Dubai Chocolate

I assume the mountain was Te Mata Peak, you look down on one side at the Craggy Range Winery, and get a pretty good view of Hastings and then across to Napier. I assume the stonehenge place is Otatara Pa (which is a military style village). The Mission was the first winery in the area, dates from the 1850s I think, started by the Catholic missionaries.

Overnighting in Nelson doesn't sound right ... that's in the South Island.

Napier!

Where are those, on Marine Parade? I can't expand the pics as I have dirtyfreeloader on because this forum is unusable for me without it on.

Ok, I Google Lensed it. At the mouth of the Ngaruroro river. I haven't been there before, but would have driven past. Looks like it was completed around 2019. Will have to check it out next time I'm home.

The ones at my local cafe are branded Rolalicious Dubai Chocolate. I still don’t understand what makes it different / better?

Working at Liquorland Marrickville Metro one day a customer left a block of the Whittakers Coconut at the counter, i put it in the office and waited a couple of days but nobody came back or rang up to see if they had left it so i took it home and yummmmm.
Used to have a few times when customers left some groceries behind, mainly toilet paper but scored at big bottle of olive oil once also.

Ok Diddy

My sisters resides in Abu Dhabi , preciously lived in Dubai , I asked her if they still call it Dubai Chocolate in Dubai . She said no , and it’s just cheap shit chocolate . Huge overpriced gimmick. Like the prestigious Toblerone was here in the 80s . It was deemed a special occasions only product , like Crown Lager.
If dad brought a case of Crownys home or mum A box of Veanetta ice cream or Toblerone , They’d obviously got a promotion or your dog was about to go to “ The Farm “:

Branding aside if you like texture and pistachio its pretty nice.

Last year on holidays it was incredibly prevalent in baked goods in Europe and was delicious.

A friend brought some back from holidays (months ago) and stop over.
I thought it was pretty good but not worth what it was being sold for earlier.

Reminded me of Ferrero Rocher
