Once in a while is nice.

Or maybe you call it a row?

Porferic. Post in its proper place - jokes thread.

And defeat the object of making it appear something it's not? Where's the fun in that?

I'm not clicking on that, too often it's a link to the Guardian and I find the begging letter that comes with each item depressing.

Just for you...

Indeed.

No idea what the joke is...?

Now I'm intrigued...oh you must mean the "support the guardian" thing. I don't see them anymore.

Getting people to talk about chocolate while making it look like it's about cocaine. Looks like a fail.

Shard

A bit oblique.

Having said that, total addict.

I used to be a complete chocoholic but I find it so disappointing these days (grumpy old woman emoticon). Which chocolate is still worth eating? Perhaps I should give cocaine a try

The bar I had that prompted this was Lindt. More expensive than most but very often reduced.

Mine was a 300g fruit and nut slab from Jean Coutu for just over $6, making it cheaper than Cadburys.

Lindt. They have so many varieties in their Excellence range. Please do some research and report back!

BristolUK

There are two mint ones...I forget which is which right now but one has little crispy bits in. It's to die for.

Which part of 'complete chocoholic' was unclear? Lindt is everywhere! How did you imagine I might have missed it? It's ok. Just not great. I consider it, but I don't usually buy because it's just ok. But then even the last chocolate orange I shelled out $6 for was only ok.

Maybe it's old tastebuds. I certainly use more salt than I used to I definitely haven't lost a sweet tooth. Middle child made some fabulous choc shortbread last week, and I was developing a serious wine gum habit until I went cold turkey for the sake of my pancreas.

I would consider ordering some from Thorntons to see if I still like that, but the last time I tried the CBSA snaffled them. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and call Maxwell & Kennedy.

Seems as though M&K have gone out of business.

My cousin works in a chocolate shop. He works behind the bar.

Well you did ask "which chocolate is still worth eating" ? Lindt is decent chocolate, more than "ok" it's either your taste buds or they tweak the formula in Canada. I typically have the 70% or 85% Lindt. Their milk chocolate is nice, but that's not really chocolate anyway. Not keen on Thorntons, the UK equivalent of Purdys, certainly not a Godiva or Leonidas.
