Confessions of a Choco-phobe

A choco-what?  

You’ve heard of a chocoholic, right? Someone who loves chocolate. So, the converse would be a Choco-phobe. Someone who doesn’t like chocolate.

I’m Paris Beaverbanks, and I’m a choco-phobe. I don’t generally like chocolate. Even if I do eat chocolate, I am of the 70% dark chocolate variety. The darker and more bitter, the better. The more expensive also the better, of course!

I can get by without eating chocolate, even if was waved under my nose. Ah, but this choco-phobe has one weakness - Terry’s Chocolate Orange!

Knowing I don’t eat chocolate, I was put to the test when I had this orange flavoured milk chocolate waved under my nose. *whimper* Damn! How did they know this was my weak spot?! This chocolate infused with orange oil, and packaged to resemble an orange, down to its segments reminds me of England for I have not found this in Malaysia ever since I got back. Damn!

The chocolate comes in the shape of a ball, and you whack it on the table to break up the segments. The chocolate orange smell is enough to make your mouth water, as you pick up a segment to savour it.

Still, choco-phobe and all, 1 segment is about all I can handle in one sitting. Now I know what to ask for the next time anyone goes to the UK ;)

    I can’t believe that you’ll actually stoop to cajoling yourself to come to my place just to have CHOCOLATE. LOL!!! I’ve asked Top Monkey to put in an order with some friends who are headed back to UK this weekend, so you can come anytime you want and have more than one slice.
