Title: Save the best bits for last?
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on January 12, 2006, 01:39:37 pm

In a selection box or an assorted box of chocolates we all have our favourites. But do you save the best for for last and eat the yucky ones first? Eat the best ones first and get rid of the yucky ones? Eat them evenly, alternate nice and yucky? What's your method??

I break them down into 3 sections. Favourites, nice ones and ones I don't like. I eat the nice one first, then my favourites and I give the ones I don't like away.

My boyfriend got me a box of old style QS last night

Christmas Day - Caramels and creams

Boxing Day - anything nutty or truffley

27th December - Nougat or Montelimar

28th December - Pick the chocolate off coconut and coffee creams out of desperation!

I eat all my fave ones first, nuts, caramel and strawberry cremes. Then I eat the orange cremes and anything else that i like. The ones I don't like, fudge, coffee, truffle things get left until I have no other chocolate available .

In my house, if you don't eat the creams quick everyone else will! i don't much care for the toffee/caramel ones and neither do the kids so it's all of us fighting for the strawberry/orange creams. Hubbie doesn't make a bee line for any of them himself but will eat anything offered to him.

I had a fight with my boss over the strawberry creams in our Xmas tin of Roses!

A fisty fight with bloody noses or a 'you can't have that cos i want it' fight?

The latter. As tempting as it was to hit her...

I am in the very lucky situation of David hating my favourites and me hating his favourites. This means I can quite happily eat all the coconut and fudge ones and he can have all the nut ones. We share the soft centres and toffees

i save the one with praline for the last, but if there is no pralines, then the  one having nuts is the last to go

But do you save them for last because they are your favourites or not?
