Just came back from a harrowing rehearsal, five and a half hours of Handel's "Julius Caesar in Egypt", not exactly a stellar cast onstage (one of the sopranos has a voice that reminds me forcibly of someone throwing scrambled egg on a wall) and a production that includes a lot of bondage and simulated rape, and was feeling sorry for myself when I remembered that I had gone shopping yesterday and had come back with some of the above.
This you can't get in America, I don't think: Swiss chocolate, 70%; with a lime/green pepper filling. Heaven.
