Used to like a Bournville Burnt Almond bar, but they discontinued that decades ago. So did I! But I moved on to 70% cocoa solids some time ago. I love cream, just not trapped in a block with chocolate. Soufflés are a different matter. (I hear that Thorntons have issued a profit warning because the hot weather has put people off buying chocolate - proper chocolate that is, because the ersatz stuff is held together with palm oil and other unspeakable gunge which gives it a higher melting point.)

Yes, I heard that yesterday, Jean.
I always buy a good quality chocolate to cook with. I've tried economising but you really can taste the difference.

Cream is my one weakness Apart from innumeracy. You'd like Holland. They dump great clots of cream in and/or on anything at the drop of a churn. Usually whipped cream (slagroom).

BTW, I DO like Holland. I've been there twice and was pleasantly surprised.
I like being pleasantly surprised.

Another hint: A daily blast in the microwave of your dishcloth (with a little water added) sterilises it. Or you could just use a fresh J-cloth, of course, if you're minted. Oh, I never thought of that.....if I do the dishcloth in the microwave instead of boiling it up in the enamel pan, it will stop the socks and hankies smelling so much of cabbage.
