- Most memorable chocolate experience:
- As a teen, we were dining with our folks at the Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan. I ordered a chocolate mousse-type dessert - can't remember what it was called - but I'll tell you what, I haven't tasted anything as sensational as that, since. It has shaped the way I experience chocolate to this day - prior to that , it was all about Easter bunnies and Hershey's Kisses. But since then, nothing but fine chocolate will do - although I occassionally indulge in a Snickers or an Andes wafer.
- My favorite chocolate is:
- Still searching the planet for the world's best...

What is the status of your CLTC? I think it's a great idea.
I like the idea of 'working' vacations, where we can be active participants in the process. I wouldn't mind planting cocoa plants, harvesting cocoa beans or learning how to dry them. I'll take my wages in cocoa beans!
I have a friend at work who will be 'retiring' to run a B&B in Costa Rica at the end of this month. Having a 'working plantation' where guests can actually learn the process of producing such lovely products via a 'hands-on' method sounds like a 'win-win' situation. Perhaps such a B&B can be developed in many countries to promote sharing and assisting the cocoa industry.

We should have the Nashville info out by the end of the week or sooner.

- Please please add photos of the Belize and Europe trips when you all return, would really love to see them!
I have decided this year I will spend my reduced budget on the NYC Choc show (and a Broadway show) and next year me n my mom are doing a Quebec choc tour...its closer and more affordable than Europe but willl still have the french and european feel i hope...I found a choc Festival and Museum in Bromont, QC- should be fun!

Bob Jemian said… - You know, I think I have but dismissed it. I'd have to say that the Swiss ones were not as sweet as what I buy in the grocery stores here. Perhaps that is why the local Lindt products are not as high on my list. The extra sweetness is just a bit too much for me.
