Chocolate is by and large a bad thing for me. I seem to be able to consume it in vast quantities. Last year I stopped eating it for a while and lost 50 lbs-though to be fair weightwatchers helped. Trouble is I love chocolate in all its shapes and forms- from Cadbury’s through to Lindt.

Onm holiday recently in Keswick, I discovered 99% pure Chocolate. The normal Lindt dark chocolate is 70% and 85%. But 99%? Madness! Folly! And yet there it was as you can see. The packet had a warning that only experienced choclate lovers should try it. I laughed with disdain and tried a piece. Yeeeeuch! Well not immediately but within a few seconds. Not a terribly nasty taste, not that bitter either but almost pure cocoa butter. It was a plant type taste.

Ah well, back to 70%/85%.

The 99% didn’t scan in too well compared to the 85%- Shiny lettering but it is real not photoshopped.
