Hi All
I've been going to Italy for the last 10 years ever since i met my darling partner.
She comes from Turin.
Her mum sent me a bottle of chocolate liqueur one Xmas called Bicerin di Gianduiotto and I fell in love with it straight away.
It tastes like a liquid Ferrero Rocher mixed with 15% alcohol.
Delecious!
It's great on ice cream, with panettonne and with coffee.
My favorite combination however is when it's mixed with spirits either rum,whiskey or vodka, beautiful at the end of a lovely meal.
I love this drink so much that now i've started to import it to the UK.
I invite everyone to come and have a free taste test that we do in Borough Market at London Bridge, London, on the second Saturday of every month.
The next one is on the 10th of February, just before Valentine's Day.
Maybe you'll fall in love with it like i did.
We look forward to seeing you all.
See ya

Lou, Smurf and Spice
Thanks for the feedback.
I would like to give you all a personal taste test.
I thought that by sharing this information would enhance my venture and bring something new of interest to the chocolate table.
Instead i read scorn, ridicule and cynicism
No matter, maybe some who have viewed this post are pleased, positive and open to what my intensions are.
So really if you wish to taste test before pouring scorn let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Bicerin
PS. I had a picture of Victor Kiam on the wall in my bedroom when i was 2 years old!
Post by: smurfboy on February 10, 2006, 08:54:22 pm
Well that says it all...
If it's a genuine invitation to 'try something new', why post it three times? At least be honest enough to say you wanted some free advertising.

Post by: smurfboy on February 11, 2006, 03:11:05 pm
Yeah, maybe we should. We've been a bit hard on Bicerin and he deserves a chance.
Obviously we can't go today, so it will be the second Saturday in March. Look out for us Bicerin! We're very easy to spot; we are both over 6 feet tall and have bright orange hair.

Thanks for your considered opinion.
I accept that some of the points you make are valid and i shall take them on board.
However, in my endeavour to popularise Bicerin di Gianduiotto, delicious Italian chocolate liqueur, I have chosen to inform those who I thought would have a passion for chocolate (hence my posts in this forum) with the idea that it may be of interest.
Derisory comments and insults was not what I imagined I would be met with but I can give as good as I receive.
My initial intension was to create a debate not sling mud!
I shall continue to post as I still feel that there are some people out there who get where I am coming from!

I love the fact that people are many and varied with differing opinions, some more vociferous than others!
We all seek the pleasures of life in a myriad of ways and we don't all speak with one voice.
Sometimes appreciation and understanding is a silent pursuit.

I am sorry but we are entitled to exercise our critical faculties when faced with a product and advertisement that we might or might not like. Your responses to us have been so smug and, quite frankly, so up-yourself that if i had a bottle of the stuff now I'd tip it over your silly head!

Advertising isn't the problem, at least not for me; hell, look at what I do for a living! I think what annoys people is that Bicerin is trying to pretend he's doing us all a favour by enlightening us about this wonderful drink when really he just wants to flog a crate or two!

Bicerin |
 |
One of the oldest, most famous, and most delectable drinks in Piedmont. A Bicerin is in essence a “bicchierino” or “small glass” of melted chocolate, coffee, and milk. Back in the mid 1800's, when the bicerin was the trend of the times, there were three main varieties: pur e fior (coffee and milk), pur e barba (coffee and chocolate) and un po’d tut (milk, coffee, chocolate). Some maintain that this drink was invented at Caffè Florio, but today the most famous place to enjoy the bicerin is at the café Il Bicerin in piazza della Consolata (although you’re likely to find bicerin served at most of the cafes in Turin). |

I imagine some customer probably punched him for his cocky attitude.
We can but hope.

Man with hole in pocket feel cockt all day long
Man with 2 holes in pocket no feel too cocky.

Alternatively, try Vermeer Dutch Chocolate Cream Liqueur which is made with vodka, chocolate and cream. It's delicious.
And we're back to square one...

If you come into my kitchen you won't find a sharp knife anywhere. I have a fear of them.
That's fear smurfy and GC not a phobia.

I'm not likely to cut my finger off with a blunt knife.
No but it is more likely to slip on that which you are cutting and give you a nasty wound.

We have a set of sharp knives set in a block but I have to hide them because just setting eyes on them makes me go all funny. It's really silly becuse when i was in retail management many eyars ago I spent the whole of the long, hot summer of '76 learning butchery and I did not have a knife phobia then!
I've developed some phobias since having the children - I'm too scared to go on the back of my husband's motorbike now but 25 years ago I used to love being on the back and going 90 miles an hour from London to Devon!

So now you're accusing people of lying too? Wow, you know how to make yourself popular!
And it's must have, not must of.

By the way, if I had got a sample, and loved it, I would gladly sing your praises to the forum.

I always get a postage certificate when I send parcels now
I get a certificate for pretty much everything I send. I am a member of an online DVD rental company and sometimes they go missing when I send them back so the certificates are invaluable!

By recorded delivery and with a postage certificate. I always get a postage certificate when I send parcels now because so many things mysteriously disappear in the post, especially where ebay is concerned.
That postage certificate counts for nothing when nasty ebayers who paid on paypal claim their money back from you.
