Spoiled for Choice

My daughter has foolishly left me alone in the house with her box of Cadbury Favourites. Now generally, I would be happy to eat each and every one of these delicious morsels. The trouble is, when faced with a choice it all becomes too hard. Crunchies are too light, Boosts are hearty, Caramellos are divine but a tad small, plain Dairy Milk is too moreish, and the Moro – well, I’m not even sure what that is. I’d eat the lot, but I have a sneaking suspicion she’d notice. In fact, I’m not sure that she hasn’t counted them. Besides what I really feel like is a Chomp. There’s something about the way they feel when you bite them – the wafer crunches and the caramel is just that little bit chewy and the chocolate is light and creamy. Dammit. I’ll just have my bowl of pears and be done with it. 

 

What’s your favourite chocolate bar?

Stop looking at me like that!

I am most definitely not a vegetarian, but I will admit that I do find it a little difficult to eat food that is watching me – fish cooked with the heads attached for example. As an aside, I have never been able to tackle a plate of baby octopus either. I keep having images of a poor mother octopus swimming about somewhere saying “where are my babies?”

Given my anti-here’s-lookin’-at-you-kid attitude to food, you can no doubt understand my dismay when I peered into the saucepan where I was planning to boil some eggs last night to see this:
