Day three of the Blog Hub Swap at chez moi. Before I show you what I pulled out of the Royal Mail pouch today, I initially promised everyone a better photo of my most awesome orange yarn from Day 1. Good as my word, here it is:
Fabulously orange, yes?
Now, onto today's swappy gem. It's Sunday, so I was particularly pleased to pull what you see to the right out of the hat.
As good as this chocolate was (yes, you know it's long gone now, folks!), I've also received some great chocolate in other swap packages. Most recently I received this bar of chocolate awesomeness from Germany:
It was not too sweet, had little bits of nut and fruit in it, and was just a delight to eat and oogle over the packaging. I've also received memorable Belgian chocolate that contained chili pepper. Go figure.
From where have you received great chocolate? Definitely let me know, as I'm always on the great chocolate lookout.
Tomorrow is day 4: the happy hump day of swapping gifts. I'm certain I can't wait for another dip into the shiny packages in the Royal Mail pouch.
I do love that orange :-) Personally, I don't like posh chocs: Swiss or Belgian ....
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you liked chocolate all that much, period - posh or otherwise.
DeleteOh, I love good chocolate. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think Mexican Hot Chocolate is one of my favorites.
I haven't actually Mexican hot chocolate, but if it's made with chili and cinnamon, I'd probably love it. :)
DeleteHiya, my local delicacy is actually Staffordshire Oatcakes, but they are perishable so had to go for something from England instead. The Cadbury's factory is about one hour south of me, and the Thornton's one is about one hour east of here, so both pretty much in my region. The Ferrero-Rocher is a little further afield, about 3 hours south I believe, I had no idea they shipped internationally though and would be available to you, obvious now I have learned that they are part of the Kinder group - doh!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that both Cadbury and Thornton's is fairly close to you (at least I would think so if I lived that close to them). And yes, Ferrero-Rocher is pretty well ingrained in American chocolate culture. :)
DeleteI think I would like to try those Stafforshire oatcakes, should I ever get to Stafforshire ...
They are not like the biscuits that we have called oat cakes, they are more like an English pancake, but savoury. We have them warm with cheese/tomatoes/bacon/sausage/mushrooms/tomatoes, that sort of thing. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds great - bring 'em on!
