no indeed.
Can I just take this opportunity to say that I do not wish to be contraversial by being a Guardian Angel and an Avenging Angel. I have to ay that the latter is merely for the sake of the title, and I see no reason why there should be any friction between the two groups. I'm not going to do what some people do and leave H2G2, or even give up any of my titles, because I don't see that I'm doing anything wrong. I have every right to call myself whatever I want, and I can't say it offends anyone particularly (correct me if I'm wrong), and I have every right to be on H2G2. Now that's enough seriosity, here's some ness:
Will, you have to help me on this one
WIBBLE!!!!

My own fave chockies are those soft centred Belgian ones ... pralines they call them. The real thing tastes incredible. Anyone else tried them?

Isn't praline what's inside those ferrero rochers?

Kes Posted Jan 19, 2001
Erm, sort of .... "Praline" is French for "soggy, gooey chocky filling", so anything like that qualifies ...
but the Belgian ones use real cream, white choc. and liqueurs for the filling.
The shops are amazing places. They are like a cafeteria, and you wander round pointing at chocs, while an attendant keeps putting them in a box for you ...... (cash only, though ... don't know why)

Oh, it's a good job they ~don't~ take plastic! I'd spend a fortune I haven't got there! Hehehe
Now then, back to ferrero rocher....
They are filled with praline, but they have a nutty coating, but crunchy rather than a nutty taste, then they are covered in chocolate...
They are just big enough to get a whole one in your mouth in one go...
I've never bitten one in half, I always have to put the whole one in!

Hmmm ... I tend to be a "nibble round the edges and savour the flavour" person when it comes to luxury chocs and the like. .... Prefer to make it last a while ...

I feel a song coming on ...... *Clears throat*
Praline in love again,
What am I to do?
Never wanted to...
I can't help it.

Do you now?
Hmmmmmmm
I'll remember that, hehehe
I'm lucky if a box of ferrero rocher last me one sitting.
Or more than one sitting.
Well, sometimes I eat them standing up, or in bed.
That's if I've got nothing better to do, of course!

You mean there's eomthing better to do while standing up than eating chocolate?

There's a lot worse things...

I'm glad I'm not at school anymore!
I used to hate exams...
Have somehon.

You're probably right, Clelba.
There should be a practical exam in chocolate ... think of all the revision you could do ....
Key: Complain about this post
