Would you like a little piece of bread and butter?

A fragrant and characterful dark milk made in Vietnam with beans from that lovely nation. ⁦MAROU CHOCOLATE⁩ bravo

My college! (But not my punt)

A smashing slab of Sierra Leonean goodness

Unusual and delicious, this powerfully attractive dark milk bar from Feitoria Cacao in Portugal is made with Tanzanian beans and sheep’s milk. Fab

Dad in the line-up here at 44 seconds or so, along with the dinosaurs, which is slightly rude

Today we have been enjoying this fine dark Vietnamese bar from the excellent Glasgow makers ⁦Bare Bones Chocolate⁩ - their choc skills and design ethic are marvellous

An exceptionally fine dark milk from ⁦Chocolarder⁩ who make beautiful chocolate in Falmouth in Cornwall - and now have a shop there so you can buy in person and compare tasting notes with the team

Made in Bali with Balinese beans so the proceeds stay close to the community. Tasty too

Front page puff, rightly, for ⁦Keith Miller⁩ on the King and architecture in ⁦The TLS⁩

My little brother back when he was a breakfast tv presenter on TVam. Joy

This may be the only single-origin bar that ⁦Hotel Chocolat⁩ do these days - such a shame when I think of the wide range they used to do. These days HC is owned by Mars… sigh. This is a delicious reminder of former glories

⁦London Victoria⁩ bollocks. One or the other of these two escalators has been broken for months every year for the past five years, leaving passengers - often elderly and/or with children and heavy baggage on a staircase. Meanwhile you spend millions on new ticket gates

Two Penny Farthings = tuppence ha’penny. Anyone old enough to understand what I’m on about?

I really love this 55% bar made with goat’s milk by Jordi’s of the Czech Republic. Rich chocolate flavour and a slightly salt tang. As you can tell from the annoyingly intrusive sticker, it’s from ⁦Cocoa Runners⁩

Thank you for posting this! It’s great to see how many people still remember dad’s delightful sideline

We are mad keen on the work of ⁦Bare Bones Chocolate⁩ from Glasgow. No fuss, no nonsense, elegant simplicity as in this perky coffee bar
