Default Chocolate orange.

Gentlemen and Allison,
Today, I rather foolishly consumed, through a combination of stupidity and sheer greed, a whole and complete Terry's chocolate orange, perhaps unsurprisingly, I now feel rather unwell, has anybody else done that or is it just me?

I should add, it was a milk chocolate example and not the rather scarcer dark chocolate example!

Mine was a Giant Toblerone

Unlike you though Frank I had a queue of smiling faces to help me dispose of most of it and the two chunks that I enjoyed were just enough, well nearly enough

Regards

One of your five a day, in my opinion. It might even count as two as chocolate comes from a plant.

You're not alone Frank,

Friday night neither my wife or I wanted to cook, so she popped out and as a treat brought home a pizza 'and' a tiramisu for me, after the pizza I ate all the tiramisu too!

Quite uncomfortable for some hours...

I keep telling myself that I should know better at my age.

Cheerio, Roy.

Been there, done that a few too many times, not just with chocolate. Never learn. Probably carry on repeating it.

Oh dear Frank, in future I can highly recommend Montezuma's Dark Choc with Orange and Geranium, just a couple of squares is enough to give you a delicate orange flavour and intense chocolate hit, so no need to over do it. I hope your feeling less sick now
I must admit the only thing I tend to over indulge in is militaria, books, clothes and shoes which is of course far more expensive and space consuming. But more fun. (completely ignoring cocktails, Champagne and Prosecco as I never overdo that )

Tiger is my favourite beer, other way round I believe, beer is named after the regimental tiger as is the rugby club.

Gentlemen,
All very reassuring, at least I appear not to be the only one who indulges in an act of complete and utter greed, although, that can be absolutely no excuse whatsoever to have done so in the first place.

Cool Chocolate and beer

Frank,

I love both . . !

This is not a dress rehearsal, indulge and repent at leisure.

I'm almost fifty years old. My father still gives me a Terry's Chocolate Orange every Christmas because it's a family tradition from when I was little.
Whenever I see them, I think of my dad.
