Bought two bars of fair trade chocolate in t'village shop the other night.
Result No 1:
The Dark chocolate is nice, worth buying but not super strong.
Result No2:
The Milk Chocolate version is rubbish :smt078 . Just drowned a bottle of Romanian red in anticipation of finishing off the bar.
Further advice on good chocolate gratefully received.

Well Luckily the sharpness of the wine is making the chocolate more bearable this evening.
As for chocolate being for girls, these are the most important legally consumed commodity goods that I enjoy on a regular basis (most important first):
1. Petrol
2. Red Wine
3. Chocolate.
4. Beer.
5. Subaru tyres
Reckon No 1 will disappear first, followed by No 5 about half an hour later!

Trouble with Fairtrade is it just doesnt taste as good if someone didnt have to slave for it

Just bought it because it was cheap.
Anyone started selling fair trade petrol yet?

:lol: Is that like chips always tasting better when you have stolen them from someone else.;)
Personal choice - Green and Blacks Chocolate rocks big time. Organic too, so your conscience is eased by it being produced by Hippy Slave Labour.:cool:

Have finished said bar of chocolate.
I've now managed to source one remaining M&S mint chocolate that also came with a miniature bottle of port. The next experiment is underway.
Note: These are normal capitalist products, so expect them to taste good in balance to the heavy weight I bear on my soul for greedy consumption...
Mmm, chocolate. Ooh, double chocolate. (Gasps) New flavor--triple chocolate!

Can't stand Galaxy chocolate, its too "sickly" for me. Prefer Daily Milk. Its the same with Galaxy minstrels and Dairy Milk Shots, can't eat minstrels but absolutely hoover up the shots:mrgreen:
Strangely I find that cheap chocolate bars usually taste better than a lot of the fancy expensive chocolate:smt120
guess who found the rating button on the forum!!! ;)
Green & Blacks:smt045
Green & Blacks ice cream!!!
Them little chocolate bunnies with the bell on are nice, or so I remember from last easter.

I suspect that that would be oxymoronic
