The Meaning of Life

Well these days, the point of life is to eat really high quality chocolate.

A friend called me the other day and described every bite of some chocolate concoction at "The Chocolate Bar" at Harrods.

We're very well served in Kensington with a Leonidas in the tube arcade, a brand new "Hotel Chocolat" down the high street, Patisserie Valerie with the 3 foot chocolate eggs in the window and my favourite chocolate shop, in Lancer's Square - I don't know the name of it but it's something like Alfred Mercano - I'll take a photo and put it up later this afternoon.

The chocolate there is stupendous, 95% cocoa (just slight exaggeration), £10 for 100 grams (only a bit more exaggeration) and worth every penny.

Here's a fun article about chocolate from the Times today.

See! I don't just rant and rave! Have a great weekend.
