Bernachon, Lyon is at the NY show for the first time. You can't even find their bars in Paris except at L'Etoile d'Or. I bought a 'Jour et nuit' bar - a combo of milk on one side and dark on the other...
I bought a Bernachon hazelnut bar too...ahem
Intensely rich chocolate cakes from Portugese Choco Bolo
I rarely eat meat but I sinned and tasted chocolate enrobed bacon from Co.Co.Sala in D.C. - the bacon's saltiness combines perfectly with creamy dark chocolate - delicious!

Mmmm. That tube of Pralus chocolate looks like it could very well be mistaken for lotion...and what fun that could end up being!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! Look at all that yumminess, will ya...wow. Bet the air was perfumed as well.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though the Chocolate show was just last month! Have you ever had a German candy bar (nothing special and sold like our Hershey bars everywhere) by Milka - the flavor that is milk chocolate with ground hazelnuts in it (no big pieces of nut, but a very subtle paste of hazelnut throughout the chocolate)? It's not available in KC but a German friend helped me get some eons ago. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your review. I almost felt like I was there. Well, minus the calories anyway.
ReplyDeleteJan

ReplyDeleteHaven't been to the NY Chocolate Show
for years. I think the last one we attended was when we ran into you, PB.
Before you were PB?
Thanks for this deeeeliscious visit.
Carol, you got me hooked on the Paris Salon du Chocolat - looks like I need to come to NYC. This looks fabulous! Christophe Roussel is there, too? 2012 eat more chocolate! Great post, as ever.
ReplyDeleteGood Grief, that looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteChocolate in a tube! I think somebody is going to get rich on that :)
And chocolate covered bacon?
I think they sell Milka in my supermarket Jeanette..
ReplyDeletei will check for you.
Hazelnuts?

Ooooh, la, la. Bonjour chocolat, bien sur!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will see this for myself next year...and sample greedily.

It's so good for morale seeing all these chocolate beauties! I'd love to sample them myself, it surely keeps you high spirited and healthy!
ReplyDeleteI bought and polished off the chocolate-covered bacon yesterday

I tried the Vosges bacon chocolate a couple of months ago. I really wasn't a fan. I wanted to like it, but it wasn't for me. OTOH, your day looks fabulous, and what a haul you have to enjoy in the days to come.
ReplyDeleteI tried the Vosges too and didn't fall for it.
ReplyDeleteThis one was just a creamy dark chocolate on narrow strips of bacon - crunchy with a bit of smokiness + salt.
Not something you'd want everyday but fun and not too weird.
Thanks for the report. I was there, too, and was very pleased to see Grenada Chocolate Company... they have good quality cocoa.
ReplyDeleteDid you try the Antidote Chocolate from Ecuador. Best flavour: Almond and Fennel seed.. excellent cocoa, too. And very attractive packaging
Payard was great, I agree...Did you try Des Lis? Thin, thin couverture, great fruit fillings.

ReplyDeleteWe should meetup next time.
You have good tastebuds!
I have some Antidote
but it's hot :(
not my cup of tea
I bought the Grenada cocoa and so far...hmmm don't like it :(
Will retrieve from garbage now & try again :)
