OK, fess up, which crazy person had the idea of putting chocolate on Rich Tea biscuits?
It's so wrong, it's unbelievable.
Obviously the whole point of a Rich Tea biscuit is to be the most joyless snack imaginable. Adding chocolate defeats it's entire purpose. It's like having the TV on in school detention so that kids enjoy it more.
It's a category error. How can there be an overlap between the group "Food with chocolate on" and "Food you eat to mortify the flesh"?
Are we supposed to think "Being a sour self-loathing kind of individual, I will restrict my between-meals culinary pleasure to a hard disc of neutral colour and taste - but I do fancy a bit of chocolate on it"?
Or "Ooooh, I just fancy a bit of choccy - I'll have it spread thinly over a puritan ship's biscuit to make sure I don't get carried away"?
It's a wacky wacky world.
