My kitchen floor is a sea of plastic bags. The Coles delivery man hands me a clipboard with to sign. I find a pen to use. He’s placed a little white box in the corner of the bench. I wonder?
He’s gone and I pick up the box. It’s a free sample of two chocolates. Alright, grocery shopping online for the win!

Man, the Three Colours films are supposed to be so great but the first two were pretty dull. May as well finish what I started and watch the third. Perhaps the sample chocolates will help me get through.
Inside the little box I find that each chocolate is in it’s own foil packet. The pink one says it contains ‘Strawberry Blush’ and the brown holds ‘Mudcake’.
Pink first. It’s square, brown chocolate on all sides except the top which is pink. It’s rather like looking at a mug of chocolate filled with strawberry milk. Cute!
Lick the chocolate. Not much taste. Lick the pink. Very sweet!
Biting… yum! The inside is filled with soft white with a delicious sweet berry flavour. It’s possible that the pink top is actually white chocolate while the white filling is the strawberry centre. It tastes lovely. The milk chocolate shows its flavour when bitten, adding a contrasting coolness to the sugary strawberry.
This is pretty awesome. Looking forward to mudcake now!
Mudcake has no pretty topping, just a cylindrical chocolate. Licking still doesn’t produce much flavour.
Bite in and yes, there is a soft chocolate centre. There is no deepness to it though, no dark flavour, it’s quite ordinary chocolate. Fine but not great like I was expecting from a brand marketing itself as gourmet, and disappointing compared to the beautiful strawberry.
Still, free chocolate is free!
Doesn’t manage to add much excitement to Three Colours Red though. Ah well, food can’t do everything.

Sorry to hear you’re not enjoying Trois Couleurs! Bleu is extremely moody and psychology; I think you need to be inside her head to really get it. I like Blanc because it’s frothy and silly in a lot of ways: a man loves a woman so much, he goes great lengths to win her back after she divorces him. Rouge is my favourite because I like the paralleling of stories. Oh, and the music. But they’re certainly not conventional movies.
Also, Coles online = FTW!
