Milka

[azurelunatic]

E gave me a bar of Milka chocolate; said chocolate has been known to do bizarre things to hormones, and leave people gasping in sheer chocolatey bliss.

I must try it again sometime when my mouth hasn't been subjected to the ravaging influences of hot tea and crisps, because the overwhelming sensation, above and beyond the chocolate-ness, was that if I had more than one small square, my mouth was going to regret it in the same way that it regrets things walnut and banana.

We'll see.

For now, put hazelnut on the list of things to keep an eye out for in food. Also, whatever was in those cookies at the writer's group the other week.

*sigh* I used to be indestructable, food-wise, but for the walnuts and bananas.

If you email me your address I'll send out some chocolate. We have Milka here.

Before I do that, I have to test on the current bar of Milka to make sure it's something I can handle. Stupid allergies.

I don't have anything strong in the way of food allergies -- just enough to make my mouth peel. And I don't like that. Chocolate's already abrasive enough to be a bit of a problem.

Well, we have other chocolate. ;o)

If you are allergic to walnuts then ALL other nut varieties should be suspect. Be hyper-alert when eating anything with nuts... walnuts are usually the starting point.

Not being a harbinger of doom, just making an observation based on two other incidents with close friends.

My sensitivity to walnuts just peels the inside of my mouth. This chocolate has hazelnuts, peanuts, and almonds.

I've never had a problem with almonds, and I don't think I've recently eaten hazelnuts by themselves. While I don't much care for peanuts in peanut butter form, I doubt I'm allergic to them.

But I will keep an eye on things, and I do have a bottle of liquid antihistimine in my bathroom cupboard in case anything makes me start to swell up.
