Chocolate covered peanuts are also the win.

melidasaur · 11-09-2005, 01:20 PM

Generally - I tend to stick to the dark chocolate varieties. I like how it gives you a slight kick in the pants when you eat it - a wonderful caffiene rush - and it's not too sweet.

Right now, I am totally digging the new Coffee KitKats and Peanut butter filled hershey kisses. If they would only make dark chocolate varieties of the above, I would be quite happy.

Cyclefrance · 11-09-2005, 02:29 PM

Now to find out the real chocoholics!

How many of you would find either this, or this, or possibly even this appetising?

Trilby · 11-09-2005, 03:56 PM

I'd probably go for the pork fat with chocolate. Sounds like the solution to all my PMS problems. I wish we had Fry Shops like they do in Scotland. I hear deep-fried Mars bars are delish!

melidasaur · 11-09-2005, 04:01 PM

Chicken Mole is lovely... and you hardly notice the chocolate - at least that's what I think. It seems that it is more there for color if anything.

Cyclefrance · 11-09-2005, 05:54 PM

Must be showing my age - can't get my brain round chocolate being in either starter or main course. Maybe I'll have to be put in the situation where it's on offer on a menu (starter certainly, main course still not sure I'd take it). Chocolate as dessert absolutely no problem - wife makes a magic choco mousse with a kick of alcohol to make it even more inviting!

We also have an ultra dark chocolate called Green and Black - used to be a private brand but just got taken over by one of the major brands who say they will keep it as it is - we'll have to see as these promises tend to be linked to growth prospects and balance sheets... Nice website though - will have your taste buds doing overtime just looking at it and reading about it.
