For me, it's especially digestive biscuits or oatcakes - I really like the taste on its own :lol: Or is the chocolate thing a British preference? Possibly. I'm personally big on milk chocolate and won't touch dark chocolate. Altho... |

The article appears to be an unhappy mum sticking up for her son but really without any real information how is one to judge? I take Tawaki's view, there could be a number of reasons for the vest.
