patgundWhile wandering around UTC yesterday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ckgriffin and I found a new store, Chuao Chocolatier. And being comfirmed chocolate addicts, we had to check.
Now, their dark chocolate seashells were really very good, and they had a "Pyramid Cake" that looked very good.
But their dark chocolate bon-bons were.....well, umm......"interesting". And really didn't sound that good.
The "Zen" actually sounded good to me, (Green tea infused ginger ganache). And the Gran Cacao (Bittersweet Ganache with 73% cocoa) sounds really good. But I can't say the same about the "Modena", (Strawberry caramel with balsamic vinegar from Modena.) And neither of us found the "Chevere" interesting (Goat cheese, Williams Pear, and crushed black pepper butter cream). I can see some of my friends liking the "Picante" (California Raisin fondue and Napa valley cabernet caramel, spiced with chili and cayenne pepper), but I can't say it appeals to me.

My parents are weird.
Date: 2004-09-13 10:28 pm (UTC)Mom and Lloyd are now making fine hand-made chocolates. In weird flavors, like basil, lavender, rosemary and tarragon. Lloyd says that the "discriminating palate" will appreciate the flavor. Me, I go for the nutty "Tango" and tell them to keep the weirder stuff far from me.
If you do order chocolates from Chocolate Vision, let them know that Shanna steered you there. It might get you a discount, or at least give me a pat on the head. :-P
