Choc-au-lait! Shock-lid!

The world can be all different depending on your viewpoint. Let’s focus on food. When you go to Switzerland, for example…potatoes, yes, since war times, but something else…cheese, better, and…of course! Swiss chocolate! Then take Belgium. Beer, then, lemme think, what do we know about Belgian cuisine? There’s gotta be some mussels, then they certainly have some beef specialties, fried stuff, waffles..and pralines! When you move to Italy, you’d say pizza, pasta, seafood, then sweets, like cannolli from Sicily or sfogliatelle from Naples or the renouned tiramisu. You wouldn’t say chocolate. Or at least I wouldn’t. But behold!

This weekend we had a festa del cioccolato in Ravenna! Yes, indeed… the main square was full of stalls with various mostly chocolate-based delicacies.

I’m not a chocolate person…I mean I like it but don’t need it in large quantities or every other day…but this was something. And not just chocolate, simply sweet :)
