Well. Tonight I'm tackling the Calindia Bar from Vosges Haut-Chocolat. The bar features Indian green cardamom, walnuts, and dried plums in 65% cacao dark chocolate. I hate when situations like this arise. Exotic spices and my life have rarely crossed paths. I had to pull up the Wikipedia entry for cardamom because I just had no clue. It was some exotic spice. I'd heard of it. I can't say I've never eaten anything containing cardamom. I just wouldn't have known if I had. So I had a little lack of background when it came to this bar. Just so you know that I'm coming at this from a totally left field place of total ignorance.

Ignorant or not I can still cough up an opinion of the thing. And my opinion is that it's tasty. I guess cardamom is kind of like ginger (which, apparently, it is related to) and nice. And there are walnut bits and chewy little plum bits. And chocolate, of course. I suppose that kind of goes without saying. But the combination of these elements is a good thing. It's got a nice zing to it from the cardamom and the walnuts and plums make for a nice change in texture and flavor. Very tasty. I like it. Yeah, I know, I don't have a lot intelligent to say here. That's why this isn't a full-blown review. 8.75 out of 10. Yummy!
