Edited for stupidity. Why don't you talk about cats or dogs or bungee jumping frogs in here instead?

Only if they are mysterious ones...

If we talk about dogs and cats, we'll all end up having one big argument. No one will agree on that topic.

Except that we can agree about not agreeing. In any case, giraffes are the best pets.

DO we ever agree about anything, other than off-topic being normal.

By the way is this the new record, ES going off topic on the very first post in his own thread?

I contend that being off-topic is actually the equivalent of being on-topic elsewhere and that it's the on-topic people we need to be wary of.

Waaaa!

Now I am genuinely curious about what you actually said....

I agree with Martin there, what was it that got "mysteriously corrected" before we even got the gist of the thread?

Perhaps a mysterious term paper, with mysterious correction fluid?

At this point nothing I could say would live up to the hype. Not even the Swiss chocolate being devoured over the course of day.

Is swiss chocolate anything like swiss cheese? Holes all the way through it, that would just be a waste of the space that could be filled with something nice like . . . . chocolate!

more like Belgian chocolate: better than French (just) & miles better than British

Ah yes, Belgian choolate. The most irritating confectionary on earth. Wears a little moustache and a natty suit, and solves the riddle of where all the other chocolate bars have disappeared to ...

I much prefer Swiss chocolate. Not only does it taste better but it's also good with your money and discrete to the point of obsession.

An important trait in chocolate <nods sagely>

<Searches vainly for non-offensive French stereotype>

Belgian Chocolate always make me think of hazelneut praline - what a waste of good chocolate!

I'm going to stay neutral on the subject of Swiss chocolate.

I'm not knocking French chocolate: just putting my preference as Belgian, (no praline just chocolate) Swiss, then French.

Mainstream British and U.S hardly qualify as chocolate as far as I am concerned.

Having sampled chocolates from many places I contend:

Chocolate comes in grades of good (survival level) better (mass produced chocolates) much betterer (good mass produced chocolates) and best ( those delights that one occasionally finds at the more exclusive choclatoria where snobbery and gold wrap are as important as taste.

I prefer to live at the 'much betterer' level where one enjoys it all and can consume the evidence before partners/offspring/visitors/etc can find it.

New Zealand made chocolates seem to be smoother than Oz made ones and I think it has to do with the initial milk quality. European chocolates in general have a higher cocoa content than in Oz/NZ or there is some production technique that gives it a more bitter (not bitte) sensation.

But the Belgian chocolates sold by Coles in Oz are good value.

<makes memo: get chocolate on pay day and ensure that supplies are adequate to avoid sensory deprivation over next 2 weeks. Ignore the fact that the Show is on in Adelaide at present and chocolate show bags will be arriving with daughter who has her cats entered on 3 days>
