- Most memorable chocolate experience:
- Growing up in a small town in India in 1960s, chocolate was a rare treat. When I was in high school, my sister became a teacher and everymonth on salary day, she would buy a Five Star Chocolate bar to be shared by all 6 of us. We used to wait for her on her salary day, so we can get our chocolate.
- My favorite chocolate is:
- Heath bar
