the sweet scrapbook

I had never heard of Solidarnosc (the name means "solidarity") until two weeks ago when I first spotted some of their Liqueurs & Vodka chocolate boxes in Auchan. As usual, I bought an assortment box because I wanted to give each flavour a try. The assortment boxes come in three colours (white, yellow and blue), but I couldn't notice any difference between them beside the main colour of the box. I chose a blue box.

Being the curious creature that I am, I had to look for more information about them. This is what I have found on their website:

Firma Cukiernicza Solidarnosc was founded on 4 June 1952. The beginning of the sixties saw the birth of the product which is the firm's pride, which remains in its product range to this day and continues to attract undiminished consumer interest, Naleczowska Plum in chocolate. 1994 was the date the product which has won most awards was introduced to the market. Chocolates with hazelnuts in cream "Golden Nut"

Combining tradition with modern management methods, Solidarnosc has created a brand thanks to which, today it has a very significant position on the market. The company's most important capital is the quality of its products, which is achieved thanks to modern technology and our own recipes. The products are distinguished by an unlimited range of flavours, and a colourful, esthetically pleasing and attractive graphic layout.

The first entry in the scrapbook was about Ice-Mastry Garden Party Chocolate with Cherries ice-cream. Well, I recently had the opportunity to try something new from Ice-Mastry: Basala Walnut with Chopped Walnuts.

Not long ago, I happened to come across one of the prettiest boxes of chocolates I have ever seen. They were called Vobro Choco Party Best Wishes. Vobro is a Polish confectionery producer from Brodnica.

They have three designs for the Vobro Choco Party Best Wishes box and it took me a while to decide which I liked best. I eventually picked the one with the tulip. I also saw their Cherry Roses boxes, but the Vobro Choco Party Best Wishes promised Cointreau chocolates so, given that I have a weak spot for orange in chocolate, it was easy for me to decide which one I wanted to try first.

This just happens to be the very last sweet thing I've tried. Bought it on Tuesday, tried it... immediately after, obviously! And on Wednesday again.

Ice-cream from... the country of Kopernik (Copernicus, the guy with the Heliocentrism Theory, remember?), Chopin (the composer), Joseph Conrad (the guy who wrote The Secret Agent), Henryk Sienkiewicz (I read a lot of stuff written by this guy when I was little... and his name was the first one that came to my mind, but I thought I'd list them chronologically here), Marie Curie (you must have heard about her, she started the study of radioactivity, she made the periodic table two elements richer, she was the first person to ever get two Nobel Prizes and the first ever female to become professor at the University of Paris), Roman Polanski (the film director) and Robert Kubica (have I ever mentioned I've been watching Formula 1 races ever since I was ten years old?). Yes, I'm talking about Poland (by the way, I did put links, but I did not cheat - I only put the names I had thought of before searching on the internet).
