The Chocolate Festival

The deal was you bought tickets (15 for $20) and you got to trade each ticket for a sample from the stalls present. It was so crowded you couldn't pick the 100m queues from the crowd and you could hardly move. We had chocolate dipped strawberries, tira misu, chocolate liqueur (Sashi had to show her ID - hehe), gellato, chocolate truffles, and hot fudge sundaes.
I don't really like sweet things which is a huge problem when trying to eat anything in America. So I got really thirsty and a little sick but I suppose it was worth it for $10 and 1.5 hours of queing. Then I went into the shop and spent like $38US on chocolate that's not really that good.
Their 'normal' chocolate is pretty much like anything you can buy at home. Their expensively wrapped caramel-filled chocolate was almost exactly the same as a supermarket-bought bag of caramello koalas. Very unspectacular. I do feel sorry for them. Unfortunately products like Hersheys set the bar extremely low. Peter A says when he smells Hershey chocolate it smells like vomit and makes him want to do the same.
