We could do a deal – these are some of my favourite things! I love dark chocolate, oranges, mushrooms and blue cheese and also live in the UK.
Orange flavour, mint, ginger or marzipan chocolate are my favourites; toffee, caramel and hazelnut, and white chocolate, least favourites. Though if anyone is feeling kind and generous enough to send me anything, whatever's sent will be gratefully received.
Thank-you to ecumaniac for organizing this!

Would anyone like some yummy Chile Chocolate from Santa Fe?
Just PM me.
(I prefer Green and Black's Maya Gold chocolate if anyone would like to send to a hungry Motherboard) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

We are indeed taste opposites!!! I love white chocolate, toffee, caramel and hazelnut as well as mint, ginger and marzipan!!!

All of the above except the marzipan, but Ariel's least favorites are my most favorites. Haven't had candied ginger in a while, though...

I'm going to have to go find mushroom blue cheese chocolate. surely someone's done it.
You still qualify as a recipient, too, remember.
And every time I see that post, I crave blue cheese-- sorry, Tubbs.

This Aussie host would like to set an interesting and shocking challenge by saying... something other than chocolate please.
Not because I have anything particularly against chocolate (I got some very nice ones last year), but because I think it would be cool to see what else might be thought of. Other foodstuffs are welcome (I don't have any allergies and a pretty flexible palate), as are non-food items.

This morning I received a little packet with two delicious bars of dark chocolate – a particular thanks for the ginger and orange, I hadn't realized you could get both flavours in one bar. This really is the best of both worlds! Thank you also for the lovely little book – I've no idea where you found that, but it's most appropriate! I'm delighted to have something almost a century old, and am enjoying dipping into it.
I've put the Hobbit postcard up on my wall, and shall think kindly of Earwigs from now on. Thank you again for your kind thoughtfulness, and for brightening up my Monday morning.

I'm happy to report the arrival of delicious chocolate treats from Oscar the Grouch -- two days from sending to arriving rather more than half-way across the country is a lot more than I expected.
Many thanks,

Marvin,
Your chocolate will be on its way soon. No nuts. At the moment, no chocolate either. But that will change.
And I'll save the nuts for the boards where it belongs.
