The only place my wife and I liked more than Godiva was the
Chocolate Swan in Las Vegas (in Mandaly Place between Mandalay
Bay and the Luxor). That stuff was in-freakin-credible. And they made
the chocolate right there in the store, everyday.
Although I really liked a local chocolate shop that double-dipped their truffles in contrasting chocolate shells. 1 layer milk, another dark or white. Then some idiot chain took them over and dropped those for stupid stuff.
Good grief, did you cleanse your pallet beforehand?
I can tell the difference between Ghirardelli and Nestle chips in a blind
test, and I definately can taste a difference between Godiva and Nestle!
Incidentally, the bestest chocolate I ever had was some candies my
father brought back from Finland.
Some people donât have as sensitive taste as others. I canât tell the difference between two kinds of coffee, usually, for instance, while my mother can.
The pictures on the site look really cool. I just wonder how they would taste. I can tell the differences on pretty much any thing Godiva and Nestleâs I could not imagine them being even remotly similar.
Oy, itâs cheaper to get them in the fall: they donât have to use âSummer Shippingâ, which is an extra $7!
Luckily, the birthday in question is in Nov.
Of course, with minty fresh Listerine. Actually due to limited amounts of the varieties I had to do them one at a time. So it wasnât a very scientific comparison. But I do know that for $2.75 I can get a whole bag of chocolate chips instead of a 1.3 oz Godiva bar. Maybe my taste is influenced by $$$$$.
For $200, I can get a decent bottle of Dom Perignon, whereas I can get about 16 boxes of âwine in the boxâ at Walmart for the same price which is about the equivalent volume as 64 bottles of Dom.
Somehow, Iâm not getting the urge to start drinking wine-in-the-box on special occasions
On the other hand, different people do have different tastes, and just because something costs more doesnât necessarily mean itâs going to taste better to you (the same can be said for whistles, incidentally)
