3. Back to you syringis!

Thought of you in my layover in Brussels recently. Been enjoying the big chocolate bar of Belgium chocolate I brought in the airport.

8. Hi Kim

Isn't our chocolate the best in the world ? It is, believe me

Hmmm...I should care...I'm starting to talk like Trumpig.

[kimbutgar]

12. Yes , I admit Belgium chocolate is delicious and better than our Ghiaradelli

[MLAA]

14. It is without doubt the best. A gift to the world😊

[syringis]

19. Hi MLAA

Thank you

I have friends from Switzerland. I like to tease them, saying our chocolate is better than theirs.

In all fairness, they do have excellent chocolate too. But it seems they like to keep for them

The ones sold abroad are really not the best and, in my opinion, don't reflect the quality of the chocolate you find in Switzerland.

[MLAA]

22. I also like Maison du Chocolat

Found them in Paris and later found their Rockefeller Center location in NYC. Delicious but very expensive. Which Belgian maker is your favorite?

[syringis]

24. I don't have a specific favorite one

It depends on my mood

I like Neuhaus, Galler. We also do have many small makers of great craftsmanship chocolate.

26. And don't forget the waffles ! And the beer ! I spent a good year in Brussels and really

enjoyed the fantastic restaurants too.

Happy Easter !

15. Happy Easter syringis!

Your chocolate is the best in the world! I miss it! In NYC I could get it at Leonidas on 5th Avenue. Here in Boston, we don't have a store, but Beacon Hill Chocolates sells Leonidas. I am inspired to go out and buy some!

Hope you are doing well and feeling better!

[syringis]

18. Thank you very much dear

I'm following very closely my doctor advice

I'm doing better, thank you Sweetie

[syringis]

20. Thank you Fla Dem

Very calm and relax

[DFW]

17. Pour toi aussi de l'Allemagne

Joyeuses Pâques également!

Ça me rapelle--il faut passer par Wittamer bientôt pour restocker..........

[syringis]

21. Merci beaucoup, cher ami

J'espère que vous avez eu un bon dimanche de Pâques aussi en Allemagne.

Vous avez trouvé une solution pour l'opération de ton épouse ?

[DFW]

23. Non, elle sera probablement le 2 mai, comme ils ont dit

Le confrères ici qui insistent que le soin médical est parfaite (et gratuite) en Allemagne m'ennervent comme tu ne peux pas t'imaginer, mais l'ignorance n'est pas un domaine où la droite a le monopole, malheureusement.

[Skittles]
