Paging the Chocoholics

Scumerfield has got Green & Blacks in for £1.55 a bar.

<burp>

 

I don't think I could burp after G&B. It's usually more like a
contented murmur.

 

Have 10 bars and go for the entire Technicolour Yawn.

 

Home Bargains have got Walkers Brandy Licquer chocolates (expiry this month
though) in for 88p a box. Beat that. I've eaten a box in one day already.

 

Expiry dates on chocolate can be taken with a massive pinch of salt (as
it were).

Chocolate lasts for years and years. You might get a slight bloom on
it, after a very long time or in warm temperatures when the fat rises to
the surface, but apart from that, no worries.

I've actually eaten 90 year-old chocolate.

 

size? flavour? need to be sure before braving the evil scumerfield...

 

My local Tesco Express has the Organic Dark at £1.25 a bar.

That may be so, but we've seen what you look like and what sort of
things you buy. No TYVM.

 

I've heard of passing on unwanted Christmas presents but that's just
ridiculous.

 

In the Boer War, Queen Victoria gave a tin of chocolate to every soldier
in South Africa. The tins turn up in antique shops all the time.

My mate Niall - his parents had one. Incredibly, it still had the
chocolate inside it, in individual finger-sized bars, wrapped in silver
foil. His Dad had peeled off the foil from one to try it, and invited me
to do the same.

It's not every day you get this sort of opportunity. It was as dry as
dust, but still perfectly edible.

Niall's dad died some years ago, but his Ma still has the tin AFAIK. I
think the tins themselves go for £20-£40, but what one would fetch with
the chocolate still inside is anyone's guess.

 

Have you tried the ice cream? I'm trying to resist the cookies but I
feel my will weakening each time I see them.

 

Yes - both the vanilla and dark chocolate. Neither of them lasted very
long.

I haven't seen the cookies. Yet. I may well be conducting some
research in the very near future.

 

You've still got too much Jim Davidson in your vocabulary. It's "black".

And "G-MILF"...

 

Organic Dark, Organic White, Organic Milk, all 100g bars.

 

Dan White scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Well, my local Tesco Metro has a limited selection (Milk, Maya Gold and
70% dark) for 1.25 per bar...

 

Is that the 100g bars? These are the "organic" ones (I don't know if they
all are).

 

AFAIK, G&B is all organic.

 

Dan White scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Yep, 100g bars and they are the organic ones, too. AFAIK all G&B is
organic.

Hrumph. Oh well, off to Tescos for me then...
