The are few people who dislike chocolate, there is something quite addictive about the taste, the texture, the way it just melts on the tongue. It is delicious and so versatile. There aren't many occasions that aren't improved by its presence. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, weddings, anniversaries, I could go on and on.
We never say no to a chocolate treat and this week we were challenged to identify our favourite chocolate treats in a blind tasting.
The team had carefully prepared a tray containing a huge variety of chocolate bars, all cut into uniform sized chunks, all we had to do was name the chocolate bar, sounds easy doesn't it.
We were all quite successful at completing out mission although we did go back for seconds and thirds just to confirm our answers. It was quite interesting to discover how taste is affected by our other senses. There were a couple that caused a bit of discussion and surprisingly they were chocolates that we were all extremely familiar with.
What a way to spend an afternoon, great company, beautiful surroundings and chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate.
