I am pretentious. I want to like the sorts of comestibles that a Guardian-reading, university-educated, middle-class liberal twerp ought to like, so I convince myself to go out and buy them. From fairtrade fusilli to organic aubergines to free-range vodka, I snap pricy products up readily.
When it comes to chocolate though, I've been fooling myself. As pleasant-tasting as Lindt Fleur de Sel or Green & Black's Maya Gold* might be, the only chocolate bar I really, genuinely, honestly, love is this one:
I realize that, living in the home town of Rowntree's and Terry's, I shouldn't be supporting their Brummie rivals. I don't care.

Now, Mr Cadbury's Parrot, where is that lifetime's supply of sugary cocoa goodness you promised me?
*Do be careful when Google Image searching for this name, though, as Maya Gold is also the pseudonym of a Hungarian porn star.
