Pipes brought me a very special treat... Russian chocolate.
Italicizing it doesn't do it justice. There needs to be a way to denote, using text alone, that this is a sensual experience, not to be missed. It was made foamy, like mousse, before it was solidified. This gives it a unique texture. The flavor-- It is more rich. It's still milk chocolate, but it's not loaded with sugar as filler, like with a Hershey bar. (This is the reason I prefer only dark chocolate from Hershey's) It's delicious.
It reminds me of my impressions of Russian culture, too, in the limited exposures I've had. Not so oversweetened as we tend to see here in the USA. Even, some bitterness in the mix. But so complex, you may have a hard time sorting out what's what, so you sometimes have to take it as it is, without too much analysis.
Thank you Pipes, for a new experience.
Oddly enough, it has the Kraft Foods seal on it, and the
kraftfoods.ru URL stamped at the bottom. I suppose American companies have gotten involved with a lot of things over there. So why the heck isn't Kraft marketing this stuff over here?
