Nom-tastic!
Dec. 23rd, 2009 10:38 amWhilst doing some Christmas shopping in Paul A Young Chocolates (whose MD is on ORG's Board of Directors, so I feel duty-bound to visit) I saw Christmas Pudding Brownie on offer. Now, I like Christmas pudding, and I like chocolate brownie, so I thought I'd give it a go.
I have just tried it, along with my morning coffee.
That was a mistake. No, not in the sense of anything unpleasant - far from it! Rather, eating it off a napkin along with a cup of Caffe Nero coffee was woefully inadequate to the experience. That brownie should have been eaten off one's best dessert plate, accompanied by fine cream or brandy butter (or both) and some organic berries, served with the sort of coffee that has been unusually intimate with a civet, ideally all conveyed to you as you recline decadently by the scantily-clad nubile/hunky Member of the Appropriate Sex of your choice.
It's that good.
Incredibly moist, rich, chocolately, fruity, spicy... Yes, it's probably got rather a lot of calories in it but I don't mind. There is an argument that if you are going to eat fattening food then it should be really, really nice; imagine a figure of merit of yumminess-per-kcal, and on any graph of foods this one is going to be scoring very highly indeed.
OK. I've calmed down a bit now. But they're getting my business again. I just hope this isn't purely a seasonal product!
