Chocolate Dreams
This morning at the convenience store Jonathan bought 2 Cadbury’s chocolate bars. This afternoon, after checking the wrapper and finding out it was made in Kenya, I tried one. Never before in my life have I had bad chocolate but that was truly bad chocolate. And not like, ‘oh French chocolate was so much better’. Or, ‘I’m used to gourmet chocolate and this just doesn’t compare’. Think of the cheapest chocolate you can get in the States. This is a lot worse. It really didn’t even taste like chocolate. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as bad chocolate. But I’m here to proclaim the news – there is! I’ve heard you can get chocolate here from South Africa that is pretty good and some from the UK that of course is the best but the most expensive and probably hardest to find. Worth it? If I’m going to eat chocolate at all it is! I’m also glad I still have some chocolate with me that we bought in France. After tasting the bad chocolate, the good chocolate just blew me away. Never take that stuff for granted. Who knew!?

How tragic! I assure you the Cadbury chocolate over here is FAR superior to any chocolate I had in the US!

I’d send you some “real” chocolate, but I’m afraid it would be melted by the time you got it
However, if I need to, I will partake of some this evening on your behalf….I’m going over to Southpark after work, and they have some deelish chocolate stores….but of course, only if I need to….

Hey! Who would’ve thought that there was chocolate worse than Hersheys! If you ever need a good read I recomend “Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light” by Mort Rosenblum. Very Interesting! Do they sell Nutella over there? Love Ya Alisha!
