A Bad Idea

It is often maintained that combining fruit and chocolate is a bad idea. Of course, white chocolate does not count: it tends to go well with fruit since it is not really chocolate at all and, not being a fan, you can eat it with marmalade for all I care. However, chocolate and orange can work quite well – I mean, we all like Jaffa cakes, don’t we, even if that also stretches the definition of chocolate. And then there are ‘pamelas’, little strips of candied grapefruit peel dipped in dark chocolate and served with coffee.
