Chocolate Week Alert

[owlfish]

In southern England? Like chocolate? Next week is Chocolate Week, an annual event featuring loads of chocolate-themed events, free samples, demos, and tours. Most of them are free. Some involve signing up. If you're interested in signing up, do so as soon as possible, as some of the more unusual events are already full. There's all sorts of things this year, from Paul A. Young launching a new chocolate shop right near Bank station to a chocolate-themed tour of the Natural History Museum organized by Rococo.

In honor of the week, Chocolate Ecstasy Tours will be doing another all day chocolate tour of London. I went on it last year with haggisthesecond and enjoyed it a great deal.

Most - but by no means all - of the events are in London. Most of the others are west of London, from chocolate-themed restaurant menus to samples at the Dorset Food Fair. Chococo is doing another mail-order Chocolate Week-themed box, and Sir Hans Sloane Chocolate & Champagne and L'Artisan du Chocolat are doing factory tours.

Apple Day at Melt and William Curley doing demos at John Lewis (among the other free drop-in things). Saturday the 20th would be good for me!

It's more that we should meet for lunch somewhere near Oxford Circus, Notting Hill Gate, or Sloane Square and then I drag you around.
