Chocolate groupies, pay attention

This week may very well turn out to be the best in your year, the next six days have been declared National Chocolate Week in the UK. From Dorset's Chococo to London's Rococo, Britain's best chocolatiers will arm themselves with spatulas and piping bags to reveal their skills. The article I read claimed that ~British chocolatiers have become the rebellious punks of the chocolate world, bending the rules and incorporating everyday products into their creations.
Yesterday Rob and I were exploring Borough Market (not many stalls open on a Monday!) and found this great little Chocolate shop called The Rabot Estate from Saint Lucia, West Indies. We were intrigued by the chocolate pasta.....
but even more by the menu: Savory Cacao Wrap - Duck Confit, Dark Chocolate, Dried Cherries, Coriander, Roasted Cacao Nibs, Creme Fraiche or Sweet Cacao Wrap - Hazelnut Chocolate, Cacao Whipped Cream, Roasted Cacao Nibs
It was just too exciting for us so we settled for the most delicious cup of hot chocolate! Cheers!
