Mmmmffll-CHOMP: I won? Reg reader to have CHOC-TASTIC YEAR A choc-a-rific cheer for Reg reader Toby Fenton, who won The Register's compo prize of a year’s subscription to creamy confection dispensers Cocoa Runners. Toby got all the answers to the questions right... So what were they? Cocoa beans are known as 20:20 because they grow from 20 degrees north and south of the equator. …
...had one of those boxes, the Pump Street one was divine, but some of the others tasted no better than Tesco value milk chocolate. As they are "artisan" brands, I guess I'm not supposed say that am I? Next I'll be saying people can't tell the difference between Aldi wine and Chateux overpirced or super-mega oxygen free, white gold cables and a coat hanger.
Emperors new clothes, never!
Still, jealous? Me? Never!
...How the size of chocolate bars are shrinking? And tins of chocolates as well! I've still got a tin of Quality Street from 1992 (the tin, not the Chocs) and on the side it says weight including wraps 2Kg/1.93Kg net!
Now they've shrunk to about 750g a tin!...ROBBING BASTARDS!
Agree, have a friend who says a bakers near where I used to live doesn't make "proper" bread, despite making it the same way for almost 200 years, but the gluten free, soy and rye seed with a dash of olive oil and ginsing is "proper" bread. I think it's because that baker has a beard, NHS style glasses and uses "products" in his hair, oh, as well as charging 10x the price.
