Singular Scene

So Singular in Each Particular

Chocolate = Bliss

by

Bliss has been in town, both last week and this. The week before that she was in New Zealand and while she was there she thought of me.

I love that.

She thought I’d like some chocolate… NZ made, proper dark chocolate with white peppermint filling. This is peppermint chocolate done right… which is different than Australian Cadbury Chocolate which is milk, with green (ewww) filling. And made in Australia, which, don’t get me wrong, I love Australia… but doesn’t measure up in the chocolate dept as every self respecting Kiwi will tell you…

Anyway… Bliss was in NZ, 2 weeks ago and bought me chocolate… and came to Sydney last week and FORGOT TO BRING IT WITH HER.

Upon this earth shattering announcement I generously allowed that she need not feel guilty if she couldn’t help herself and had to eat it. Realistically… I probably would have… I mean… NZ peppermint chocolate… all alone… on the shelf…

But because she loves me so much she exercised great will power and last night… at our favourite Steak Restaurant she gave it to me…

I heart Bliss.

    Ooooh, after chocolate orange, chocolate peppermint is my favourite. Just like you described it. Aussies don’t really know chocolate but I have heard that’s because they have to put extra stuff in it to stop it melting on the shelves. That kind of makes sense to me.
    I may have make an exception in the “Aussies don’t know chocolate” statement for strawberry caramello koalas. Mmmmm….

    Ah but Steve, you have After Eights and even though they are a Nestle product they are wicked good…

    But why aren’t Cadbury’s doing dark chocolate with peppermint in the UK, that’s what I want to know? Why should the Antipodaeans get all the best stuff? Next time I walk past the Cadbury factory, I may go in and complain… (but knowing me, I probably won’t)
