foodie misadventures

The impossible has occurred. I never thought it could happen, but it did and i will now forever be in awe. There is such a thing as too much chocolate.

I have lived through many Easters and still I have not encountered anything quite as monumental as this. The full blown chocolate OD. So great, that an emergency litre of milk needs to be given intravenously to counteract the cocoa-coma. I wasn’t so lucky and shortly after ingesting more than the monthly recommended dose of chocolate in one sitting, I passed out for 12 hours. The next morning, I was still full! So full that I almost didn’t eat my mango; almost… but I still ate it; however with slightly less relish than usual.

In other interesting culinary adventures, I ate seal for the first time last Saturday. It was a little sad when you think about how cute they are, but then you taste it and their deliciousness out-trumps the guilt by like a billion and all you want is more seal. Dead, delicious seals. In terms of texture I’d say it’s a cross between veal and fish, and the flavour somewhat like rabbit. And if you had the choice, go for it lightly seared, as it better showcases both the tenderness and the flavour as opposed to smoked which I think even when done with a light hand, does not do the meat justice.
