The one with the easter bunny

Easter is quite a bit of time ago, I know. Back then my mom gave me this chocolate Easter bunny. If you ever get the chance to get your hands on Lindt chocolate: take it! It's one of my favourite brands of chocolate (when we were in Rome, there was A WHOLE LINDT STORE full of these heavenly treats), and I think it's not a bad thing it's not widely available over here. That would be too much temptation for me to resist. 


Anyway, I have a little confession to make: I am a bit quirky when it comes to food. The order in which things should be eaten, the way it should be cut (slices of cheese DO taste better than cubes) and more crazy stuff like that. Another one: I do not like eating food that is shaped like animals. I just don't have the heart to eat it. Well, almost. This bunny had been sitting on a shelf for months. Until my sweet tooth started begging me to eat The Bunny. I started looking for other treats in cupboard, to save bunny's life. But none were there, so I obliged.... Poor thing! Do you have any food related quirks?

  1. Haha, I have the same weird "thing" about eating animal shaped food. Even as a child! I could never eat those animal cookies ;-) I also prefer the chocolate Easter eggs to the bunnies...

  2. I CANNOT believe you made the Easter bunny last this long! It would've been gone Easter evening at my house! That having been said, I do have qualms about biting their ears off--it seems so barbaric.

  3. Lindt chocolate is delicious! We have one of their stores at a mall over here, and it's so tempting every time we go by. Godiva chocolate is pretty good, too. :-)

    My main food quirk is that I try to eat everything on my plate at the same pace. I know some people will finish their meat first and then eat one side dish at a time, but I can't! I have to take one bite of each thing, and then I always try to end with a bite of whatever I like best. Haha.

  7. Ha! This is a great post. :) I agree that sliced cheese tastes better than cubed. I like mine thinly sliced as well. I always have to have my sandwiches cut in half, always.

  9. You're not alone - I also don't like to eat food shaped like animals so although I love Lindt chocolate, it would take me a long time to eat this bunny, too! But it looks like he was delicious in the end :)

  12. Lol. Yes I do. When it comes to eating animal crackers, I usually eat the legs and tail first followed by the head and then the body.

  14. Until months before I moved there, the city where I went to college had a Lindt store. Sadly, it was replaced by some generic clothing shop. =(

  15. This post made me smile. I have a weird thing about things like gummy worms - they remind me too much of actual worms, which grosses me out so I just can't. (Bears are okay though, for some reason...). I didn't eat noodles for awhile when I was younger because it reminded me of the worm situation!

  16. Ha, I can totally relate. I have a ferrero Rocher eating quirk, and can never understand that others dont'follow my Ferrero Rocher eating rules. I mean they are really simple. The rules are this: first take off the outer layer of chocolate and nut with your teeth. Most important that you don't dint the wafer with your teeth. Then, when all the outer layer is gone, you have to snap the wafer ball along its seam with your teeth and eat one half, and then the other. Simple really. Kind of like snapping the ears off the bunny first so that you can't recognise it looks like a bunny. :)
