Hi Cherry Actually yes... Had triple shot latte, actually very nice. But Paris has so many cafe the choice is so wide. The fresh baked pastries were great, as I got to Gare Du Nord at 9am, only the early bakeries were open. Bought pastries with my wife and made our way along the Parisien streets. Love it... 😉 OE OE

Hi AM Yes the Aztec's and I believe the Mayans were having a quality time with Cocoa ;D ;D I have not tried the chilli chocolate while in Sicily, but will look into it next time I am there, I have seen chilli chocolate here in the UK but I don't think it will be the same. The Gelato and Granita are very good there though 😃 ====== Life in London has been very busy over the last few months, but I will keep my post cards being delivered to Crema Magazine. As you all know I have changed Jobs and now I am supporting over 200 caf

Hey mate - thanks for this; these are brilliant... I still like the original one best, but they are both pretty funny; the squirrel voice in the second one takes a bit of studying but is pretty funny once you get it!

yes, first discovered the Chilli Chocolate thing when doing research into the origins of chocolate for a Crema feature back in 2006 certainly was a revelation to me, but must admit, I'm hooked! A

actually meant that I have now 'discovered' it as a taste option, whereas I would never have thought of it before... means I try it whenever it's on offer [including buying Lindt chilli chocolate at supermarket]. A 🙂
