At last! My chocolate tasting box has arrived! I’m a member of The Chocolate Tasting Club which sends me (for a small fortune of course) a box of fresh and artisanal chocolates each month. I’ve only ever had one chocolate I didn’t enjoy from them, a chocolate filled with Thyme Ganache (waaaaaay too much thyme). The others have all been sublime… I’m living in hope that they’ll start selling kilo boxes of Mandel Nougat.
I do feel very virtuous when I work my way through the box of chocolates. After all, when I score the chocolates the scores do go to the chocolatiers, so its almost as if I am providing a service to them! Therefore, its work, and if we follow that tenuous logic far enough…. the chocolates must be calorie-free! Like I said, virtuous.
I’ve just ordered their Chocolate Oscars box for Feb 2004 – all the top scoring chocolates of 2003 in one box. I’ll be watching the Oscars this year (if LoTR didn’t sweep the boards, I’ll eat my hat!) so I’ll be sure to indulge myself with most of the box.
And now its time for me to go and gorge on my chocs – which one shall I try first? This month (amongst others) we have “Manon Framboise”, “Beaujolas Pear Truffle” and “Macadamia Turtles”. All look equally delicious….
