Greetings from the Eternal City!!!

I'm here in Rome for "research" for a couple of weeks, and after a few fun-filled days of taking in the sights I've turned my attention to the more fundamental things in life; chocolate.

I haven't tried the Magnum chocolate yet, but the Italians appear to love it. Anyone hear of/tried Magnum chocolate cars?

I was in Rome in July. The chocolate ice cream with cream was nice.

Ask for 'Gelato chiocolatto con panna'

Let us know what other kinds of chocolate you find.

Thanks for the tip!

I'll keep you updated. Lot's of Milka and Carte D'Or so I'm doing just fine....

...one thing I can say, they like nuts in their chocolate. The more the better, evidently!

Europe is VERY nut orientated.

How do the allergy sufferers cope there!?

Let's find one and ask them.

I don't know. Maybe .... they don't eat chocolate at all

No, unthinkable.

Do people who don't eat chocolate really exist?

There probably is someone out there who doesn't like chocolate, but it is hard to image. When you think about it chocolate is featured in a lot of products.

Milka is heaven.

I know somebody who, although he says he quite likes chocolate, buys about one bar a year to keep in the fridge and has a single square every few weeks because he forgets it's there! Unbelievable!

To be honest nut allergy sufferers have it very tough even with non-nutty chocolate, as everything says on it these days 'may contain traces of nuts' to make sure the companies are covered. Glad I don't suffer from that!

I am allergic to Brazil nuts. All other nuts are OK for me but I don't like them. Peanuts, IMO, don't belong anywhere near chocolate. Hazelnuts are really vile. Almonds are just about OK. But Brazils - well, when I was six, someone gave me some chocolate with Brazil nuts in and immediately my tongue and throat became swollen and my skin produced huge red lumps. I couldn't breathe - it was very scary.

A lot of young people do grow out of allergies, but I would be scared to find out if I had, if that was my reaction!
