To think that pumpkin seeds have no place in a chocolate torte?

Sainsburys. (Online order, so hadn't read the box). Chocolate torte slices, with a base made of dates, pumpkin seeds and coconut.

Surely no one buys chocolate torte expecting pumpkin seeds and dates? I don't want Healthy options in my chocolate torte.

Don't come to Australia. Bloody everything's got seeds in it here! Drives me mad! Chia seeds make drinks look like frogspawn but they still advertise the concoctions like they're manna!

The dates are for moistness & gooeyness, so forgiveable. Coconut & seeds is sacrilege tho!! I used to work for someone Austrian who made us her 'proper' chocolate torte...from an ancient recipe handed down from her family of patisserie owners. It was sublime:& no sign of those weird seeds etc. I wish I'd got the recipe.

Would love it. I guess I’m weird

It was ok, just not what I wanted from a chocolate torte!
