So are there any other differences between doggy chocs and people chocs (meaning
in particular anything harmful to humans)? I only ask because I love doggy
chocs, but tend to avoid them because I’m not too sure.
Actually I love Scotbloc (cooking chocolate) too. Is that as strange as some
people seem to think?
ObUni (sort of): At the Bath Bedlam Juggling Convention a few years ago, the
organiser arranged a chocolate fondue for the Saturday evening. Everyone was
given a bag of pick n’ mix on the way in, to dip in their fondue. Anyone thought
about doing the same thing at a unicycle convention?

Prob’ly wouldn’t hurt you if eaten in moderation and as part of a balanced
diet–lots of rice, cooked lamb, and a couple of crunchy biscuits a day to
scrape the tartar off the teeth.

You’re even weirder than I thought, Danny.

Don’t you mean Mistletoad? Or did I somehow miss a chocolate fondue evening
at Bedlam?

You’re quite right, I meant Mistletoad. Don’t panic about having missed out on a
choccyfest. Maybe we should think about doing one at BUC. Do you see Claire much
you could ask if there’s anything useful we’d need to know? Like what sort of
chocolate works well, whether it’s a standard fondue set or a special chocolate
fondue set, whether we could borrow hers…
And we didn’t try marshmallows. What about dipping toasted marshmallows in a
chocolate fondue? Sounds good after a hard day’s muni.
