Chocolate - Page 3

Sundae · 11-10-2005, 09:53 AM

Curly-Wurlies are still on the market I promise - in fact I had one just a few months ago. I prefer to put them in the fridge so that I can snap off sections - if you let the caramel pull, all the chocolate falls off!

Frozen jubblies? I think that's what I get in Winter

I won't hijack this with penny sweets, but I do miss milk teeth and beer bottles.....!

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!

Anyone into Cadbury's Creme Eggs...?

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

I enjoy the Cadbury Creme Eggs, but much prefer the Dove truffle Eggs. The Cadbury Eggs are just too sweet ... now, if they were made with Dark Chocolate, they might have something, with a bitter shell being set off by the sweet creme interior. I like the imitation egg looking filling ... actually one of the selling points for me.

Dark Chocolate is the best, the bitterer the better (but still of edible quality rather than baking ingredient quality. I have one of those lindt extra dark 80% bars in the fridge. oooh drool)

I LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs--quasi-yolk filling and all! Gooey goodness! And, after I eat one or two, I can CONQUER THE WORLD!

Cyclefrance · 11-10-2005, 02:38 PM

Well what do you know - tuned on the telly to watch while I had my cuppa tea - Channel 4, Gordon Ramsay (aka Urbane Guerilla) new food programme on, and what is he cooking? Only venison in a red wine and chocolate sauce!

Seems the chocolate main course is with us to stay!

Hemlock · 11-10-2005, 09:13 PM

I like all kinds of chocolate - except white. Pappa said "never trust whitey" snd I don't. He also said "the Lord loves a working man," and he taught me the difference between s*** and shinola.

I am still not too sure about that last one...

wolf · 11-11-2005, 01:04 AM

You knew that someone would help you out, right?

That's one for 'Wierd Sayings' (and Wolf's answer)

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......?

Cyclefrance · 11-11-2005, 05:45 AM

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???????

Sundae · 11-11-2005, 06:01 AM

I missed Jamie, but from what I have heard about the programme I would not have had a problem with it. I'm not a vegetarian and I can face up to the fact that animals are killed in order for me to eat them.

Anyway, balaclava away, hijack avoided - Walnut Whips? Do you have a very poorly stocked sweet shop near you, or are you subscribing to "Vanishing Chocolate Weekly"? I am pretty convinced I have seen Walnut Whips on sale recently... It will be my mission this lunchtime.

If they really have disappeared, you know M&S do a reasonable facsimile don't you?

Like Creme Eggs, I have always found them hard to eat in a clean way. In both senses of the word.

You are a veritable fountain of confectionary knowledge. Haven't seen WWs down here for years, and was sure there was a press article about their being axed way back. M&S WWs haven't seen either - although trips tend to be for the trooses and undiwundies, so tend to give the food hall a miss. I will explore thoroughly next visit.

I agree with you about Creme Eggs - they are definitely members of the 'sounded like a good idea at the time' fraternity - so sticky...!
