I know I've told you that Vosges is one of my favorite chocolatiers. And you are getting really tired of me ranting and raving about my love for bacon. Imagine my surprise and delight on reading the description for Vosges' latest, the Groove Truffle Collection:
Experience our latest sensory journey in chocolate. The Groove Collection is a study of the African-American influence on America’s musical history through chocolate, story and song. Use the enclosed booklet to guide you through the historical significance of each musical era, beginning with the field songs of the 1600s and moving through the history of jazz, blues, soul, funk, hip hop and more. As you read along, listen to that genre’s song and taste a truffle that reflects a popular ingredient of the time. John Lee Hooker’s "Bundle Up and Go" paired with a hickory smoked bacon and milk chocolate truffle; Louis Armstrong’s "Mack the Knife" alongside a dark chocolate truffle blended with Café du Monde(TM) chicory coffee; Grandmaster Flash’s "The Message" with a dark chocolate, horseradish, lemon zest and cocoa nib truffle creation. The perfect gift for chocolate and music lovers alike!
Emphasis is mine, of course. But how can you not emphasize a hickory smoked bacon and milk chocolate truffle? Let me repeat that. A hickory smoked bacon and milk chocolate truffle.
Fuckin' A.
Heheh, you are a blogging fool! :) Nice to meet you. Found you on the nablo list.
Cheers
