Norwich, home of Sale of the Century and the butt of many jokes is, actually, a lovely city. The cathedral even has some Elizabethan graffiti scratched into its walls that is only apparent if the light is right and you know where to look, but if you do and it is, it’s electrifying to see.
It’s also home to Emporium Norwich, a chocolate shop that sells Brazilian artisanal chocolates. The beating heart of it all is something called a brigadeiro – a Brazilian truffle based on condensed milk. The selection of brigadeiros in (14) different flavours that you can choose, is a wonderful thing. Available in boxes of two (£4.35) to 48 (£73.25), these are more than mere chocolates, but mini desserts. If you’re having a drinks party – do we still do those? – and don’t want to make desserts, these would be perfect hand-me-rounds. (Do note the short shelf life and that they really need to be kept in the fridge.)
