It is like... melted chocolate and warm cream. aka- heaven. you cannot drink large amounts of it because it is so rich. comparing it to hot chocolate mix is like comparing apples to oranges.

That alone could drive one into a depression-fueled chocolate eating frenzy.

Best Chocolates Evah! That picture of the pancakes is too much. Please take it away. ps. In the previous post last year, somebody mentioned Charbonnel and Walker in Bond St. They are indeed damn fine choccies. And it's only a short walk to Paxton and Whitfield for some cheese, Gerry's in Old Compton st for some booze, James Fox in St James for cigars, or even Locks for a hat. But while good, C&W are well and truly eclipsed by Paul Young. Now where can I get some quality Iberico ham in London? Selfridges is OK, but I'm not convinced by the carvers or how well they keep it.

The whole shop (more like a warehouse) smelled like chocolate for over a week since the sheets had to be slipsheeted and dried for much longer. It had an awesome affect... flipping through the book would waft chocolate scents up. I have no idea how much it cost though...
