I had a massive craving yesterday. I realised that I'd not had any for over two weeks now - the void since Christmas had been filled with any amount of dried fruit, but dried fruit was no longer enough.
But what to do? Everywhere would be shut now. I tried not to think about it but the incessant pounding in my skull was saying "must....get....some....NOW!!!!".
Then, sweet baby Jeebus, I remembered that there WAS some - I rushed to where it was and gazed at it lovingly. Its glistening brown-ness, the texture, the SMELL - I inhaled deeply. It was as fabulous as I remembered. Then there was the taste - dear God - it was a heady rush to the senses and more, so much more than I could have imagined.
Dear reader - I was eating some plop.
Yes, that's right - plop, or rather 'Plopp', the actually really rather amusingly named Swedish caramel-filled chocolate bar that TLH had brought back the last time he'd been to Sweden. The chocolate craving got so bad last night that I ended up eating it - and now I wonder why it took me so long because I can quite categorically state:
That shit tastes GOOOOOOD!!
PS. As you can guess, there is endless comedy potential with this (that is if you have the sense of humour of a three-year old, but then they're some of the funniest people on the planet so perhaps it's not such a bad thing). TLH came back from Sweden yesterday and greeted me with, "I've brought back a suitcase of Plopp for you!". My, how we sniggered.
Christmas through the times of my life

And Cloetta is so close to cloaca. Well, it would have to taste appallingly good to survive the unfortunate name.
