Sunday again, time for Lindt again. Because November is Lindt Month (though any month is just as good for trying Lindt chocolate... well, excepting hot summer months for trying Lindors - those balls become such an awful mess when it's hot). This time, it's a bar that I have tried before, but decided it was time to try again. Something very, very simple. A Lindt Swiss Milk chocolate. Now the only format in which such a chocolate is widely available here is the 300g Lindt Swiss Premium Chocolate. The big "golden" (or "silver") bars. One might also find a 100g or 125g Lindt Swiss Milk bar at a petrol station or a supermarket that sometimes has more "exotic stuff," but I really didn't have time to waste and the thought of going through maybe more than thirty petrol stations and ten supermarkets before finding a 100g or 122g Lindt Swiss Milk bar (or giving up!) was not appealing at all!

The wrapper looks... well it's not the best looking Lindt wrapper, that's for sure! I always love seeing the Lindt logo, the Lindt font, and I like the idea of having a golden wrapper for what is supposed to be a premium range. I've always found the image on this bar a bit uninspired. The milk is white, the bowl is white, that... thing (what do you call that in English?) from which the milk is poured into the bowl is white. There is no image of Lindt chocolate blocks, which I think it's a pity as the actual Lindt chocolate inside the wrapper always looks pretty.

I love Lindt chocolate. Milk, mild to medium dark, white... I first discovered Lindt on acold Saturday morning, just before the Electromagnetism partial exam. That's why I still remember the date - 23rd of November 2003. Lindt Milk Chocolate with Spekulatius Biscuit and Praline Cream (also inside view). Yes, I had the chocolate with me in the exam room and I ate it afterwards. And it was cinnamon and milk chocolate Heaven! Obviusly, next step was to get the Lindt Gingerbread Pralines box - yes, yes, yes! I drove everyone crazy with that year's Lindt Christmas offerings. Other chocolates were to try once. Lindt was something to have over and over...

In the first half of the next year, I tried the Nouvelle Confiserie chocolates. Oh, they were lovely (I was a bit unsure about white chocolate, it had never been real chocolate to me, but I even liked those). Please, Lindt, please bring them back!
