A couple of months have passed since my last chocolate-related post. When it comes to eating chocolate, I've been pretty 'good' lately and haven't gobbled so much of it.
Last time, I posted about vegan chocolate.
Today, it's chocolate from around the world (well, sort of. Does Ikea count...?)
Ikea Hazelnut Chocolate
My Dad Went To Ikea And All I Got Was This Chocolate Bar.
The packaging is typical of Ikea's simple yet stylish
approach: a yellow wrapper with a dotted illustration of hazelnuts, and the
type of chocolate bar written across the centre in nine different languages.
Saves having to change packaging for different countries, doesn't it?
Anyway. This is a bar of milk chocolate with little bits of
chopped hazelnuts! Usually I avoid nutty chocolate, but as this bar has chopped
pieces of nut rather than whole ones, it's enjoyable. The chocolate is firm and
just sweet enough to compliment the flavour of the nuts.
I've not eaten it all yet, but I don't think it will last
long. Yummy!
Своге Апетитна Ябълка (Svoge Apetitna Yabŭlka / Svoge Appetising
Apple)
I Went to The 99p Shop And (almost) All I Got Was This
Chocolate Bar.
This caught my eye because I couldn't read the text on the
front! Much copying-and-pasting from wikipedia and a little visit to Google
Translate informed me of what it said, and the fact it is in Bulgarian!
So I gained some Bulgarian chocolate, which - according to
the English label that has been stuck to the back - is 'milk chocolate with
apple-cinnamon flavoured milk filling and apple-cinnamon filling'.
The filling is incredibly sweet, and does have something of
an apple flavour, but I can't taste any cinnamon. This is disappointing, as I
love cinnamon!
Still, a couple of squares of this are enough to sate the
desire for something sweet. I'll probably pick at this one for a while when I'm
craving chocolate.
(For the record, the 99p store also yielded crisps, cinnamon
biscuits and an A3 pad of pastel paper, among other things)
Wawel Maciek Adwokat
Milk chocolate bar with an advocat flavour filling.
I found this Polish chocolate bar in Tesco. Before I even
thought of this chocolate goal, I'd tried 'Rom' bar: a rum-flavoured chocolate
bar from a Polish delicatessen that has unfortunately closed. Since Rom turned
out to be pretty strong-flavoured, I've been waiting for an evening to eat this
bar!
Maciek Adwokat is a modestly-sized bar and definitely has an
alcoholic scent to it, much like liqueur chocolates. The filling doesn't look
as gooey as on the illustration, but it's the flavour that's more important,
right?!
Well, flavour-wise, it's actually less boozy than I would
have expected. Once again, it's akin to some of the liqueur chocolates found in
boxes of chocolates from a certain British chain of chocolatiers.
I've never tried advocat itself, so I can't compare the
flavour, but if it's anything like this bar, I would like it!
The filling of this bar is smooth and the chocolate is a
little soft, so this is very easy to eat. In fact, I keep pausing in writing
this in order to munch on another square!
Right then. I'm off to finish that chocolate.
