ECG: Blown on the confection – DN.se

If it tastes, it costs.

Well, you have been told both once in different contexts.

Recently, many Swedes have hammered coffee after all the alarms about rising coffee prices and there are no bad price increases.

I myself have not hammered, but admit that I am a real coffee emosure and usually catch two cups every morning before the lightning has even woken up. So when it is time for breakfast, it is for me, for a three -year year.

Certainly the coffee has become expensive, But it can never be too expensive if you ask me. I can do without most, but definitely not the coffee tears.

But the coffee is not the only thing that has become more expensive. This week came the message about what awaits everyone who likes chocolate. Price increases there too, but instead of raising the price of the chocolate cakes, Marabou chooses to shrink them. An old honest 100-gram will continue to be replaced with a 90-gram and 200 grammar with one that weighs 160 grams.

I feel grounded because it will cause big problems for me. Not because I eat sweets. I gave myself a snap ban when I stood on the scale after the summer holiday in 2002. So far, I said and I have held, but of course I can be really candy. Last weekend we spent with two of Blixten’s grandchildren, who did not know how fast they would be able to stuff the contents of their Easter eggs.

So what is the problem, then You may be wondering. Well, I have found a recipe for a delicious and also easy dessert: chocolate panna cotta, with or without nuts, and there, in addition to cream and sugar, you should have just a 200-gram chocolate cake and two gelatin leaves for 4 people. Perfect if you are a quartet at the table.

Do I therefore have to limit the number of dessert eaters to three or buy another chocolate cake? I feel blown on the confectionery.

Although there is, of course, an advantage with the new size. As a consumer, you will be sure that the chocolate in the smaller format is more fresher than the one in the larger one. Always something.
