Food Abominations

Some fruit and chocolate is ok but a lot of its a miss for me.
One of my least favourite combos is fruit and chocolate in the form of fresh strawberries ruined by the flavour of claggy chocolate, although I accept that‘s not the same thing as a chocolate bar and I do like dark orange chocolate.
 
I´ve got a good friend in Caracas who is an excellent chocolatier. He makes his chocolates with salted caramel, sea salt, chile peppers, macadamia nuts, confit lemon peel, tonka beans, black pepper, "waffle spice" , lemongrass, to mention but a few.
I always used to like Cadbury´s Fruit and Nutcase, till that idiot company took over and nuked the chocolate with excessive sugar.
 
My absolute favorite chocolate is strawberry fudge covered with milk chocolate. I found that in the UK. I realised however that I can make that myself by now as I am quite good at making fudge, so I will attempt that soon!
Sadly for me, nobody here likes fruity flavors and chocolate and even specialty stores or pattiseries don't sell any fruity chocolate. It's always caramel, nut flavors and coffee flavors. Unfortunate for me.
 
We love these

They have the most wonderful fruit flavour to them. The company uses decent raspberries and strawberries, not the cheapest can't sell stuff.

Mind you we love most dried fruit (Bananas excepted). I'm not that keen on raisins, currants or sultanas but that's just me. We do keep 1 packet in of sultanas for occasional in curries or similar dishes. The chooks usually end up getting the remains for the packet because they'll start to disintegrate after a few years in an airtight jar. We have a lot of dried fruit (and fresh) in our pantry, from dried apricots, dates, prunes, barberries :whistling: , home grown apple, pear and plum slices (apricot as well in the years it actually fruits), gogi berries and so on.

Chocolate is the best dried fruit ever LOLOLOLOL.

No I would eat those. I love raspberries. I can't say I have ever eaten dried raspberries or strawberries before but I would eat them in chocolate.

Given that you and your hub were cyclists, I get the dried fruit/trail mix thing. It's kinda a "go-to" for bikers and hikers, yes?
