finally getting to the food

I've named this blog "Chocolate and Cheese," so I suppose I better get around to the chocolate and cheese part now.

I regret to tell you that, up until today, I had yet to try real Swiss chocolate. I do not regret to tell you that it was amazing. We tried two grocery store brands, as we still haven't gotten a chance to spend a large amount of time perusing a chocolate shop (it will happen, don't worry). We chose Lindt, the Swiss brand that's in every Safeway in America, and random unknown brand, Favarger. Of course, we got two entirely different types of chocolate (dark chocolate Favarger and milk chocolate truffle Lindt), so it wasn't exactly fair to do a comparison. However, although the Lindt truffles were melt in your mouth delicious, they didn't quite have the delicate, slightly nutty quality of the Favarger. Both, though, were incredible, and I don't have to be a chocolate expert to state that these definitely weren't Hershey's.
