Running out of storage space for my expanding ECW collection, I bought two tin boxes of Belgian chocolate biscuits from M&S. It's amazing how quickly you can go off Belgian chocolate biscuits. But also exciting (sad life that I lead) when the boxes were empty and became available for my toys.   

Can you imagine having to live in a country filled with those  ;D

If you want rid of all the unhealthy chocolate, I'm sure your forum-mates can help out.
It's what friends do.

In hindsight, I should have brought along one of the tins for scoffing during our last game ....  #-o

p.s. I still like Belgian chocolates, Peter. If you need any help there .....
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Belgian chocolate would be the best in the world if it weren't for the French.

How all our 'tastes' are different. ;D ;D ;D
I don't tend to eat that much 'choccy'....But if I do, my personal taste tends towards over sugery (?) milk chocolate...Like Cadbury's.

'Posh' choccys....Like folk give as prezzies around Christmas.....To me, are YUK ! ;D ;D ;D

Your sense of taste changes with age.

As part of an exercise with staff, I do a blind taste test with different brands of chocolate. It's funny how some of the cheaper brands are quite popular UNTIL you reveal what they are.
