Words About Things

1. Giant Squid invade California. If you live in California be afraid, very afraid!

2. This kid has a very unfortunate name, no wonder he isn’t smiling.

3. Bad Brains – Banned in DC live at CBGB’s in 1982, Rastafarian hardcore punk at it’s best.

4. Serge Gainsbourg biopic soon to be released in the UK (we hope)

5. Bacon or Beer can? Hint: try with a Jamaican accent.

Whilst most of us like our chocolate plain or with nuts and fruit over the years it has been combined with a variety of ingredients. The Aztecs used to add chilli to enhance theirs and mint, orange and a range of liquors are also popular additions. Now the king of all foods, the vegetarian converting delight, bacon is available combined with chocolate.

Mo’s Bacon Bar which contains chunks of applewood smoked bacon combined with smoked salt and milk chocolate is proving to be very popular. The bar which costs £5.99 per 3oz at Selfridges sold out within 48 hours.

“There has been a real revolution in luxury chocolate, as there was with wine a few years ago. People are much more knowledgeable about it and there is a growing demand for these high quality, exotic products instead of a box of Milk Tray.”

Ewan Venters, food director of Selfridges.

The bar is available to buy online from Vosges Chocolate.
