Luxurious treat of utterly inedible?

[SnuggleBuggleBoo]

I'm just opening a box of chocolates I had for Christmas. I love chocolates, but looking at the flavours these sound a bit 'out there' (ie, gross!) Or am I just being a fussy-pants?

Walnut marzipan
Saffron fudge
Pistachio truffle
Rose fondant
Violet fondant
Cassis jelly
Earl Grey truffle

What do you think? Would you fall on these with delight or wave them away?

Whereas I really hate tea (to drink) but I love earl grey truffles!

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Are they milk or dark chocolate ? Think I would prefer the rose and violet ones in a dark chocolate .

None of those flavours appeal to me but I don’t like my chocolate fucked about with much so I don’t really go in for chocolates with centres. And I don’t eat nuts so I’d rule a few out anyway based on that.
Are Prestat seen as luxe sort of chocolate? I always see them in TK Maxx!

I know, right? It’s like all the individual words are fine, but put together in that order it just makes no sense 🧐

Anyway, I don’t think you’d like them op. I’ll just join the crowd of willing volunteers to take them away for you… as an act of public service of course.

Prestat are delicious chocolates. Send them here if you don't want them!

They’re classics OP, hardly out there.

Send them to me, they sound amazing and right up my street, but then I drink rose earl grey tea!

I think they sound lovely, not sure I'd ruin marzipan with a walnut though. The rose flavour will taste like Turkish delight, violet like parma violets both which I love.

Presat are a lovely expensive brand and the flavours sound sophisticated and delicious- clearly you have uncultured tastes and should stick to a box of Roses, leaving the good stuff for those more discerning!

Might be just me, but violet or Rose fondant sound horrible imo. Ditto saffron and earl gray. I know that rose and violet can be used for flavouring but they sound more like paint colours than chocolates to my ear.

I don't like jelly or blackcurrant so the Cassis Jelly would be a 'no' and while I like Earl Grey and I like truffle, I wouldn't put them together. The others sound quite nice, especially the walnut marzipan.

They sound vile.

They all sound delicious. Must keep a look out for those next time I want a treat.

@TheChosenTwo - where is your local TK Maxx?! (Asking for a friend…)

@ChilliBandit guildford! They’ve always got prestat in there! I always recognise the gaudy packaging 😂

Can I be your chief taster op?
I'll let you know their deliciousness on a scale of 1-10 😛

I’d scoff them regardless

They sound horrible. Give me a box of Milk Tray any time over poncy chocolates.

I'd eat them, or at least give them a try. I've not met many expensive choccies I didnt like.

The cassis jelly can get in the sea. Everything else sounds well worth a try.

@TheChosenTwo - oo I, I mean my friend, is close enough to have a nosey.

Violet and rose fondants have existed since the 18th century and even earlier.

I like Milk Tray (when I'm buying) but I wouldn't turn my nose up at those.

Doubt it’s just you in the whole world who doesn’t like the sound of them, some people will and some won’t. Rose and violet creams aren’t a new and unusual thing though, they’re fairly common chocolate flavours. I love rose creams.
