It Must Be Mine!

Now I'm certain that my adoring fans (all four of you?) have been wondering what could possibly wake me from my torpor and encourage me to blog more. 'Would it be monkeys?' you asked each other. 'Could he be preparing an essay explaining how to fight a time war?'


No. It is this and this alone that demands my, and now your, attention:

There is, I believe, more product at this site and now my life is very nearly complete. For, when I return from India and arrive in blessed America again, will I seek out a burger, decent scotch or a clean bog?
No friends, I will seek out the bacon chocolate bar.
And I will follow their carefully constructed instructions when I do so:
See... first, there should be a glossy shine to the chocolate bar, this shows a good temper; rather, a tight bond between the cocoa butter and the cocoa mass.
Smell... rub your thumb on the chocolate to help release the aromas. Inhale the chocolate and ingredient notes deeply through your nose. Can you feel it?
Snap... quality chocolate should always be dry to the touch. Break the bar into two pieces.
Hear a crisp, ringing snap, which indicates a well-tempered bar of chocolate.
Taste... place the chocolate on your tongue and press it to the roof of your mouth. Within thirty seconds, the chocolate should slowly begin to melt around your tongue. The taste should not be evanescent; it should have a long, lingering finish.
Feel... recognize the life in your body as you… benefit from the anti-oxidants in chocolate, ride the natural high of chillies, boost your immune system with some of the natural ingredients.
Each bar brings its own sensations and benefits. Notice how spicy bars don’t hit you until after you have swallowed.

Prize for the first relevant Monty Python joke! That is to say make the joke I was going to make if I didn't grow sick of Python jokes from D&D nerds during the 80s!
