I ate LION BALLS, and I liked it!

RELAX GUYS! I have never been a fan of exotic dishes, especially one which includes testicles. I'm talking about Nestle's chocolate: Lion.

My love-affair with this particular species of the Lion started when I was a kid back in Qatar. It was very common to see this chocolate bar alongside household names like Mars, Snickers, Galaxy, Toblerone and Toggi (all that will be featured in this blog soon). It is composed of a wafer, enveloped by caramel with rice crispies on top, finished with a generous layer of milk chocolate.

When I was in Bahrain International Airport last month on my way back to the Philippines from a quick vacation, I was looking for chocolates to spend my last dinars on. Ten minutes before boarding time I caught sight of these two. I hate the way chocolate sticks on the wrapper when it melts (what a waste, eventually I lick the chocolate off the wrapper making me oh-so-unladylike) so I thought that this waas something very handy for me. I bought one of each.

Because I brought a lot of different chocolates from my trip and eventually had a case of tonsilitis I had to keep the Pop Chocs in the cupboard until further notice. 

Just before work earlier today, I shoved the Lion Pop Chocs inside my Spongebob SquarePants tin lunchbox. In the middle of my shift I teared the top portion of the package to expose a ziplock-like enclosure, opened it and picked one. My first impression was that it looked like GOAT SHIT! But when I put the ball of Lion inside my mouth = HEAVEN! Super worth the wait! I ate another one. And another one. And ate more when I decided to share my blessing and gave the rest to my co-associates, only after I put 7-9 balls in a tissue paper which I wrapped and took home (which is now kaput!) 

*I have to remind myself to ask Mama to buy me some of these when she comes over in October. Kitkat Choc Pops get ready, you're next.

THE VERDICT:  
LION BALLS MAKES ME WANT TO ROAR FOR MORE!
