Chocolate - Page 5

wolf · 11-12-2005, 07:13 PM

I'm pretty sure I saw the chocolate fountain on QVC this week also. Interesting device, but despite my love for chocolate I know I have no need for one.

I would like to have a cotton candy maker, though, especially for those long winter nights when cotton candy would be just thing (I think our British friends would call it spun sugar).

Do not mock the George Foreman Grill. It is the greatest invention since the waffle iron.

And now you've also got me thinking how good it would be to make a toasted cheese and bacon sandwich in my sandwich iron.

No, I do not have a turkey fryer or a Popiel Showtime Rotisserie. Or a bread machine.

Limited kitchen cabinet space here in the apt.

You can buy a wicked cheap kids cotton candy maker that will scratch that itch till you're sick of it.

wolf · 11-12-2005, 07:21 PM

I think I have to wait until at least one of the other gadgets malfunctions first.

I want one of those things Marge got for Mother's Day (I think it was Mother's day)--a Kitchen Carnival. One section made cotton candy, one section held hot caramel sauce and a third section deep fried anything. Homer made a giant cotton candy ball, deep fried it and coated it in hot caramel that he took everywhere--even to bed.

fried caramel coated-cotton candy.....droooool...

Aaahh, but did you enjoy it???

These ones aren't so 'whirly' as the old ones, but looks like they do the job!

Sundae · 11-15-2005, 05:12 AM

Honestly?

No - I ate two (sheer greed - I hold my hands up) and I felt quite sick. The problem is there is rather a lot of chocolate, especially on the base. Wonderful as M&S are, their choc does taste like the cheap stuff you get from the market if you eat too much of it

Trilby · 11-15-2005, 06:39 AM

Those whips look yummy! Thanks, Sundae Girl, for the pics and description. I thought M&S was a high-end store. Why would they cheap-out on the chocolate? Have any of the Brits here in the Cellar had American chocolate? What do you think of it? I've heard chocolate in the UK is sweeter.

PS--the walnut seems a bit superfluous.

Yeah, but then it would be just a Whip...

Oh, I get it, walnut a bit superfuous indeed - you just wanted a whip all the time!

Mentioned a favourite chocolate bar called 'Five'Boys at the beginning of this thread.

Found the wrapper (below) on the net. It used to have three layers of different types of chocolate - light milk, normal milk and dark chocolate - as far as I remember.Quite tasty , but God knows how it sold with a design like that on it!

They also had the Nutella spread, which I have never tried.

Get a jar , (coco and hazelnut spread ), some good grainy bread , toast the bread and spread on the Nutella THICK , eat it , and pick your self up off the floor and make another !!!

As to chocolate , the darker the better !!!!

Now for something slightly different BUT related ,
Get a box of Girl Sprout Thinmints ,
freeze them HARD ,
put a few in a blender and beat them up untill they are about the size of an english pea , add a few scoops of some GOOOOD Vanilla ice cream ( the kind with black specks of vanilla bean in it ) , a little milk , and a shot of brandy , mix .
Sit back and enjoy !!!!!!!

I have a two hour lay-over at Heathrow on Monday...I plan on eating the airport dry of Cadbury.

Canada gets some of the good Cadbury's stuff too.

Or, go to the store and buy it. You're still going to need to buy the brandy separately - for now.

The great thing about this country is that if more than two people want something, someone will figure out a way to produce and market it.

I'm still waiting for banana-chocolate chip-peanut butter ice cream.

Lindt truffle balls (dark, milk, and white) are made of chocolate-covered crack.
