Lindt has been holding out on me
While in Munich last weekend, I wandered in to a Karstadt department store and perused the chocolate section. It really wasn’t bad (and I say this as someone who lives in Switzerland). Of course a lot of it was Swiss chocolate, like the gigantic Lindt display which contained quite the array of dark chocolate flavors. There was my new favorite cherry & chili, plus several others I had never seen before. What’s up with that, Lindt? You think the Swiss are too good for lime & green peppercorn filled 70% cocoa chocolate? Well I’m not…
Lindt wasn’t the only brand sporting the creative flavors. Everyone seems to have thrown their hat into the spicy-chocolate ring now, and ginger was also a popular accompaniment for dark chocolate. Out of curiosity we picked out a wasabi & algae bar and a chili & highland whiskey bar. That’s right, I said wasabi & algae. We like to live on the edge like that.
Turns out that wasabi & algae don’t make for as fabulous a chocolate bar as one would expect, but the chili & highland whiskey one was pretty good. The lime & green peppercorn chocolate was surprisingly endearing. I might even need to go out and find a local source. Anyone seen it?
