Ohh goodie, I get to talk about chocolate! Finally. Okay, so I also don't consider myself a chocoholic, but I sure love it. The best chocolate I've ever had was at my sister's wedding. They imported these truffles from Italy. each one hand made. They were to die for.You literally felt like you had to be left alone with them, because you couldn't help but moan! They melted in your mouth, they were covered with powdered cocoa, oh man. I can't go on...I want one now.

Glacier still rules....
Well, finally got a chance to get back to Boulder for ice cream briefly. Glacier still makes the best truly chocolate-y ice cream I've had. The color alone is shades darker than most brands even dream about. They also have a Valhrona chocolate sorbet and a Schokinag gelato. I know that some chocoholics actually don't even like chocolate ice cream because it really isn't chocolate-y enough, but this one is.
Also, I picked up one of the Costco spring Belgian chocolate assortments a while back and recently got a recall letter from Costco & Gudrun chocolates. Apparently they had a temperature issue with some part of the February order (I think this is why they disappeared from the stores for several weeks.) and had some boxes with sugar bloom, which is of course harmless. My box was just fine, but they offered a return regardless if I'd wanted it. |

Extraordinary chockies (as well they might, at E67 a kilo)
yesterday at Borzeix-Besse in Treignac (another one at Limoges). Extremely smooth darks based on raw materials bought of Valrhona and then (I'm told) subjected to the light touch of the local chocolate genius. This weekend we'll compare with Maison du Chocolat in the big city. |
While I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting CDG or BRU (which just means I have that to look forward to!), I can recommend an incredibly rich chocolate dessert at a restaurant. It's a soutnerh/southeastern chain called Don Pablos - mexican texan type food, you know, fajitas and such.
They have a dessert called the chocolate volcano. Their description: "Nothing can save you from the enticing richness of the chocolate cinnamon cake surrounded by a pool of molten, chocolate butter sauce, topped with premium vanilla bean ice cream" My description: "orgasm on a plate" The cinnamon cake and vanilla ice cream cut the sheer richness of the chocolate sauce so that you can stand the intensity of it. Such a wondrous combination. I drool even thinking of it. It may not be as highbrow as many of those mentioned here, but it is an incredible experience :) |

Cadbury's Dairy Milk - nothing fancy but very moreish
BUT it has to be the stuff made in England and not the stuff made overseas in warmer climates. They put stuff in it to stop it melting in the heat and it ruins it IMO |
