                              Chocolate - I've jst ordered 1kg of Amedei's Chuao -widely reported to be the best chocolate known to man (although I personally prefer Domori's Puertomar or Porcelana) - among other delicacies.
                              My mum's roast dinners with all the weird and wonderful trimmings

                              H) Four places I would rather be right now
                              Oxford
                              Home - though only briefly
                              A really nice restaurant - I'm in an extravagent, foodie-type mood.
                              Hungary
                              Smile
                              For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next
                              But he would think of something
