Title: 100% cocoa content
Post by: goldencup on May 12, 2008, 08:47:05 am: Somebody at work who knows I like chocolate keeps giving me these drum shaped lumps of 100% stuff from Waitrose. I'm sure some people must love it but I can't even take the smell of it! I'm told it's quite expensive so I can't decide how to tell this person that I don't actually like it. If I say I'm on a diet he might not bring me any at all! How ungrateful am I?

Two questions spring to mind here;

a) will he believe you ?

b) will he think you need to?

Oh! c) Will he think it's actually working?

I like the sound of that word.

Don't mess with my chocolate or I'll smash your ganache.
