<p>I agree that the 5 boys connection is a red herring. Unless my
battered memory is misleading me, you could still buy 5 boys
chocolate bars in the 1950s, and they were of solid rather than
filled chocolate. As for the mint taste, there were certainly bars
of creme-filled chocolate with a mint taste, but were they not
called chocolate mints or chocolate mint creams? There were also
boxes of mint-creme individual chocolate but I cannot remember
what they were called. "Peppermint cremes" perhaps? Incidentally,
is the odd "creme" spelling just a marketing affectation?</p>

<div>Also, it may be worth noting that Fry's merged with Cadbury's
in 1919; though I can't seem to find any information as to when
Cadbury's discontinued their own version of the bar in favour of
the Fry's brand and recipe (presumably to the bitter
disappointment of Leonard Woolf).</div>

day, Virginia and I, walking up Richmond
Hill, looked into the shop and there upon
the counter were slabs of chocolate cream
bars. When I was a child, you could buy
large fat bars of chocolate cream which
cost, I think, a halfpenny the bar. Some
were made by Cadbury and some by Fry, and if
you were an addict of Cadbury, you regarded
the Fry eater as a drinker of Musigny
Vieilles Vignes regards the drinker of
Australian Burgundy. I belonged to the
Cadbury school and have remained an addict
of chocolate cream in bars ever since
(though I have not seen any for years). The
Belgian chocolate cream bars were
un-English, being thin and continental, but
when we saw them, the world seemed to change
just a little and we dashed into the shop
and each bought three bars which was the
maximum that Madame X allowed each customer
to buy. We carried them back to Hogarth
House and ate them silently, almost
reverently. The Great War was at last over.</span></p>

All- I have a
research quest which
you might be able to
help me with? I am
looking for an
explanation of what
'chocolate creams'
meant in post WW1
Britain. Why? I need
an image of
chocolate creams as
recognised by
Leonard and Virginia
but as I don't know
what the term means
I am somewhat at a
standstill. Are
'chocolate creams'
hand made (or not)
confectionary
(sweets in a box),
biscuits (perhaps
like bourbons or
oreos today) or are
they a chocolate bar
(think Fry's) or
some sort of desert
made of chocolate
and cream? My mind
is frazzled by the
puzzle and I have
to say looking at
the pictures of
chocolate does make
me chocolate hungry.
The plural seems to
be important - any
ideas?

context as you
probably can guess
is that Virginia and
Leonard celebrated
the end of the war
together, sitting by
the fire,
'sacramentally'
eating 'chocolate
creams', purchased
from a Belgian
confectioner on
Richmond Hill (see
Glendinning). The
Bloomsbury Cookbook
by Jans Ondaatje
Rolls gives a recipe
for same but
according to a
Guardian review this
is more like a Swiss
roll (Regretfully I
don't have a copy of
the book to check).
Florinda in <i class="m_-8236184910114671041gmail_msg">Jacob's

partial to chocolate
creams and so might
I if I knew what
they were!
