ferrero rocher is old and boring but i did love that fancy assortment box by ferrero that i guess can only be found in other places in europe apart from here cos i've never seen a single box in london stores. it contained two other types of chocolate apart from the hazelnutted bore, namely mon cheri, which was filled with liqueur and pocket coffee. Oh pocket coffee. I loved pocket coffee and miss it immensely from time to time, especially during late nights when i'm having my tea cos coffee would be too bitter and distract me from whatever piece of work it is that is keeping me up in the first place, and i need something a bit milder. and espresso encased within a piece of chocolate to neutralise the bitterness seems like the perfect little thing, perhaps created just to satiate the needs that are defined distinctly by those moments. they are amazing little creatures, those pocket coffees. i'm looking forward to stumbling upon them somewhere in london, sometime in the future. and when i'm rich and famous i wish to bathe in molten pocket coffee as an alternative to botox treatment. lol, just kidding.
i haven't tried any of those new ferreros nicely wrapped up in silver and brown instead of the traditional shiny golden foil. they're probs derivatives consisting of white choc/dark choc, or something along those lines, mere marketing schemes in order to step beyond the reputation of being monotonous that f.r. has so rightfully gained. although boring as hell, i must say they do look grand, a whole bunch of them, nicely wrapped up in their sophisticated style. the best layers are the 2nd and the 3rd, the biscuity one followed by the nice creamy bit. i absolutely detest hazelnuts, they shud be replaced with like, cashews, or something. lol. then we'd get boat-shaped chocs.
the layers, they have many a time reminded me of the geophysical structure of the earth consisting of four seperate layers. Come to think of it, the layers of f.r. very much resemble that of the earth. the crust is thin and .. uneven, followed by the mantle, which is ... okay fuck it, i learnt this shit roughly 10 years ago. oh, and the inner core of the earth is supposed to be molten and the outer core pretty solid, which i suppose was swapped around in ferreros. anyhoo. back to outer cores. yeah, so the outer core of f.r. is supposed to be molten. well, it doesn't actually appear to be molten as you make your way through the layers of the choc. but it melts in the mouth pretty smoothly. yumm. imagine replacing that with some nice and creamy original lindt. that would surely drive anyone crazy.
anyhoo, i've exhausted myself now. you can't really fulfill your chocoholic desires by brooding about chocolate.
btw, i disagree with people who think it's haraam to eat mon cheri.
