April 19th, 2007[布鲁塞尔食色篇之二] 巧克力
比利时的巧克力总产量是世界排名第二,我刚来的时候就听人这样介绍来着,也不知道属不属实。不过刚来的时候,因为没时间煮吃的,就经常买一些巧克力随身带着,饿了就啃一口,倒也可以临时充饥一下。
关于巧克力我知道的并不多,很早以前就已经不太爱吃了,新年时朋友送的一盒,到现在也没吃完,就是太甜了,我还是比较喜欢黑巧克力。
看看这个姑娘,可能才二十来岁,不过你肯定知道她为什么减不了肥(这还不算太。。。的)
到过大广场的人大概都见过这个场景
这是Leonidas在市中心新装修好的店
这是它在MIDI车站的一个分店
有人告诉我,要买更好吃的巧克力,要到这里去,这里也是游人必经之地
有个朋友告诉,NEUHAUS是用来送给最亲的人的,其他的便宜一些的是送给朋友的
CORNE,这个牌子的不错
这个牌子我不熟,前面的亭子也是新立的

标题:当然没问题,不过是有条件的
上回是你说要写一些关于巧克力的故事吧,可是只写了Godiva的,我伸长脖子等了好久也没有下文了, 能不能再写一些啊,

我摘录几段:

There is no greater chocolate in the world (in my opinion) than Godiva Chocolates from Belgium.
North American chocolate gives me migraines, european does not.
We lived in germany for 6 years, my everyday favorite(inexpensive) was Milka and Lindt but for that chocolate heaven feeling it was definately Godiva.

I am a spa health writer from Santa Barbara. I review spa products for my \"Gotta Have it\" list and recently was approached by a young entrepreneur to sample her \"Where Health Meets Gourmet\" sugar free chocolates. The company, Sweet Love Life, www.sweetlovelife.com, makes an \"Ancient Wisdcom\" truffle made with cinnamon and cayenne for a sweet and spicy flavor. It is amazing!!!! This is a very small company in Santa Barbara just starting, but I know she will be deliciously successful when word gets around about these guiltless chocolates!

The best chocolate in the world, in my opinion,(and I make it my job to always search for the best chocolate wherever I go) is as follows:
1- Verbecke on Silverstradt in Bruges, Belgium
2- Friandises over the bridge from the City Center in Masstricht, Holland
3-Teuscher’’s champagne truffles–as the other commenter Karin pointed out, they are flown in weekly from Zurich–but did she also tell you that they are made with Dom Perignon! Teuscher’’s other truflles are no slouch either, and they are head and shoulders over Godiva, Neuhaus,Leonidas, Vosges, or the others mentioned. By the way, in Belgium, Godiva is just one of hundreds of brands of chocolates, and the version that they have there is very good, much better and different from what they sell in the U.S.Here, I believe that it was bought out by Campbell Soup!The quality is not the finest and they are not pure.
4-Bernard Callebaut- a relative of the famous Callebaut family from Belgium (the source of most, if not all fine Belgian chocolate) (one can get large bars of Callebaut at Williams-Sonoma) who came to the new world and opened chocolate shops. I first experienced this marvelous chocolate in Banff (where I had, in addition to his truffle creations, a hand made hazelnut ice cream dipped in chocolate and rolled in hazelnuts–to die for), then Calgary,and West Vancouver. One day, he opened up near me in Greenwich, CT, but now that store has closed and I don'’t know if he is still going strong elsewhere.
5- the handmade truffles served as a \"lagniappe\"(translation; freebie as a gesture of gratitude for your patronage) after dinner at The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York.
I have used Valrhona in baking, but I like Caleebaut much better. The former has a funny winey quality that I don'’t enjoy. The Domaine Carneros chocolates are ok, and I had wine filled chocolates at Fairview Winery (the one with the Goats de Roam wine–not a great wine) near Capetown, South Africa, but none of these compare, again in my opinion, with numbers 1-5 above.
