If you go up to one of the chocolate machines in tube stations and keep pressing a combination of 1 and 0’s, a special message appears on the LCD display – a message that all Londoners might do well to heed. I can’t tell you what it is or it will spoil the surprise. If anyone can tell me why this m...

In light of the Ten Travel Commandments I’ve been thinking about how we can all make London a nicer place generally. I’m feeling particularly “Pollyanna” today, I just handed out 200 chocolate bars around our office and everyone was so appreciative. The thing is, it made me feel so good I...

Hi guys, I know this isn’t really London but…... Has anyone else noticed the change of shape of the malteaser teasers and the galaxy truffles in celebration boxes? It has really upset me! Maybe I’m weird, OK I AM weird, but still! Speak up if you’re also weird (about this) Richard...

Ok this is a bit random I know. From where can I purchase some decent chocolate-covered coffee beans? I don’t care about fancy frosting or any novelty packaging. I just want ones that are covered in decent dark chocolate and that make me BUZZ after ingesting a few! I recently tried some nice truffle-covered...

As Easter draws ever closer, I’m starting to frantically look for Lindt bunnies, BUT! I’ve seen them in New York in dark and white chocolate (different coloured collars and everything) and the Lindt website says they should be available in the UK, but I haven’t seen any.

I love peanut butter. I’m kind of partial to chocolate. When correctly combined together the result can seem miraculous. Which is why I’m a big fan of Reese’s. However, sometimes it’s not even easy to get just a little bit of joy. And it’s the little bits of joy that I’m seekin...

So there is a convention not to eavesdrop when MP’s are talking to constituents – and it’s been broken. Boohoo! There’s a far more serious convention that seems to be broken every day on the street of London and I mean the convention that says WALK ON THE EFFING LEFT! Okay, okay okay, at leas...

Any menu that includes a course called “pre dessert” is the sort of menu Londonist can appreciate. And if that menu happens to be a seven course seasonal chocolate menu dreamed up over six months of tasting and experimenting by Almeida head chef, Alan Jones, and chocolatier, Paul A Young … ? Well, Londonist can confirm that we’d love every last morsel of it! Read More
