I know that we all love chocolate and of course, ice cream. I can recall a famous quote by Voltaire at this point of time.'Ice Cream is exquisite', he said, 'Pity that it is not illegal'. I was trying to search if there is anything I love whose very sight would make me happy. Ice Cream- Yes Sir! With hot molten chocolate gently poured on it. Some nuts here and there lying, waiting to be noticed. Add some fudge on it please. Yes, chocolate chips will do. Hah, :{) I always try to remind everybody to eat it slowly, feel the contours of the chocolate syrup, the tasteful thickness of it :) And I always finished the chocolate that others had left...I want to try to find out the things that I love at this ebb of my life. I have lived in Ranchi, Kanpur and Bangalore for sometime; so here is my list of delights - choco or ice cream or both.
1. Cadbury's Eclairs, the first time I experienced caramel and knew it since they presented 'Caramel inside' quite loudly in the wrappers and TV commercials
2. Parle Melody chocolate: khud jaan jao
3. Cadbury's Dairy Milk - possibly India's favourite chocolate
4. Nestle Munch: halke fulke, crispy frisky
5. Munnar (Kerala) home-made chocolate. Went there. Ate that. Senses burst to life as soon as you eat these. An endorphin rush occurs which is generally reserved for unmatched experiences.
6. Some French chocolate with champagne inside :P My friend Himanshu Jain brought them from, well of course France.
not these, but something like it
7. Vicky bhaiya brought those Canadian chocolates (dont know their name) which are wrapped inside an egg shell and have a nice DIY toy inside. They have thin membrane of chocolate wrapping up a creamy inside.
8. Subhash mama had brought some Butterfingers from Amrika, which I was proud to show to my friends in the school bus. It was a moment of sheer pleasure watching those large eyes focus on a completely exotic chocolate wrapper that was there. It did not like that chocolate that much though.
9. Ferrero Rocher was considered a luxury item, somatosensory-pleasing texture
10. Arabian chocolates- haven't tasted their classy ones. The ones that they sell at rates like 10 rupees are not thaaat good.
11. Well there is this story when we went to the luxury mall in UB City. We saw Louis Vuitton stores with high heels priced at the GDP of three of us who were walking with an attitude. Then we went to this open air restaurant mainly because they had some really comfortable sofas. Actually we did not know it was a restaurant. Then a waiter arrives with an aplomb matched only by us. We order the cheapest items in the menu- Chocolate Tinglers, forty rupees, but alright. We could eat a day's meal from that but we order something like a Chocolate with Rum inside, with an aplomb matched only by the waiter who took the order and turned about right away. Now we painted, through a figment of imagination, that the waiter would come back with aplomb and with chocolate with rum and he would garnish it with sweet delectables. He did come up alright, with huge plate and a droplet of chocolate in the middle. Our hearts sunk and we knew we had to leave when the waiter asked us, 'Anything else, sir?'
12.Amul Feast -A nutty chocolate layer which guards a layer of vanilla cream, which in turn guards, a hard chocolate layer stuck to the stick. And as you go in from the outside layer, you uncover the secrets of AMUL. FEAST .ICE CREAM. This was the moment in history when my love for any combo of milk and chocolate began.
13. Amul Chocobar - this horrible stick-thin cousin that most of us eat due to lack of options or knowledge. I know if you have ever had Amul Feast, you would not make love to any of its cousin at first sight. I find it a class below Feast but since it is chocolate and icecream, I eat it.
14. There is Amul Sundaes with chocolate layers of course- my college mates loved it the last day we were all there together. And we went back to the shop and had lots and lots more. No wonder the shopkeeper was delighted. I think I can make anyone happy with Amul Chocolate Ice-Creams.
15. We move on to a chocolate ice cream whose name I don't know. But it is probably one of the best I ever had. Now vanilla with ice cream syrup poured through it. Choco chips- yes, there! And the surprise, when you dig deep and go to the botto, of the case, you find a centimetre thick layer of delightful, devourable molten chocolate delight. Drilliant.
16. There is so much more..maybe I will write later!!!
