  1. I'm not sure where to put this, here or the children thread but I'll give it a go here. My cousin is getting married in Vancouver next year and wants us to come over. My youngest will be one - his second birthday would happened out there if we went and my eldest will be one month shy of his fourth birthday. It's at least a 9 hour flight. Is it worth flying that far with two toddlers? Or do I just say 'sorry we can't make it this year, maybe next year?'.

    Also anyone who has travelled with little kids, I'm guessing an Air BnB or something similar would be better than a hotel?

  2. They do, it's the kind if ice cream I would have made when I was 15 and couldn't make my mind up as to what should go in it. That said, I'll be tucking in to a small tub of Chocolate Fudge Brownie tonight. My new favourite is the Vermonster Sundae, that is diabetes in a tub and stupidly expensive but I pick it up whenever I see it on offer.

  3. See, I think Haagen Dasz is a more grown up, less sugary ice cream. It has its place as does Ben & Jerry's. Ben & Jerry's is like a meal, it's a heavy ice cream with lots in it, Haagen Dasz is a bit more refined and I only really have it as a dessert.

    My biggest criticism of Haagen Dasz is that they do some amazing flavours that are not widely available - the dark chocolate almond is really great but only available as mini in the chocolate collection (which has now been discontinued). 

  4. I know we only see a snippet of your life here @SuperBaconbut from what you share and the way you talk about your ex I think you guys are what young people refer to as 'goals' for a seperated couple. Its wonderful that you can still be friends and care for each other even though you are not together and the biggest winners in it all are your children. I hope today hasn't been too sad for you and it's just the beginning of your next chapter.

  5. They have a Chocolate Brownie version of that Tony's bar and I really want to try it. My usual supermarket is selling it for £3.30 at the moment so waiting for it to go on offer. Tony's pretzel one is really nice.

  6. I mean if she insists on eating that crap then I'd argue that is a necessity. Wind her up as much as possible until she relents and picks a better best chocolate

  7. I mean the kiddo is definitely wrong, its absolutley not Kit Kat. It's the shittest. I will put it down to lack of life experience and not yet having enough opportunity to try all the chocolate bars and also they will never have had those now deceased 90's chocolate bars. RIP Secret Bar

    I never fancy any of those wafer based Polski bars. Wafer based snacks just me remind me of my impoverished childhood.

     

    The only chocolates my mum would buy us as kids was Penguin Bars and Kit Kats, I still can't stand bloody Kit Kats.

    I do remember Riva bars @Carbomb, they were a feature in my late Junior school lunch box when my mum started branching out a bit more, they were great.

    It comes down to whether or not you like white chocolate or not, really. I have a ridiculous sweet tooth - chocolate, marzipan, baklava, barfi, ras malai, all these are like crack to me - so I like them, but, in fairness, it feels like the crispy bits also tone down the sweetness a little, so it does feel a bit more balanced. Your mileage may vary.

    Edit: I'm not too sure what's happened here, I seem to have double posted but the quite was in my original post and is now gone

  10. I do have a pretty sweet tooth but I struggle a bit with white chocolate. I only really like Green & Blacks white chocolate, all the others are a little too sweet for me. I love stuff like baklava but can only have it in small amounts or large amounts with a cup of tea. Barfi I draw the line at, it's far too sweet but ras malai is fine because its tempered by the milk.

  11. Mr Deathrey bought a multi pack of Lion Bars when he was in the shops the other day. I haven't had one in well over 20 years I think but God damn they are great aren't they?! They have a perfect mix of everything, chocolate, crunchiness, chewiness. The caramel isn't overpowering and sickly sweet as it is in many other chocolate bars. I have eaten them all now and asked him to pick up another multi pack when he's out.

  12. On that note, I like pretty much every cover of a Depeche Mode song that I've ever heard but dont like any of the originals. I have found the same thing with most of The Smith's songs too, but that's ok because fuck Morrissey
