to think high quality chocolate does not include green and blacks

[wilsonq2]

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?

OP, what sort of eggs did he bring?

Golden eggs, clearly.

What was the offer on vanilla pods?

Really?! Thats ALL you've taken from this thread?

I am not surprised that NM take the piss out of this place, it is well deserved. This thread is a whole new level of batshit!

Oh and chocolate torte is soooooo last decade, uber naff dahling! You might as well make a Birds trifle and have done with it.

I prefer G&B to Divine... it all comes down to personal taste more than anything surely?

Just like I prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate. Or anything else really...

If you are very particular about which brands you require, then shop yourself.

ScrambledSmegs - huge taste difference between Coke and Pepsi ime. I much prefer Coke.

I eat quality chocolate in copious amounts, and actually G & B 85 percent is one of my favourites.

I was suckered right in up until "scraping a bean". You're good, OP, but you overshot a little there.

Oh yes, world of difference between Pepsi and Coke - I did the challenge too, back in the 80s

Sadly I do prefer Coke.

Montezuma's on offer at Waitrose here. Your DH has seriously fucked up, will you ever forgive him?

Coke is fizzier, and has a sharp, acidic taste that hits you at the back of the throat.

Pepsi is a little flatter and a 'softer' taste.

Late to this glorious thread but , booja booja is the chocolate of choice in the waltons household - unless its a crap payday and then its ikea . Ikea dark choc is 50p a block and its fab for cooking .
But sadly the threads long since moved on from chocolate .
I spent 2yrs with no cocoa at all-dd wasn't allowed it due to allergies.
It was awful .

Vanilla pods on Amazon. I've bought 10 before for £4.50 (very good price) and they're good quality. So I bought 50 for £21.25.

Can't imagine buying more than 10 at a time for home baking use though.

Coke & Pepsi taste equally vile to me, I can't bear either. I thought they were identically disgusting, hence why I was impressed.

Wtf?!. I hope you melted some of this proletariat chocolate and rubbed his nose in it while shouting 'no!...no!...dirty!'.

The twunt won't learn otherwise.

I get the same vanilla pods, too, Scrambled. Nice big fat juicy ones.

Unfortunately, I tend to forget that I have them and find them rock hard and shrivelled, at the back of the cupboard.

And it's so much less faff to tip in a slug of extract.

Jesus. My dh would probably have bought ScotBloc.

I think green and blacks are owned by Nestlé which cancels them out as good quality for me.

They're owned by Cadbury, which are owned by Kraft.

Oh hell yes. I use extract far more than I use pods! But I have to use pods for some things as people expect to see the seeds.

I've tried that Vanilla bean paste from Nielsen-Massey recently but I'm not keen on the gel it's suspended in. It seems really gloopy.

Back in the 90s I once asked my DH to buy marscapone so I could make a Tiramisu. He came home with macaroni cheese - both tinned and boxed cos he wasn't sure which type I needed.......

Oh no my Lindt and Milka illusions are shattered

Please, don't tell me that Toblerone is a lie as well. They promised me it was made from triangular honey from triangular bees, and triangular almonds from triangular trees.

This site gets worse and worse for food snobbery, honestly. On what planet is G&B shit chocolate?

Yabvu, that's my most favourite chocolate ever. I use smartprice value for cooking and hide the evidence, no one cares.

"I'm going to ask DH if he fancies scraping my bean as a special treat.

I only usually allow him extract of bean"

your poor DH!

and why isn't the bold** thing working? I've had to resort to punctuation.
