I love the dark chocolate ones the best, but their other flavors are fun
too! ;-d Those things make great gifties.

LOL! And it's lucky he shied away from some of that stuff, which
would be dangerous for a cat to eat!

The dark chocolate mint seems to be seasonal. I forget whether
they started making it for the last holiday season or the one
before that.

Dare I ask which location is closing? Lindt had a nice shop in
Burlington, which it closed shortly after it opened a smaller
store in the nearby mall.

I have a love-hate relationship with PB things. Odd. I think I
won't like them, but if I actually eat them, I do like them.
(Well, I should say that I don't like peanut butter used in
various foods where chopped or roughly ground peanuts should be used.)

See, I'm just the opposite. I don't care for bits of chewy nuts in
something I think should be totally smooth. :-) That's why I cannot
stand nuts in ice cream, or in fudge.

Crunchy peanut butter in a pb&j is the worst for me. I don't mind
crunchy peanut butter on a spoon or on a cracker but not in a pb&j. The
texture combination is just to weird for me.

Oh I totally agree with that one! I'm not one for chunky peanut butter
at all actually.

They generally do shy away from things they shouldn't eat. Weirdly
enough, none of the cats will go near bananas either. They pull their
heads away, blink and back off. Something in bananas just doesn't smell
edible to our cats.

Ooooh, I love them in both. Pistachio or mocha (heavier on the
coffee side) almond ice cream are my very favorites.

Heh. The crunchier the better for me. Lucky you though. You can
get TJ's organic peanut butter. The only organic chunky one is
made from Valencia peanuts, which I dislike.

Relatedly, I have noticed that raccoons don't like oniony type
things (or veggies, for that matter).

Speaking of which, is the rampant garlic mustard harmful to animals?

in his ice cream too. :-)

Does the cat like bananas in the peel or only after it's been opened?
It's the smell of the peel ours don't seem to like.
