For Chocoholics in Paris

Just came across this while searching www.whatsonwhen.com. What a great idea - a chocolate dégustation!

Oh Lordy! As I sit here munching on chocolate chips ( that is all there is in the house!) I imagine how happy I would be to try this!
Thank you St Cirq~

Mare, I picture myself, very serious looking with lab coat and glasses, testing vials of chocolate. Grading them ... classifying them...I think I might have found a new career

ar ar ar And, of course, Scarlett, I shall be your lab assistant!C I foresee much discussion (er, digression?) where we will say "this one is the best", "no, this one!", "wait, let me try that again ~ you're right, it IS wonderful", "but let's try that other one again", "mmmmmm, chocolate". The chocolate testing and tasting would be endless!!

Trust the French to make a science out of chocolat!!



Actually, that would be in the 13th. But StCiq, one could easily envision doing THIS one day in Paris and doing La Maison du Chocolat another!!

Heck, Beatchick, I could easily imagine doing them BOTH in the same day.......followed by a more traditional dégustation, no?
