Oh yes, there was hot chocolate
I’m back from the Aroma Festival at The Rocks, buzzing quietly after — and this is only a guess, I lost count somewhere around 2.30pm — three coffees and four hot chocolates.
I sampled every European-style thick hot chocolate on offer, I think prize for thickest goes to the website-less Gourmet Beverage Company's hot chocolate (pictured). Granted it’s a sissy purple plastic spoon, but it stood standing unassisted for at least thirty seconds while it was photographed from every angle.
That’s worryingly thick.
I’m a simple man so I stuck with the original chocolate version, steering clear of flavours ranging from chilli pepper (chilli and chocolate being a match made in heaven, as evidenced by the sadly discontinued Dangerous Liaisons Tim Tams) to the slightly disturbing sounding Yellow-flesh peach and chocolate.
On an unrelated note, my vote for best coffee was hands-down Toby’s Estate. That’s a tasty, tasty coffee.

I have now been informed that the legendary hot chocolate at G's Winebar (Griffith Uni) has now been made even thicker. "small mountains of chocolate in a cup" apparently.
