One thing about Pierre Marcolini -- the store gets pretty wiped out at the end of the week, so sometimes its slim pickings. This is the store on grand sablon, the store at the conrad maybe less trafficed.

There is a pierre marcolini in London now. I guess it'll have to do if you can't get to Brussels.

Mary in Brussels has some pretty darn good lemon dipped in chocolate.
Having said that, those pictures of George W. visit made me want to leave the store quickly.

For those who enjoy a good tablette --- le pain quotidien sells really good chocolate tablets and taller half is quite fond of them.

As for freezing chocolate. That is a good idea. Though taller half buys lots of chocolate, it takes her a long time to actually eat it or totally forgets that she has three 500 g ballotins in the fridge. She's running low though...time for a trip.

We did make the mistake of buying some chocs made with cream. Yech, that stuff needs to be consumed within a week or it goes off.

Me, I can't wait for a small box of rocher's from gerard mulot and a small assortment from christian constant. yum.
