Making a torte tonight, just seen what dh bought last night. I asked him for eggs and high quality dark chocolate. He managed the eggs OK but came back with g nb 70%.

I know its not awful, but it really isn't high quality stuff. Not even fairtrade and made by the same people that brought you cheese in a can.

Aibu?

Koala - I don't know about where you are but our local Coles has had G&B chocolate on for half price this week - $1.99 instead of the usual $3.99! I admit I might have done a bit of a bulk-buy... Blush

Pepsi is nicer than Coke. True fact.

Thumbwitch Shock Ooh, cheers for that! I live in a stupidly expensive part of Perth (without the income to match), and it's $7-something in the shop near me!!

Will definitely be skittling down to Coles in the morn Grin

Aparently in blind taste tests pepsi wins.

Shockers · 13/11/2014 22:46

Did OP ever say what sort of eggs he bought...?

Catsize · 13/11/2014 23:01

This has to be a wind up. Can't believe there is anyone like the OP in real life. Shockers, I reckon the golden goose in aisle 7 laid them.
If this IS a real thread, I am surprised that the OP's husband didn't leave her and run off with the golden goose.

Lindt chocolate is not made in the uk. Made is Switzerland, France and Italy I believe.

haha I'd have used supermarket value. yabu

TurquoiseDress · 14/11/2014 07:36

YABU!

G&B is wonderful tasting, am sure they do an 85% bar.

Would the torte taste any better if it was fair trade/organic chocolate?!!

DamselNotInHerDress · 14/11/2014 09:00

Yab a joker.
And montezumas chocolate is absolutely horrible. So waxy and no flavour. It says a lot that I'd prefer no chocolate to montezumas.

It is a wind up. Op's local waitrose is indeed under a bridge & the op has been banned after starting threads far more inflammatory than this one.

Massively differing opinons here. I love Hotel Chocolat truffles etc, and there's people on here saying they're crap. One thing I do know is that I've never liked Cadbury's either before or after any buy out.

I'm going to do a taste test and decide for myself. I've never had Montezuma's before and if it's on offer in Waitrose, that's the perfect time to go and get some. I'll get some G&B too. There is an Aldi opposite, so I'll get some of their's at the same time. Weekend posh chocolate fest anyone?
