Worst chocolate experience ever!
« Reply #15 on: April 08, 2005, 07:16:54 pm »
When I was in Spain at Christmas we had told the hotel in advance that several of us were vegetarians.  The message did not get through as roast turkey etc appeared on the big day.  When we explained politely, they offered us fish.  When this was rejected we ended up with fried egg, cabbage, carrots and roast potatoes - a strange combination and not one I recommend!

I dont know if this counts...but I once ate some Terry's Orange Segments a few Christmas's ago, I had a bit of a tummy ache anyway and I was sick. Haven't been able to eat Terry Chocolate Orange since. All I could taste was the orange.

I was once violently sick after eating a mini Boost (trying to recover from illness too quickly!) It put me off for a while, but I soon rediscovered my love for them.

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Whenever I see a Terry's Chocolate Orange it reminds me of that day. Hopefully this will go in time like your's did Smurfboy
