My mom, Madi and I went to a little store that makes goat cheese. My mom has been there before and she likes the cheese a lot. Madi and I tasted some of the cheese selections. I have to say that I am not a fan. Madi liked one of the cheeses but honestly they just tasted "goaty" to me. I couldn't find an enjoyable taste to them.
Mom and Madi each bought a chocolate candy they were selling. They were made with dark chocolate and looked so good! Mom got a cherry chocolate drop and Madi got a vanilla chocolate drop. When we got to the car mom popped her chocolate in, chewed a bit and got the most horrible look on her face. She promptly opened her door and spit the chocolate out right there in the parking lot!!!! She said she either spit it out or something else would happen! She felt bad about it but it was nasty! Madi decided to try hers carefully. She took a small bite of it and got a horrible look on her face. She didn't want to swallow her bite either. I took a small bite of hers and it was AWFUL! Truly awful. I haven't tasted something so bad in a long time. My mom thought it couldn't have been as bad as the one she had so she took the remaining third of the chocolate. It exited her mouth also. Yuck was the defined word to describe that awful chocolate!
We discovered that just because they had fancy names and looked beautiful the insides were horrible and left a bad taste in your mouth. Life learning experience from some chocolate drops...
Oh my! I would have gone back inside to tell them how awful the candy was. If it is made locally, something may have gone wrong with the recipe or they are past an expiration. I would have told them, especially when two different kinds were equally disgusting to all three of you. Ick!!
ReplyDeleteApparently, this chocolate is made to enhance the flavor of wine or something like that. It's weird candy. It was also made with goats milk, it think...double yuck! It has made for a good story. You are right though, they should have told them how awful it was.
DeleteHa Ha! I have had the same thing happen in Switzerland! I bought some Turkish Delight after all it was in the Lion, Witch, and the wardrobe! Well, I spit mine in an empty can of beans and hide it in the trash! Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteHaHa! That is a good way to hide the evidence. I always have a hard time hiding things that I didn't care much for when we are out to dinner or something. I have learned to only take a small bit and go back for more if I really liked it. We had a dinner after church yesterday and my mom got some food she didn't care much for and since I was done eating she asked to have my plate to quickly cover the little bit that was left on her plate! :-) I have a family member who goes to Switzerland every year for work and she brings home some of the best chocolates! Never had a bad one from there yet!
DeleteSounds terrible. You'll have to tell me what it was so I can make sure to never get it. While it might make a great story ... I'm not that desperate right now. :)
