the wonky willie chocolate man - where can i buy his chocolate/cacao?

[ChestnutsRoastingonanOpenFlier]

Is on ch 4 just now and it has reminded me that I wanted to buy it to try.

I live in the same town as him so I can get it locally (I haven't yet). I think you can get it in Waitrose and Selfridges though.

not yet available in scotland, basically, then

Oh and it was going for lots of money on ebay after the first showing of his series!

I get it from Waitrose. And Ocado online. And Selfridges. Not sure where else has it.

I saw it in Waitrose today - it's about £7-8

what is it actually called? He just mentioned sainsburys on tv but can't see it online

Its called Venezualan Black. And it only costs £5.99, not £8.

This shows the range of them I think. This programme has reminded me I wanted to buy some too, it's about 6 quid a go though, and will probably have sold out from our health food shop now knowing my luck again!

yay! thank you very much!!! I found this when googling "venezualan black" stockists and there are actually 2 stockists in Inverness! Am in shock

I'm in shock that there are so many stockists too! He must be doing well then!

What do you all use it for? My friend had some last Christmas and used it for sprinkling on a mousse: I thought it was quite bitter tasting but maybe that's because it was just in its "raw" state.

It is pure cacoa so has no sugar in it at all! There are recipes on the website how to make truffles etc an the Channel 4 website for the series too.

He mjst have a website (in this day and age).

Funny man, funny family. Those kids are going to rebel and refuse to each any chocolate when they hit their teenage years. "No daddy, I am not eating that chocolate, I'm having a carrot so there!"

You can get it in Darts' Farm shop in Topsham. That may not be very helpful to anyone outside Devon though.

Am I the only one that found that show very fake-we had no snow in Devon last year and as for the heart in the snow-barf!!!!!!!!

I wanted to know that milamae as I live about 25-30 miles away from Tiverton and I don't recall having snow (ok,a slight smattering) for at least 3 yrs..

I was damn sure it was fake! poncey tw*ts!

Thank You!!!! I spent the whole hour irritating DH by pointing out all the fake bits. Many of the car shots were obviously done with a green screen. It drove me bananas!

We were yelling 'why do those trees have leaves?', 'why are the kids wearing winter clothes and he's in a t-shirt', 'where did all that snow come from???'.

and if that's how those 2 speak to each other in front of the camera (quite confrontational and argumentative I thought), it's bets on that one of them will be in the pit next year!

I live in Tiverton and we did not have any snow. Fact!!

yes ive seen it waitrose £6.99 per block

I've finally bought some today, the one with a citrus hint as they had that one or a fruity one left in the health food store. I looked online for some recipies and his website isn't up and running yet! Pah!

try the channel4 website, I think there were some recipes from the series on there.
I'm hopefully buying some tomorrow.

My DP pointed that out last night but thanks. I made a hot chocolate this afternoon (very adventurous start), you need a LOT of sugar I thought. My teeth hurt now!

i like watching this just to see if i know anyone! I lived in tiverton for 6 years up to 2003 and have family there still!
