[Lee]:
Well, you ain't experienced anything until you've tried Mexican chocolate.
I'm not sure of the make, but it's heavy, very granular, almost as though
there were undissolved cocoa or sugar in it.  It is the strangest texture
I've ever had.  It was also a most interesting taste and I'm diddled if I
can come up with a proper description.  (Of course, it was in 1987 when I
ate the stuff, so trying to recreate that taste memory is rough.)  In a
word, though, I would say it might have been made by an amateur.  :-)

[Montims]:
| To branch out, it is like trying to explain Cathedral City to 
| someone who
| has only eaten American cheddar - impossible in so many ways 
| - and if you DO
| manage to smuggle some over, and share some of your precious 
| stash, to see
| it spat out in disgust is very galling...

[Lee]:
I can relate. :-)  Rest assured that this little mouth would appreciate it
very much. :-)

What I want..what I would love is a wheel of real English Stilton.  It's
hard to find here locally, and it's very expensive when I can find it, so I
classify it as a rare treat.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
